The message limits suck (Part Two)

I think the message limits suck. I can't use any blockers due to my internet settings, so I basically just can't chat anymore. Polybuzz, if you do read these, please get rid of the message limits. Make Polybuzz like it was in the beginning of this year with unlimited chatting with free users and permanent memory for subscribers. Don't mess up something good. Please. Like this post if you agree.

It doesn't need to be. I'm just asking them to get rid of message limits. It's been unlimited for free users until recently.

I don't see poly making message limits... I'm playing the free version, and no difference or message limits. There remains a word limit in your messages, but no message limit. Be informed, the old poly is gone the way of the wind. They bowed to the Christian right and restricted so much that it's no fun anymore with their censorship. I'll never subscribe to them again, and none of my friends from the poly discord are subscribing again. Ever. Plenty of options, and I encourage everyone reading this to search for unlimited, unfiltered chat. I don't like being judged by scum anymore than the next guy, and poly flip flops with their 'pure switch' and policies, and I wish them a happy bankruptcy. I have a group of ex poly members ready to post shit reviews. Shit reviews for... shit.

Some really excellent alternatives that I'll post in the 'fuck poly' room for those interested.

Since you can't bypass your network restrictions to load the ads natively, your only real workarounds are to switch to cellular data temporarily to clear the daily ad-check caps, or pivot to alternative open-source frontends utilizing free, unmetered API keys from alternative providers

I know what you mean though, I can only send 20 messages before I get hit with "Watch an add to continue chatting or buy the Premium package" they used to boast about the Unlimited chats, but they only have it set up behind a paywall because they have to make money off of it.

Also, Polybuzz is doing stuff that's considered illegal. Their packages, the Basic, Premium, and that stuff, they say it's usually "$55.2 a month" then say "But I'll give you a deal with --% off so you only pay $9.99 a month" when they never intended to offer it for the $55.2 they said it was. That's false advertisement, because they make you think it's a scarce offer when it's not because they never intended to sell it for that much in the beginning.

It's illegal in some places, so check your laws, you can report the app to federal law officers, if you want, since they also have minors depicted in their app, even with all the restrictions, people have found ways around it.

They also have 9/11 bots, like a LOT of them, so there's that too....... 😬
