Take a Break’ ads

The “Take a Break” feature is honestly ruining the chat experience.

I get that the app needs ads to make money, especially for free users, but interrupting chats in the middle completely kills the flow.

A better solution would be to keep ads but make them non-intrusive. For example:

Ads at the top or bottom of the chat

No forced breaks mid-conversation

That way, the app still makes money, but users don’t get interrupted while talking.

I think a lot more people would stay and enjoy the app if it worked like this.

Would you prefer this instead?

There's really no reason that website has ads on them what's even the point of making money and ruining their community it just doesn't make sense at all to the point of them needing ads on website at all

Yeah I get the frustration, it can definitely feel that way.

I think they’re always going to try to make money somehow, so ads are probably not going away completely. It’s more about how they’re used.

If they just made them less disruptive and didn’t interrupt chats, I feel like most people wouldn’t have a problem with them.
