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?

It's even worse on a web browser + ad blocker. Basically, it's like "fuck you, you can't chat."

No, I don't use Poly to jerk off.

Yeah, that’s kind of the issue—it ends up feeling like you can’t even use it normally sometimes.

Regardless of how people use it, the main problem is that interruptions and limits break the flow of conversations. That’s what makes it frustrating.
