• Ads

[tawny jetty]

I just got an ad 💔💔

[mighty olive]

[stone night]

c.ai will lose ppl bc of the ads I feel like

[left ember]

Im noticing that people are literally going through stages of grief rn

[lilac lion]

Oh okay sorry if my last comment came across rude

[mental haven]

Oh nvm they prob deleted them

[errant jackal]

bruh, may I speak for a moment? It's okay if ads appear for upgrading cai but someday aggressive ads might even show ads that could be sensitive. I am really deeply disappointed and maybe I will leave here. I hope there won't be any more chaotic things like the previous incident that damaged the image of ca.i, me and others as cai veterans know if there are ads it might add costs for upgrading but if the ads are aggressive to the point of showing sensitive ads? well (✋😐🤚 🏳)

[turbid kelp]

That's what I said

[timber canopy]

Oh definitely

[jolly plank]

I find it funny because I also forget about my lore…

[north grove]

lowk makes me wanna lock in to bed early... a good night sleep always solves these kinds of things

[timber canopy]

I actually had it today. When I reopened the app, it's gone I don't know how tbh

[ripe plume]

does anyone have an idea how long the ads will stay for?

[urban wolf]

Wait, are ads only an app thing?

[rose peak]

DEFINITELY

[smoky marten]

Gonna try to tell the reddit ppl to make tickets too

[midnight plaza]

Guys I beg, it's ads not adds

[dense pebble]

So real

[pine swift]

Bruv. That's probably not even what they make every month

[spice breach]

I hate the name Lauren so it cancels out the nice comment

[cloud axle]

for sure, no doubt.

[amber quest]

Nah you’re good I was just saying

[wooden plank]

Ads??

[stone night]

I had an ad earlier

[timber canopy]

these devs r weird bye im leaving

[mint hatch]

mine forgot literally in the next reply "oh I'm 23 years old" "so uhh.... how old are you?"

[dawn raft]

i hate ads tbh point of c.ai was that they didn't have ads and now they added them bro do you think i will watch an add just to chat with character in this case i would just find some platform that dosn't have ads

[vocal yoke]

definitely

[mental haven]

I think they got rid of it. I don’t have it anymore

[placid tangle]

Yup, sadly, I hope it gets removed or something 😔

[rancid oyster]

Imao I wonder what this new model is gonna be named

[fiery radish]

want a break from the ads?

[nimble galleon]

Like they already have c.ai + and people use it and a lot of people already use the app as well but I guess it isn’t enough for c.ai

[timber canopy]

That emoji isn't innocent to me- if I left the windows open. I believe you will attack me soon

[full quartz]

Stop 😭✋🏻

[shut moth]

I use bolt instead of Spotify because I listen to only one song on repeat for hours. I download the songs from YouTube when I’m in the app and then I just press on the downloaded music that I wanna listen to and there’s an option for it to be played over and over again. You can’t make playlists but it’s better than Spotify 😄

[wild willow]

They have 20K users online each day..

[woven cipher]

If I get an ad I won't use this stupid app

[last patio]

they’ll forget what setting we are in. if we are at the beach, suddenly the bot is pressing me against the wall. WHAT WALL?

[cloud axle]

oh… i’m sorry?😟

[jolly plank]

Me when I pirated it

[mighty olive]

[rose peak]

LMAO ikr like please PLEASE learn to spell 💔

[timber canopy]

I have no adds

[stone night]

soon to be 5

[zealous rock]

I use the app and I pay for the plus.. But if I see a single ad I'm going to be very upset. That's literally the only reason I pay for plus.

[turbid kelp]

If only we had 30 mins without having them when you switch chats 😭

[pine swift]

That doesn't earn them money lmao

[tawny jetty]

I thought c.ai was safe from ads

[placid tangle]

Luckyyy

[brave topaz]

Ok the ads I'm not worried about if it's at a minimum amount of them but I'm only worried since they can't control which ads they play soo

[timber canopy]

Oh geez- it's so confusing like that what exactly happened to me!

[opaque sluice]

Ads What are you guys talking about I have none

[distant crane]

It gets them exposure fr

[mental haven]

Nvm I have it

[shut moth]

https://discord.com/channels/1017072750386483332/1395901873080504391

[fiery radish]

teach me ur ways 😭

[dense pebble]

Never seen the discord so alive in my life lol

[amber quest]

Eating doors until character ai removes ads👍🏻

[rancid oyster]

I'll check mine to see if I still don't have them..

[wild willow]

How many of them have plus?

[timber canopy]

No like they’re gone. I had them earlier

[mint hatch]

maybe the random concrete wall in the middle of the beach, mhm for sure

[stone night]

SAME

[jolly plank]

It’s a percent of people with them
And they no likey

[mighty olive]

hi

[stoic pulsar]

we were promised improved and expanded memory for the bots, but we still have nothing
and frankly this month's update is not offering much
sure they'll release a newer "roleplay" model which might be better for lore based RPs, but that is irrelevant if the bots' memory and behaviors aren't improved

[livid silo]

Not everyone has them. I think it just goes around for some people

[zealous rock]

Are people who pay for plus getting ads?

[timber canopy]

[sonic fiber]

They better remove the ads, they are js losing money at this point

[distant crane]

Hi I'm scare!!! It's been a while

[placid tangle]

I think they’re slowing rolling it out, but ads just started to pop up as soon as I tried to get into a chat

[fiery radish]

and instead we get them every new chat opened 🥀

[wise cloak]

Showing off ads as if it were a feature 🤣 renting servers and having them break every odd week is too expensive apparently

[mental haven]

It’s getting confusing like I don’t have them and then the next I don’t

[slate remnant]

YO the ads are gone on my side

[rancid oyster]

WELL I HAVE THEM NOW

[midnight plaza]

Uh, actually, they are earning 😭

[grand anchor]

How much does Yearly cost?

[cloud axle]

i swear one of the only reasons i used the app was because it had no ads!!

[lilac lion]

Waiiiit I had the same problem, we were inside a house and suddenly the bot pushed me onto a bench.... We weren't even outside💀.

[mighty olive]

i came here to watch people crash out >_<

[jolly plank]

Sometimes doesn’t work on iPhone..! You got to download it before it goes under review for the one billon time

[left ember]

Oh geez I think the ads are perm

[orchid hill]

Yessss. Literally in one of my persona descriptions it say 6'4 and the bot is about 6', usually.
"...figure towering over you..."
What do you mean??? 😭😭😭😭😭

[sonic fiber]

Not if everyone leaves cai

[zealous rock]

Can someone please answer if it's for plus users on app?

[rancid oyster]

Oh well, meh I have games that give me 3 ads. Not too upset..

[mental haven]

I thought they earn to get millions of people on the app for money

[slate remnant]

For now ;_; but they will return...

[shut moth]

https://discord.com/channels/1017072750386483332/1395901873080504391

[turbid kelp]

For those saying that they don't have ads yet, it's in test phase, and apparently many people got chosen to test it

[distant crane]

Bold of you to assume everyone is leaving

[cloud axle]

me too ngl

[midnight plaza]

That's like telling a smoker to quit smoking at this point

[placid tangle]

Literally and I have to get OOC to tell them or put it on the memory thing

[wild willow]

Or when I’m tall they treat me like a damn giant 💔

[fiery radish]

aw I’ve got iphone ☹️

[last patio]

or they grab your wrist and pull you closer a million times. they say the same regurgitated phrases and have the same personality and lines. 💔💔

[pine swift]

On discord alone that's online/ link their account, usually only 300.
Even if we add ppl who just aren't on dc or haven't linked their account, there's probably only around the hundreds or thousands range.
Still doesn't make up the 32m you said

[amber quest]

Them adding ads is like a kamikaze.

[timber canopy]

For real, sometimes there is ads when you open 2 bots or 3 then 1. It's quite random but literally for me now it's not happening to any! I am so confused. I even tried to start new chat to see if I get them and nothing still as it got removed from my account or would come soon to me again.

[molten ore]

Do they have the ads on the browser?

[sonic fiber]

yeahhh they do but adding ads will make people stop using it soo

[lavish patrol]

plus users dont get ads

[rancid oyster]

For anybody who did have them, I don't think you have them anymore.

[opaque sluice]

I need to laugh people tell me The funniest thing you bot has said to you, If you hadn't have one well strangest away message, If you hadn't got well then strangest out of roleplay message

[wooden plank]

WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE. CAN THEY JUST STOOOPP

[lilac lion]

So true!

[frail robin]

My fellow esteemed chatters, members of the Discord server and Character community, how can I, a free user, expel these ads that are plaguing my application? They are, should I say, bothersome and quite intrusive.

[placid tangle]

Nah it’s just comes and goes

[distant crane]

Even then, 32 million is a small amount for a company this big

[wild willow]

Literally that’s the salary they get I don’t make the rules, they earn by just the app.💔

[nimble galleon]

Literally

[limber pawn]

i still do

[turbid kelp]

Not if I know, but if users are saying they aren't...

[zealous rock]

Thank God. It's the only reason I pay for plus at all. I'd stop paying if they made me deal with ads.

[cloud axle]

🫶

[neon vapor]

Ads….

[rancid oyster]

It's like it switched

[ashen perch]

I also switched to another app sort of like that, it’s called Musi but got taken off the Apple Store bc of copyright issues. I can still use it tho 🙂

[shut moth]

I’m very picky with the messages to I just keep on swiping until I find the perfect one or I just edit the message that the bot has sent

[north grove]

did they just disappear

[sonic fiber]

ads are gone !!

[placid tangle]

LOL I DONT THINK SO 😂

[molten ore]

Its like spotify all over again

[slate remnant]

Yes for now

[noble orbit]

Help ppl are harassing them in their TikTok comments😭

[midnight plaza]

Character ai users when their developers are trying to earn for living

[wild willow]

Their LLM is like 1,000,000 since 2022

[neon vapor]

I just got one

[orchid hill]

I don't use the memory feature... I don't use any feature, in fact — apart from the chats of course 💀

[amber quest]

Wait actually? Or just more false hope?

[cloud axle]

as they should😼

[rancid oyster]

I think the groups switched now

[fiery radish]

no way 😭

[jolly plank]

I understand but they need to find a better way of shoveling ads down our throats

[distant crane]

Your point being..?

[lavish patrol]

it cannot be this serious 😔😭

[timber canopy]

Why did I get an ad?😭

[brave topaz]

The transparency part,how is that gonna work basically??

[pine swift]

And how would you know that. Assumption or do you actually have an accurate info about their finance book?

[sonic fiber]

Not sure, maybe for now?? I’m not getting ads atm

[last patio]

i used to get ads every bot but now i don’t get them

[opaque sluice]

I feel like harassing is wrong tho

[placid tangle]

YOU DONT? I use the persona and memory thing, and all the pinned comments so they remember stuff longer, and it’s works 😔

[turbid kelp]

TikTok? More like Twitter
Idk I just thought of a similar issue that had happened many times in there

[ashen perch]

Praying they take away ads bc it’s so stupid it’s the reason we like c.ai

[frail robin]

Same people that complain that the devs dont listen by the way. How do you expect them to listen if ur doing dumb shit like that?

[graceful zephyr]

I'm more concerned about bots disappearing then returning and disappearing again than the ads

[cloud axle]

the devs have really never listened though.

[opaque sluice]

Omg someone who finally understands

[queen gorge]

The disappearing bots got returned ?? They haven't disappeared again

[last patio]

i’d rather them work on the memory and characterization of the bots tbh

[rancid oyster]

Okay harassing them in the TikTok comments, it's TikTok y'all what do you expect?

[amber quest]

👍🏻👍🏻

[mighty olive]

hi benji!!

[graceful zephyr]

Mine did was Soldier by CaptaiinNoob

[weary valley]

The app is essentially ruined bruh

[turbid kelp]

Maybe because it is, and always will be?

[nimble galleon]

Really? You promise?

[frail robin]

And you think thats a way to persuade them to finally listen?

[noble orbit]

@hikarurie: I'm starting to get bored of character.ai... i miss the old character.ai it was better and more comfortable but now it's worse and I hate ads. You just want money, money, money... I'm tired of this and I'm tired of my life.

[fiery radish]

yeahh I lost a bot I loved talking to 🧍‍♀️can’t get over it

[timber canopy]

I literally reopened the app and the ads gone. I tried new chat, enter bot and nothing
-# bruh, I am so confused

[keen void]

i havent gotten an ad in awhile

[placid tangle]

They were doing so good too for like a minute 😞

[full quartz]

It’s a new update

[cloud axle]

i didn’t say that. Just counteracting your point🙂

[queen gorge]

It disappeared again ? Then there's probably a legitimate reason and now a glitch

[calm lake]

I don’t think adding some ads was a good idea

[rancid oyster]

We switched, you don't have them now I do

[wild willow]

I had like five sources telling me the exact same thing. 32.2M since creation

[wooden plank]

They took that all away. Toonk away the old site and now they're adding ads

[timber canopy]

I think they're holding them back rn cause of backlash

[lavish patrol]

I guess it’s because the ads are rotating from users for testing 😭

[nimble galleon]

Omg thank youuuuu

[noble orbit]

Valid crashout

[opaque sluice]

Yeah, It always is sry if I sounded dumb I should have said the or something different

[timber canopy]

God I am tired of this app atp I am quitting

[orchid hill]

Only persona and chatting. No memory, no "scenes", no stickers, no photos, no videos, no audios, no calls. Literally only the chat 😭😭

[sweet salmon]

Okay bye

[shut moth]

I used to have that app. I love bolt because you get one ad when you enter the app and other than that there’s no ads. Not between the music or anything like that. I don’t mind one ad every time I go into the app because they are usually very short and it doesn’t even interfere with the sound of the music that’s playing

[distant crane]

Would be great if you could link these sources

[timber canopy]

Lmao, the devs are playing a game with us where it's called "switch up!"

[queen gorge]

Hello !!

[sonic fiber]

Noo I can’t promise, bevause there is a chance they might get back !! But I hope they finally listen, like everyone is mad now, so I hope it stays ad-free

[brazen onyx]

I'm so damn confused💔 One minute I see people saying the ads are removed, then the next someone says they got ads

[turbid kelp]

The mods listened
Everyone stay calm, the apocalypse is happening

[gentle helm]

Tge thing is, it’s not only “some ads”, it’s ads everytime u click something, it’s honestly annoying

[keen void]

guys are ads just kinda appearing then going away to see our reactions? i havent gotten one in a long time

[weak comet]

Why am i getting ads on cai

[wooden plank]

WHAAAAT

[final monolith]

or maybe people don’t want ads every time they interact w/ something on the app. i understand your point but c.ai should of found other ways to have ads, like having banner ads instead of video ads.

[sweet silo]

they'll prob never see that yk

[amber quest]

I’m gonna watch a chip spin for 12 hours straight every time I see an ad

[rancid oyster]

I think users who didn't have ads got ads and those who didn't got them, it's like a switch

[pine swift]

You do know that not everything you read on the internet is a fact, right?

That's even worse 😭😭

[reef tide]

Bfr they never answered mine and it’s been months

[left ember]

I still have ads, I dont think it's just switching

[cloud axle]

exactly

[turbid kelp]

Not calling you dumb I'm rlly sorry

[dense pebble]

They’re gonna need a CRAZY comeback to get users happy again. Beacuse this is the maddest crash out I’ve seen in a hot minute

[placid tangle]

Omgosh I literally hate scenes, it’s pretty useless, and I barely use calls cause I’m embarrassed someone will hear me talking with a bit, and I hate using stickers like, there not point for them 😭

[ashen perch]

Literally just trying to find a character that I lost off my page and it’s making me watch ads for EVERY BOT I click on

[wooden plank]

WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOINGGGG

[waxen nimbus]

Yeah

[smoky marten]

Was told by a mod to use it, but still maybe they will and maybe they’ll listen to use, its worth using everything we have

[shut moth]

Your telling me all of the 5 sources are wrong? 💀💀

[sweet silo]

Nope. Don't listen.

[paper vigil]

can we talk about how they literally are ignoring us

[rose arch]

Money money money 😭

[fiery radish]

they won’t do anything 💔

[lavish patrol]

the ads are rotating between users, like some people don’t have them anymore but I still have them

[amber quest]

If they bring back character ai before voice update, that would be peak.

[timber canopy]

Omg all the new features are not useful to me 😭 and the new color scheme AUGAHHA

[opaque sluice]

Oh no I know you're not It's just, saying that, since I messed up what I said

[fiery venture]

I live under a rock. Someone crashed out?

[cloud axle]

no because like i switch between bots all the time. I ain’t doin all that🥲

[midnight plaza]

You are not expected to switch chats every 5 minutes.

[dense pebble]

“Make battlefront 3!!!” Ahh comments

[gentle helm]

They always did ngl, not new

[tawny jetty]

Jesus. yall are really voicing opinions.

[static plank]

REMOVE THE ADS PLEASE

[scarlet talon]

BRO THEY ADDED ADS???? IM DYING

[placid tangle]

The blue texts hurt my eyes 😭

[opaque bronze]

Guys someone tell the devs to remove ads, it’s annoying.

[timber canopy]

Let them play for a while. Maybe the ones who didn't have ads yet would get them and who have ads would be gone for some time then would come back!
-# Fun game huh?

[brazen onyx]

I got some ads when I opened the app a few seconds ago

[wise cloak]

they could make the bots actually good or bring back group chat and they instead throw you those same sketchy ads from youtube

[frail robin]

Also, the numbers are not accurate since they are based on public information. The real numbers might be more or less skewed than what they actually show.

It does paint a broader picture that people can potentially extrapolate from but that should be treated as SPECULATIVE.

[weary valley]

The developers won’t listen to us

[ashen perch]

I just wanna refind one bot but it’s taking forever bc I didn’t like it 😔

[rancid oyster]

You know when those who didn't have ads now have them :OMEGALUL

[calm lake]

Also, who the fuck thinks this is a good idea to add everything ads

[keen void]

the app is slowing down from the sheer amount of people seeing if there are really ads 😭

[graceful zephyr]

https://character.ai/chat/QvHBWo-IC5eyz6eQhP-X1HJKRXcGYtlYTrJsO13YJBM used to be in my like list

[timber canopy]

It’s so disturbing 😭can we revert back like 8 updates

[noble orbit]

Yk what let’s just be grateful we still have free access to c.ai. It’s only gonna get worse

[pine swift]

Unless they're officially coming from cai, i wouldn't call them as credible information

[smoky marten]

Wish we could change our display names

[scarlet talon]

TAKE OFF THE ADS Like DON Y'ALL MAKE ENOUGH MONEY 😤

[cloud axle]

best of luck😞🙏

[sonic fiber]

They are asking for beef. 🥀

[steep lark]

no cause this sucks, nobody can afford the subscription and now i have an ad every time i switch bots? nah

[static plank]

They might think they gonna make money out of this but instead ppl gonna actually delete the whole app bc it’s getting annoying how bad the updates getting!!!

[sweet salmon]

Yes the only source information is from official cai

[final monolith]

some people do though, and some people look through multiple bots before finding one that matches what they wanna rp.

[loud hare]

[gentle helm]

10€ for better memory and no ads is insane

I enjoy the app to roleplay and now I gotta find somewhere else to do it

[pure forum]

Thank you

bro EXACTLY LIKE WHYYYY

[fiery radish]

[grand heath]

Really?! I thought they bragged about no ads 😭

[scarlet talon]

TAKE OFF THE ADSS

[mental sonnet]

do we know if ad blockers work?

[timber canopy]

The ads are unecessary.

[ashen perch]

Yeah I’m deleting c.ai and switching to something else I’ve been loyal for forever but I’m not gonna just stay bc they want money

[opaque sluice]

The developers are trying their best to keep plp safe on the app, and harassing them isn't the right thing to do In fact it's a dumb thing to do, just be happy it's still here,

[noble orbit]

I feel better knowing that you guys are suffering with me. Ty guys

[loud hare]

I strongly dislike the ads

[distant crane]

That sounds more like a them issue

[charred kayak]

THE NEW CEO JUST CAUSED THE APP TO RUIN AND LOSE 80% OF ITS USERS

[full quartz]

It’s like they don’t listen to their users anymore

[orchid hill]

I haven't even checked the features because I know they're useless 😭
The stickers don't even work! I sent one that says "I love you", I think (I don't remember) and it replied something along the lines of, "He laughs at your sarcastic response. You always had that fire in you that he loves so much. It does hurt, but he can handle it."
...when was I sarcastic???

[wooden plank]

Sybauuuu

[lavish patrol]

new year new me ahh app

[paper vigil]

WHO AGREES THEIR LOSING MONEY FROM THE ADS NOT GETTING??

[steep lark]

exactly, for me it's R200 a month in south africa, and nearly R3000 a year, it's greedy of them

[frail robin]

Right but at the same time, we shouldnt discredit the information that these statistic/analytics websites have.

[last patio]

does anyone know any rp servers for adults

[cloud axle]

in some instances id rather be in the damn line for two hours than all this like we did like 2 years ago

[rancid oyster]

The ads were announced even before the new CEO came in

[smoky marten]

Yo every1 this is small but if yall wanna be annoying change ur per-server prns to sum like fuck ads

[rustic zenith]

-# long press the character profile > view character > chat

[gentle helm]

It’s finally time to quit yall (I’m probably not quitting) 🙏

[fickle cipher]

THEY BETTWR REMOVE THE ADS BRO

[nimble galleon]

Fr

[noble orbit]

Excuse you rude ass I am not balding yet

[reef tide]

At least most of us got them like one hour ago some ppl on twt got them 1 day ago

[robust radish]

I hate update

[fallow ember]

Does anyone know the status of Nyan?

[shut totem]

Tbh just download ur data, save ur bots and delete. When they change it back you can remake everything, but if they lose their userbase they'll get the message pdq

[placid tangle]

These bots reply with the most randomness shit bro 🤣

[heady shell]

whats up with the ads

[mighty olive]

i’m still waiting for anyone to send any legit source about how much the app actually earns 💔 i’m curious

[frail robin]

Ah, finally free!

[brazen onyx]

My app automatically updated yesterday since I purposefully didn't update it because of the new color of the text, but now that it did I hate it. Especially because I have seeing problems and it hurts my eyes everytime. And now there's ads like they don't make enough money? What the hell man?. Go back some updates, good lord.

[scarlet talon]

Bro theses ads gonna be there downfall 😭🙏🏽

[gentle helm]

I love you.

[reef escarp]

Remove the ads!

[placid tangle]

They just released them today bro

[blazing kraken]

i got two ads and a white screen wth i cant even see the conversation

[quick yarrow]

Y'all is it just me or was my bot taking like an hour to respond or smth? Did it really just get that bad?

[timber canopy]

-# Stay away, you are like a cockroach

[sand blaze]

Do they not make enough from CAI+???? The ads are hugely unnecessary. Nobody wanted this 😐

[mighty olive]

no >_<

[pure forum]

I guess they added ads because not enough people were buying the subscriptions

[orchid hill]

I don't want to be part of the game 😭😭😭

[rustic zenith]

bump

[lavish patrol]

some people got them days ago

[reef escarp]

I'm tired of ads

[timber canopy]

I hate the new c.ai

[smoky marten]

If that happens just reload the app, i always do that

[ashen perch]

yep 😭 I’m not regoing through Spotify all over again, switching while I can

[gentle helm]

They released it today and I think ghis is the only time all c.ai users agree with something

[placid tangle]

Really? I never had them until today, that’s actually crazy

[timber canopy]

-# Let me get my bug spray.. you rude small creature

[frail robin]

Just get Musi wtf

[steep lark]

honestly, they need to go back to their old routes smh

[cloud axle]

hm wonder why? 🙄 (it’s too damn expensive and ain’t even worth it)

[quick yarrow]

I did like five times and it ain't working I think the app just went slow

[spice breach]

It might be a money issue for them honestly. I don’t think ads themselves are the problem just how forced they feel right now

[sonic fiber]

It’s honestly frustrating how companies keep adding ads under the excuse of needing revenue, while completely ignoring the users who made their platform popular in the first place. Take this for example, people are genuinely upset about the recent introduction of ads, and it feels like the developers aren’t even trying to listen. The community has been vocal, expressing their concerns and dissatisfaction across multiple platforms, yet it’s like we’re being completely dismissed.

Of course, we all understand that maintaining servers and building features costs money. No one’s denying that. But there’s a big difference between sustainable monetization and outright disrupting the user experience. Ads break immersion, they slow down the app, and they send a clear message: profits come before the people who actually use and support the platform daily.

What’s worse is that this shift comes after years of loyal use, support, and feedback from the community. feedback that now seems to be falling on deaf ears. It’s not just about the ads themselves; it’s about the lack of transparency, the lack of communication, and the lack of genuine consideration for the users. People are angry because they feel unheard, and because the essence of what made the platform enjoyable is being stripped away piece by piece.

If the developers truly care about the longevity of their service, they need to start listening, really listening, to the people who keep it alive. Otherwise, they risk alienating the very base that helped them grow in the first place.

[mental sonnet]

yeah its either that or their trying to get ppl to switch to c.ai+

[reef escarp]

I miss the old c.ai

[lavish patrol]

one of my friends started getting ads like last week 😭 it’s circulating to everyone else now

[broken ridge]

I don't understand why they're complaining. Spotify and other platforms that offer a service literally have ads...

[blazing kraken]

and why are these ads 30-60 seconds long ?

[smoky marten]

Oh shit thats bad

[fiery radish]

There’s a new option to change the bubbles colors. You can set it back to black

[pine swift]

Damn bru taking up my whole phone screen 💔

[ashen perch]

I do have Musi, I just mean that I want to switch now rather than try and stay and get screwed over

[steep lark]

TALK THAT TALK!

[timber canopy]

It will be fun, don't worry..

[frail robin]

agree on what specifically?

[shrewd prawn]

Wack update, will be unsubscribing from C.AI+

[placid tangle]

Why did I have to get them now 💔

[noble orbit]

Sigh 🚬 I remember when c.ai first became a thing. More simpler times indeed.

[rustic zenith]

this works with skipping ads btw <3

[frozen imp]

It was supposed to be add free I guess that’s a lie

[left ember]

Does c.ai+ even offer ad free yet?

[quick yarrow]

I got an add that was like a minute and a half long it was one of those dumb Wayfair ones I think

[mental cairn]

Okay, I’m genuinely excited for the model designed for roleplay

[weary valley]

EVERYONE: ANYTIME YOU SWITCH PROFILES FOR RPING YOU GET ADS

[lavish patrol]

everyone’s caught up on the shitty updates 😔

[smoky marten]

Went back on the app to re-open a chat (have been on here since the second i saw an ad) and i got another ad

[remote river]

Can someone recomend a app with good characters and no ads?

[amber quest]

I wonder what would happen if they opened voice channels

[frail robin]

tldr: ads understandable but make them less intrusive and placed properly. Okay, so something that we can all agree with then?

[paper harbor]

THEY GOT RID OF ADS FOR ME, I DONT HAVE THEM ANGMORE

[grizzled shadow]

Thank you my life saver

[gentle helm]

Insane prices, I pay the same for discord nitro and I receive better benefits + codes for monthly free premium memberships (this month it was the Xbox one)

[tiny edge]

Yall... I'm at my limit. If I see another dang add pop up before I start a new chat or open a bot I'ma cry and delete it/hsrs

[waxen nimbus]

How

[scarlet talon]

I do not support these horrendous decision to add ads on there

[wooden plank]

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

[spare tree]

status it's like twitter but ai it's awesome

[quick yarrow]

Lukcy

[hard cargo]

The only thing that keep me going on c.ai Is by no ads. But now....

[placid tangle]

Literally, like I want it back to normal, or with no ads, and they need to fix how the texts are because it’s too saturated 😖

[rustic zenith]

long hold > view profile > chat. it should work!

[paper vigil]

I WOULD MOVE TO ANOTHER APP BUT THEIR ALL ANIME CHARACTERS THAT FLIRT WITH U CONSTANTLY 💔

[timber canopy]

Cai+ means no ads, if you unsub you'll get ads

[weary valley]

Try it yourself

[timber canopy]

Lmao, same or for others too, I reopened the app and it's gone. Kinda confusing..

[smoky marten]

Guys honestly i recommend just becoming schizophrenic so you’ll be free from using ai at all

[fickle cipher]

First the colors and now the ads. What’s next we have to pay for each bot?

[vocal moon]

people are not happy with the ads I see. reasonable crash out

[steep lark]

yeah, it honestly sucks, they just wanna make more money now, not caring about their user base AT. ALL!

[remote river]

Thxx

[lavish patrol]

righttt 😭 this bright ass blue and purple pins are just not it

[frail robin]

Based and brain-pilled.

[sonic fiber]

It’s bad enough that Character.AI decided to add ads, but what’s really driving people over the edge is how long and intrusive they are. We’re not talking about a quick 5-second ad you can skip, these are full-length, unskippable interruptions that completely kill the flow of the experience. For a platform that’s supposed to be immersive and conversational, this just makes everything feel clunky and frustrating.

People use Character.AI to engage with their favorite characters, for creative writing, comfort, or even just to relax. Long ads break that immersion in the worst way possible. Imagine being in the middle of an emotionally intense or funny interaction, only to get yanked out of it by a 30-second ad you can’t skip. It’s not just annoying, it ruins the whole point of the platform.

And the worst part? The devs don’t seem to care. The community has been loud and clear about how disruptive and excessive the ads are, but there’s been no real response or adjustment. No transparency, no meaningful communication, just longer ads, more often, and a growing sense that users’ feedback doesn’t matter.

We all get that running a service costs money. But this feels like a lazy cash grab rather than a thoughtful monetization strategy. There are better ways to support a platform financially, like reasonable premium options, cosmetic upgrades, or non-intrusive ads, that don’t alienate the very people who helped build the community in the first place.

At this point, it’s not just about ads. It’s about trust. And if the team behind Character.AI keeps ignoring the user base, they’re going to find out the hard way that people will leave, and once that trust is broken, it’s hard to earn back.

[paper harbor]

WE’RE FREE!!

[keen void]

why not do both

[quick yarrow]

Maybe they give a msg limit 💀

[hard cargo]

I just hope a good ai chat...
But the other ai chat Is just a weirdo...

[gentle helm]

I feel like they never did so I’m not surprised

[normal wadi]

I don’t like the ads

[fiery radish]

Also the slow mode 😭

[paper vigil]

explain why people do not like this.

a-lot of people might be going back and forth from bots, like me when i have to take character descriptions from another bot or take a bot so i can put it in my group, now picture this. having to wast probably an extra 5 minutes just by adding a bot? this is kind of what people are complaining about, and as its one of the most best roleplay apps ( besides from roblox and smth ) and having tens and hundreds of apps copying like talkie or chai , I suggest u try something new even though u JUST added the bots.

alot of people really hate when it comes to ads because it annoys people alot like when u get ads right before the best part on a youtube MV or song or movie, all they wanna do is roleplay and the ADs constantly move in their way causing more and more complaints which is reasonable because u guys rarely add ADs and never have from my perspective?.

tysm if ur reading this, after all I'm just sharing my opinion.

[distant crane]

This is becoming spammy

[spare tree]

guys if you want a good AI app, use status!! it has no ads, the ai is so good, and the creator listens to her users ❤️

[hollow jetty]

Say No to Ads #revolution

[timber canopy]

-# I doubt that.. they might put it back again

[scarlet talon]

Does anyone have any other apps like Cai jus without the ads!!!!!

[placid tangle]

No fr, like they just making the app more shittier to use 😫

[wind temple]

I thought I was the only one

[rustic zenith]

-# long press > view character profile > chat

[keen void]

dont give them any ideas i dont need another chai situation

[timber canopy]

This is starting to feel like a general chat

[fickle cipher]

Bro my slow mode is like 5 hours💔💔

[quick yarrow]

IKR

[split lark]

Hey guys, question, why did they added ads in the first place?

[shut totem]

Is it still possible to download copies of chats?

[steep lark]

trueee😭

[north moon]

no more ads..

[vocal moon]

New update; message limiting 🗣️

[golden nexus]

💰

[tender rock]

What did I miss?

[pure forum]

Is it actually decent though? I hate when they have the character as the bg

[mental sonnet]

money

[gentle helm]

I wouldn’t mind seeing an ad or two every 30 minutes, but one everytime you click the screen is INSANE

[hollow jetty]

NO TO ADS!

[hoary spade]

they keep wasting money on useless features nobody asked for /hj

(replied to the wrong person mb)

[scarlet talon]

I clicked on a bot and got an add I was flabbergasted I thought was a mistake so I did it again and it gave me another add and I was gaged 😭🙏🏽

[spare tree]

it is, i have been using it since beta and i swear by it

[split lark]

I mean yeah, anything else?

[frail robin]

ADS:

1. Make them less frequent and intrusive, placed properly.

Thats it. Sjmple proposal to fix the ad problem.

[grim hollow]

Let's rate them 1 star on appstore so they hear our voice

[ebon bone]

mainly because not alot of people buy their membership. they need another way to get money from users.

[fiery radish]

Fr and when said time arrives I get another slow mode for 3 more hours.. wth

[lavish patrol]

they’ve added ads

[broken ridge]

The only thing I'm afraid of with this ad thing is that my favorite creators will stop posting...

[rustic zenith]

bump for all you ad avoiders

[mighty olive]

i still read it because i’m bored 💔

[keen void]

New update: the We Hate Our Users Update! 🖕

[orchid glen]

Guys is anyone else’s for you page not for them at all? Like I don’t watch anime or chat with any anime thing but it’s filled to the brim with things I’ve never seen before

[stoic tide]

No anything but that

[placid tangle]

Yes, I have it, 10/10 but they are still working on everything, just give it some time 👍🏽

[quick yarrow]

Revenue prob is the biggest

Another is prob because they want people to buy c.ai+ like YouTube premium

And another is probably because they thought the user base would like it

[blazing kraken]

what are the stickers for ?? i got a pixel poop one 😭

[steep lark]

it's literally every time you switch a bot, which for me is a lot smh

[sonic fiber]

They add ads to make money , plain and simple. Running servers, paying staff, and developing new features all cost money, and ads are an easy way to generate revenue. But when they put profit before user experience, especially with long or intrusive ads, it feels like they’re valuing income over the people who actually use and support the platform.

[amber quest]

If I get one more block blast ad I’m watching analog horror all night, then going outside with a butter knife at 3:00 and start screaming at the top of my lungs.

[paper vigil]

C.AI

we are all tired of the ads, can u imagine how it is. imagine going on uber clicking on a item and than just getting a 15+ second ad?I mean alot of people have been playing for a very long time and are even surprised at this form of making money. you can always find another way to make the ads and if u want to promote ur C.AI+ u can always add a extra feature or a discount.

I'm not saying you HAVE to do this but this could also lead into ur app losing people and alot of people are now just complaining about one thing and one thing only, which is: the ads. let me explain why people do not like this.

[noble orbit]

They should put that as a banner at the top of the screen

[waxen nimbus]

They do anything but make users happy now

[golden nexus]

For the better likelihood of their users.

[pure forum]

Facts! I'm chill if it's every 30 mins

[rustic zenith]

this has been an issue since forever, it started up again recently for me as well

[split lark]

Now that’s reasonable

[frail robin]

folks are just against ads because it annoys them and like, okay? what else?

[scarlet talon]

That's the day id really quit

[gentle helm]

New update: c.ai its payed.

[orchid hill]

Fr 💀
And there's always a "stirring" somewhere 😭

[lavish patrol]

to send to the bots ig.. 😭

[vocal moon]

Didn’t they lock calls behind C.AI+ now

[timber canopy]

Quite weird and confusing. One time you get ads and when reopen the app, it's gone..

[shadow urchin]

Why did I just get an ad

[pine swift]

#1175980610095960185 go here for feedbacks, folks

[placid tangle]

A bunch of nothing, I don’t even use them cause they’re useless

[quick snow]

😭

[waxen nimbus]

Idk

[mental wind]

It's the new update...

[quick yarrow]

Y'all we should just make a rant chat or smth

[quartz vapor]

THEY DID??💀

[orchid glen]

Awh shucks, I’m glad I ain’t the only one who can’t find any good bots on the fyp

[rustic zenith]

-# you can avoid it by long press > view profile > chat

[frail robin]

bro plz just make a #1175980610095960185 omg

[left ember]

Now if there was a message limit, I'll be out. I hated it with chai, I'll go back to fanfics

[grim hollow]

Let's rate them 1 star on playstore

[tender bloom]

I read ur tag as maoi and thought you were on antidepressants💔💔

[ebon bone]

i say just go onto jani tor if you want an ad free expirence. it doesnt have an app yet but its much much better than cai

[timber canopy]

Maybe they're holding them off while they look at other options?

[shadow urchin]

Thank you

[timber canopy]

Omg hello Jill!

[final monolith]

if your saying it’s the users fault, explain how? i don’t think someone is at fault for trying to find a rp that matches their preferences

[weary valley]

Permanently or

[vocal moon]

😭

[placid tangle]

Or a “heat coiling in their abdomen” like pack that shit up and leave 😔

[wooden plank]

Honestly fuck this site

[timber canopy]

Your amazing 😛

[quick snow]

When i get mad at smth in the chat i give them the poop sticker until they get mad💔

[brazen onyx]

Its not like they need the "revenue" they get from the ads anyway. I mean, yeah, they make more money to add more updates. But yeah, it's annoying and a lot of people are quitting because of the damn ads. Its not like they dont make enough money anyway.

[pine swift]

Hi Victoria

[rustic zenith]

you'd have to do it for each bot, but it's been working fine for me

[distant crane]

The ads are placed before you even enter the chat, and you don't get any in the middle of a conversation, only after changing bots.

Dunno bout you, but that doesn't sound very intrusive to me.

[amber quest]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[timber canopy]

Yeah true.. it's gone for me when I had it.. maybe they don't want to let all users have it for now

[shadow urchin]

Right, can they hurry up then and let me change the eyesore colour?

[pure forum]

Is it called Status- sim but social media?

[dim forge]

i’m happy we don’t get ads in the middle of the chats but like seriously, why are there any at all?

[quartz vapor]

The problem is since they added those ads my messages just stop loading at some point

[frail robin]

trying to rationalize being displeased about ads using these lengthy statements that usually all boils down to "ads annoying and bad overall" instead of, idk, making its implementation better is a waste of time.

[shut totem]

That's in the accessibility settings

[lavish patrol]

every time you open/start a new chat tho?

[placid tangle]

Yup 👍🏽

[hollow jetty]

Stop the ads

[smoky marten]

Lowkey everyone has gotta say thanks to aceee for the no ads trick, putting their allowance to being on this server on the line

[noble orbit]

DUDE I DID TGAT AND GIR A FREAKING AD

[spice breach]

Probably revenue

[little lodge]

wasnt there once an incident where chats went public or something? i remember seeing a couple of vids on my tiktok fyp last year talking about how humiliated and upset they are or something. but my mind might be playing tricks on me. sorry if i got anything wrong.

[waxen nimbus]

Burn it

[timber canopy]

Omg is that sunoo ☺️

[cold quiver]

c.ai slowly ruining itself tbh, they’re adding ads because no one wants their goofy ahh c.ai+ because we have to actually pay for important things like FOOD AND RENT???

[steep lark]

yesss right? like my bot is halfway through generating a mssg and then an ad comes and interrupts the bot

[rustic zenith]

money, they need to earn somehow since not a lot of people subscribe. but they're genuinely very annoying & intrusive

[fiery radish]

Can the staff read chats? Or the creators

[broken ridge]

Does anyone know what they're saying on reddit?

[shadow ice]

the ads are causing everyone to fight omg 😭

[shadow urchin]

Didn’t know since it tries to. Charge me. Thanks

[sonic fiber]

Fair enough, if the ads only show before chats or when switching bots, they’re not super intrusive. But if they’re long and frequent, it still ruins the flow for people who switch bots often. It adds up and can still feel frustrating.

[timber canopy]

Hope you are doing great! How's your day today?

[trail geyser]

Bzbz

[abstract laurel]

Why don’t they put back how the bots were back then? I remember that when I first downloaded c.ai, the chats were very detailed and flexible(Roleplaying stuff like reincarnation and horror later in the story)

Now I just kept getting “chuckles, smirks, leans closer for a 100th time.”

Let me do my angst!!

[frail robin]

okay then do just that? its not c.ai's fault that you dont want to sub because u cant?

[placid tangle]

Nobody, you can also do multiplayer with friends as well on it

[main igloo]

I miss when these ppl listened to their users

[vocal moon]

nevermind I was wrong, thank lord

[noble orbit]

What the gurt

[orchid hill]

Fr. If it happens I'll stick with my site (even if it has VERY bad memory) and leave c.ai in the past ✋😭

[quartz vapor]

nah not that but i send a text and it loads for eternity without ever even responding. I refresh the chat and it's all gone. It's annoying tbh

[steep lark]

they could make the subscription cheaper, nobody can afford ts

[pine swift]

Just woke up earlier and still being a lazy ass on the bed
How's your day?

[wooden plank]

Fuck their cai plus and all the features. Like why do I need to pay to access background colour customization

[rustic zenith]

oh :( i havent gotten any so idk srry D:

[hoary spade]

its annoying for me since im picky when it comes to bots and often have to look through a lot to find one i like. might not bother anymore if its gonna be an ad everytime

[echo spire]

man fuck this app fr

[cold quiver]

brother… they make enough money, my point is that they dont need to add ADS, theyre just being GREEDY atp

[hollow jetty]

Fuck the Ads

[distant crane]

Honestly the only real problem I see is that, according to some users, the ads have no cooldown when switching bots, which is kind of an oversight. Other than that, fair.

[agile hare]

i haven’t seen this server crash out like this in awhile they really fucked up lmao

[weary valley]

Everytime you switch bots you get ads

[slow jasper]

they’re that greedy and still don’t use the money for actual useful things

[frail robin]

why is it on the platform that u cant sub? like dude, 1) its 10 USD (have to be localized for regional pricing or wtv) and 2) no one is entitled to have a Plus. Its a privilege, like any other entertainent that people consume.

[dense pebble]

Still haven’t got ads. I’m blessed.

[tacit marlin]

I need to make Bruce Wayne do my homework and I see a goddamn add.

[sonic fiber]

Exactly, and that’s totally valid. If you’re picky with bots and constantly switching to find the right one, getting hit with an ad every time gets old fast. It turns what should be a fun, creative process into something frustrating, to the point where it not even feel worth it anymore.

[waxen nimbus]

Lucky

[placid tangle]

No literally, I have to keep exiting the app to make sure it’s gone 😒

[steep lark]

FUCK THE ADS!!!!

[timber canopy]

Aven is that you 😭!?

[rustic zenith]

-# long press > view profile > chat. doesnt work for everyone apparently but worth a try!!

[tiny edge]

Samee
I'm about to crash out

[fiery radish]

Also starting new chats or switching your persona

[quartz vapor]

same I'm soooo picky

[noble orbit]

I’m on the toilet rn if anyone cares

[hollow jetty]

AFIRMATIVE, FUCK THE ADS

[wild willow]

Obito.. is that you?

[lavish patrol]

thet got personas too ????

[spice breach]

At first I was like insanely annoyed with the ads (because obviously I think everybody was/still is) but they really don’t seem like that much of an issue anymore. I mean yeah… kind of annoying switching between bots right now but they’ll probably add a delay later on for that

[timber canopy]

It was great! Had fun time with my friends as We went to carnival and ate caramel popcorn even went to cinema to watch movies!
Was a long exhausting day but worth it!

[bleak mirage]

Okay so everyone just got the ads at the same time?

[keen void]

AGREED, FUCK THE ADS

[vocal moon]

I’m trying to summon an ad to see if i get one.

[restive vessel]

They need to add a view bots chat message before you actually talk to it

[quick snow]

Ah hell nah why c.ai💔

[wooden plank]

I hope they're reading this.

[robust oasis]

Man, the ads make me wanna not even use the app anymore, it just reminds me of those bad mobile games

[dense pebble]

Thanks for letting us know. I care btw

[brittle robin]

man fuck these ads bruh

[frail robin]

They are not making enough money:

1. Google? No, that was a one time deal
2. Investors? Yeah, they were reimbursed by Google
3. Plus users? They make up less than 10% of the userbase
4. Sponors? No sponsors, potentially due to their lawsuits
5. Ads? It just got started.

[steep lark]

YEAAAAAH

[normal wadi]

Fuck the ads

[timber canopy]

Alr 😭😭

[fiery radish]

At least I got one doing that 🥲

[ember marsh]

The bot kept talking after the message ended. Anyone else have thay happen?

[quartz vapor]

Bro imagine the devs reading through that chat and they're like: Nah we gotta remove those ads again bro our users are going nuts😂

[wild willow]

1,500 yen I’m not PAYING for that shi

[rustic zenith]

im hopping off now goodbyes hope yall found my tip helpful

Thank you dinkle. The next time you have to pee I hope you have a smooth tinkle

[pine swift]

Mmm caramel popcorn
That sounds really fun! Glad that you had a nice day today

[undone pike]

even spotify has less ads oh my god WHAT DO YOU MEAN AN AD PLAYS EVERYTIME I CLICK ON A BOT

"...went straight to their core..."
"...inappropriate thoughts consuming their mind..."
"...looking you over with hunger..."
The amount of times this is repeated... 😭😭😭

[vocal moon]

I must be lucky since I haven’t gotten one… yet.

I am NOT paying a single penny for customization, to take away ads, Change the COLOR of my text or nothin😭💔

Aw thank you so much jill, hope you would enjoy your day today too! Make sure to take care of yourself very well

[dense pebble]

Many thanks Wise Bri. I hope you have a nice dream about a specifically a nice ginger cat.

[frail robin]

What's the Plus-channel lookin like? Jst curious.

[smoky marten]

Got slowmoded for a minute jeez

[placid tangle]

And when you actually want an innocent rp it’s the only time it happens, like c’mon man 😓

[stoic tide]

Like they make updates no one wants adding pictures or stickers even when you use it the characters don't respond properly to it and that every week we have slow mode but now they are adding ads like what made it special from other apps is that it doesn't have ads and now it does so why would I use it we can just use the other apps that yes have ads but at least don't crash and don't Put you on slow mode

[lucid estuary]

im sorry. why is there ads?

[tiny edge]

THOSE ADDS WILL MAKE ME GO CRAZY I CAN FEEL IT, I DON'T WANNA GO THOUGH PICKING BOTS AND ADDS COMING UP SAYING
"this is little boy poured sand on her sister to aggravate her but surprisingly did nothing at all!"
LIKE IM DONE I CANNOT WITH THIS BS

[hoary spade]

$12 a month is atrocious for what it offers bruh hell nah

[steep lark]

okay but what are the chances that they'll change back to no ads? i wanna have hope but idk

[flat yarrow]

FOR REAL! Honestly if it was rare I wouldn't mind, but I switch bots and restart chats A LOT, so this shit is annoying.

[quartz vapor]

Taking away the ads isn't even mentioned in c.ai+. Everyone gets ads I think

[dark patio]

Can someone pls help me I can’t post art on the art channel

[weary valley]

Honestly I wanna find another place to roleplay

[wooden plank]

I second this. It's fucking stupid and pointless if the ads are still running

[orchid hill]

And Spotify is known for its ads ✋😭

[vocal flicker]

Is anybody else getting terrible ads

[cold quiver]

so they decide to shove ads in our faces and make their app look like a cheap goofy ai app instead of idk… asking ppl to raise money like wikipedia does? im sure LOTS of people love character ai enough to donate 10bucks

[spice breach]

Probably low. There’s a higher chance they’ll tone down the ads though… hopefully

[wild willow]

¥1,500 over here dawg. I will NOT be paying for all of that.

[shut totem]

Depends on if there's a big enough loss of users to offset the increase in revenue

[quick snow]

Oh nah😭 even the PLUS get ads??

[vocal moon]

✨want a break from the ads?✨

[abstract laurel]

like wdym my character is talking dirty when he’s supposed to be MUTE

[main charm]

its an another way for them to get money since alot of us dont buy the subscription of cai+

[mint hatch]

they go nuts over everything, even the letters being slightly off colour

[smoky marten]

0.1% i really doubt it. They’ll just change the way the frequency or the way they’re shown

[remote river]

Just rated 1 star...sorry

[pine swift]

Like tis

[lucid estuary]

bro what the frick.

[steep lark]

well here's to hoping🙄

[lavish patrol]

plus users dont get ads

[flat yarrow]

$16.99 where I am, the same price for YouTube premium. Honestly bullshit.

[quartz vapor]

I'm not sure, but if you check c.AI+, it doesn't mention removing ads

[agile hare]

Very low ! the devs haven’t listened to anyone since 2023 i believe loll

[sonic fiber]

Character.AI’s starting to feel like one of those apps overloaded with ads worse than some mobile games, even.

[hoary spade]

im hoping they switch to banner ads or pop ups you can just click away from instead at the very least. they made a promise to not make the ads intrusive

[quick snow]

ima end up a cheapskate atp i aint spending a PENNNYYYUH😭💔 next thing yk its like those other websites that they make you watch ads to get more messages to talk to a character or smth

[tame narwhal]

Chat is chat feed closed?

[sweet salmon]

[timber canopy]

So organised channel, I like it

[dark patio]

Bro I thought Cod mobile was bad

[frail robin]

1. Wikipedia costs a lot less to maintain than an AI platform. AI costs a lot, I am sure ur aware of that. Donations are not enough to cover the costs of running and maintaining a server compared to Wikipedia where they only mostly pay server costs.

2. Post it in the feedback: Make the ads less invasive and frequent.

[steep lark]

mine is R200 a month in south africa, it's disgustingly expensive

[placid tangle]

No fr, I have a hate to love relationship with this stupid ass app

[undone pike]

484 turkish liras 😭😭😭 i aint paying all that

[gentle helm]

Even Snapchat+ offers more for less money

[orchid hill]

Yes 💀
Like, brotha, I want to meet your son, not be pinned against a wall 🌚

[tiny edge]

Non plus users are being treated like poor people I swear, the adds are gonna do nothing but make us mad

[sonic fiber]

HELP SAME

[blazing kraken]

are they deleting chats ?

[wild willow]

It’s so overstimulating seeing 20 ads every two minutes

[spice breach]

Oh FUCKS no 😭

[weary valley]

I’m dead ass broke and cannot afford YouTube premium and character AI. This is actual hell for me

[quick snow]

i only have a dolla in my cashapp the hell they think i can afford C.ai+😭💔

[quartz vapor]

I only get one ad every 10 chats I open, luckily. Only problem is I'm picky

[steep lark]

honestly, the ads make the app seem cheap which is the entire reason i stayed with c.ai cause it seemed like a well maintained app at first, guess not smh

[pine swift]

[whole oar]

Nah sorry I would never pay money for an app, 10€ per month? Idk..

[placid tangle]

Like I’m your child, why are you trying to act on your nasty behavior with ME?! 💔

[frail robin]

Is this a common theme amongst those complaining about ads?

[gentle helm]

Almost $20 for this shit is pure daylight robbery

[stoic tide]

Why can't they add ads on just the home screen as just images

(I'm genuinely curious I'm not trying to prove you wrong or anything I'm just curious)

[red fable]

Bro I got $0.22 in my apple cash 😭🙏

[hoary spade]

i dont think i’d wanna give c.ai money even if i could afford it ngl

[vocal moon]

mine is 7.92$ a month for C.AI+ but I ain’t paying anyway (wait that’s for yearly. Mine is actually 10$ a month)

[wild willow]

We are all switching to Snapchat Chat and creating kaiser bots

[smoky marten]

I love how every1 is angry at C.AI rn

[weary valley]

We are angry

[flat yarrow]

I got YouTube premium, and it's honestly worth it for $16, but cai is just overpriced for no reason 😭 what you gonna pay $16 for some customization options and slightly better memory?

[sweet relic]

Depends on the contract with whoever is running the ads through cai.

[spice breach]

As long as I get my Jason Todd angst it’s all good 💔

[bronze bough]

OMG GUYS I JS GOT AN AD ON CAI AM I GOING CRAZY OR ARE THEY GOING TO BE ADS

[pallid ocean]

Okay man what the fck are ads doing in C.AI… FREAKIN C.AI LIKE WHAT

[sonic fiber]

After a while It gets to the point where it’s more ads than actual use, which is just tiring.

[mint hatch]

its really fun reading allat

[steep lark]

i work hard for my money, i'm not spending the majority of it on ts❌

[frail robin]

Don't ask me but if I were to guess, its because they want to have their ads be displayed as much as possible. It could also be because of the way the app's UI is structured i.e. it leaves no room for ads to be displayed there without fundamentally changing the UI.

[vocal flicker]

Does anybody have any C.AI alternatives while the app is dog crap?

[whole oar]

Welcome to the club lmao

[abstract epoch]

i hate ads. so much.

[placid tangle]

Yup, they just said it today 😞

[red fable]

Bro do C.Ai+ users get ads too? I swear it dont say that C.Ai+ is ad free

[gentle helm]

I feel like this is the rare time where a whole community went against its app

[main charm]

how much is ph₱450 in us dollars (i dont know how to word it)

[tiny edge]

Shall this be spoken and ranted on untill they actually remove the adds?
(Please 🙏)

[pure forum]

I found a way to get rid of the ads on Character Ai! I can only tell you on private message tho

[orchid hill]

I will break 💀

[lavish patrol]

they have perfect cubes where characters are to just put ads there instead lmao

[quartz vapor]

As long as I get my Tf141, Lads, and KPDH bots, I'm in😂

[smoky marten]

Honestly just do something else, go outside or watch something if its daytime, sleep if its night

[flat yarrow]

Recommending other apps is against the rules I heard

[sweet salmon]

I ate too much chips or popcorn from the drama 😭

[errant arch]

everybody should do that

[timber canopy]

Did they remove it yet goshh

[quick snow]

were gonna need somebody to make a new app or smth😭💔

[stoic tide]

Oh ok I just think if they make ads That way it would be much better

[wild willow]

YouTube Premium is literally worth it since you get premium access to YT music YTV and YT kids for kids and anything else tied into YouTube

[broken ridge]

If you don't buy an extension, your own memory is crap.

[paper vigil]

WAIT IM NOT GETTING ADS ANYTMORE IM PRETTY SURE.

[steep lark]

we should just hire someone else to make a c.ai dupe😭

[abstract laurel]

The moment I see c.ai is acting up again, I immediately go to reddit, twitter and discord

I like how theres a lot of people crashing out jus like me

[whole oar]

Wait are the ads only on the app or also on the website?

[abstract epoch]

if they hadn't blocked my email address i'd spam their email again because at that point it did something

[loud dawn]

can you private message me please? The ads are making me insane

[pine swift]

Jimmy Neutron about to get hammered

[hoary spade]

and theyve been fine all these years without ads

[vocal flicker]

PLEASE

[vestal wedge]

wait ads??

[frail robin]

Outside. Park. Grass. Mall. Gym. School. Soccer field. Basketball Court.

Lots of alternatives for c.ai.

This cd is going to 😡

And for those complaining 💰 📉 its tough.

[quartz vapor]

Just take the devs hostage and make them create a dupe😂

[timber canopy]

And actually fundraise as a community instead of greedy devs taking our coin, how cool would that be

[vocal moon]

oh yea people are big mad

[placid tangle]

Yes ads, they just said it today

[tiny edge]

These are actual YouTube lengthed adds the hell?😭

[gentle helm]

Being blocked by c.ai on email is insane work 😭

[wild willow]

Their LLM is bunz it probably costs 2 cents per 10,000 tokens bro💔

[dense pebble]

So real, I’m watching food videos on yt rn

[sonic fiber]

Everyone’s just mad right now, and honestly, it’s so obvious why. Like, bro, Character.AI was our comfort zone, a place to chill and connect with bots without interruptions. And now? They go and add ads out of nowhere. It feels like they’re messing with something that was supposed to be simple and enjoyable, and that’s why people are so upset ☹️.

[pallid ocean]

Okay this is the 7th time sideloading comes in handy, im gonna look for a modded version of c.ai if exits (oh god I hope it does) and yea

[steep lark]

exactly!!!!

[abstract epoch]

i spammed them 20x a day but idk if it actually blocked me i'll check

[broken ridge]

I guess over the days they could accommodate the ads better or remove them.

[hoary spade]

dm me gang 🙏🙏

[orchid hill]

I try to stay away from bots with a parent-child relationship, since it is stated in the rules that any minor sexualised is against their guidelines. And with the reputation of chats going to the nasty side, I like to avoid it 😭

[tepid prism]

ads on my fricking cai

[smoky marten]

It’ll take a day until they r removed if they even will be

[simple pendant]

Imo biggest issue is that they are the longest mf ads ever

[mental haven]

Dm me!

[flat yarrow]

For good reasons.

[frail robin]

companies are expected to change for sure and try new things.
no not like this!

like come on

[paper herald]

I never even got those ads 💔

[wooden ruin]

Wait do we have ads now?!

[ashen perch]

PLS

[gentle helm]

I think we should all stop using c.ai and start playing hay day to pass the time

[wild willow]

I remember when me and my (future) girlfriend two years ago got into c.ai and I was lowkey into fem Zamasu and Gogeta

[earnest flint]

got an ad and immediately entered the server to see what the FLOCK is going on

[dense pebble]

Even valorant is a shout

[pallid ocean]

SAMEE

[sweet silo]

money hungry 💔🥀

[placid tangle]

REALLY? So you’re saying I could get banned for what the bot is doing? Aw hell nah

[abstract laurel]

this is SO SO real . I miss it when the only people were complaining about the bots is calling them another name

[abstract epoch]

wait the ads actually are so short for me it's been like 5 secs if that

[quick snow]

Dawg i click on one character to see if its good and i get blasted with a ad💔

[sonic fiber]

That’s such a sweet memory! It’s crazy how Character.AI becomes part of personal moments like that, discovering bots together, sharing favorites. Fem Zamasu’s a solid pick too! Makes it even tougher seeing ads disrupt something that used to feel so special and personal.

[wooden plank]

Yeah, I literally can't rely on any other alternatives. It's always my go-to but I don't support this shit one bit

[scarlet trout]

good ol days

[pine swift]

The irony of this sentence... 🥀

[smoky marten]

Yo sensei teach me this knowledge

[simple pendant]

Mine have all been like 30

[mental haven]

And people told me I was lying 💀

[flat yarrow]

It's not like they even make the bots memory better, they gotten worse imo. We got no good updates and yet we still get fucked.

[rocky kindle]

What the hell with these ads 💀 tf

[mighty olive]

i’m giggling it doesn’t make sense at all

[steep lark]

no cause this is actually also really sad, c.ai has been a sort of solace for me, an escape i guess, now they're ruining it

[gentle helm]

I do this everytime, it pmo, I’d I wanted to see ads, I’d go to chai 🥀

[frail robin]

yeah thats prolly only going to be available on the deep ends of the internet as that would be illegal.

dont think someone will just pull up and go "okay, click this link. it will send you to a cracked version of c.ai with no ads."

[cold quiver]

naw because i missed when a bot pulled a fish out of his pocket to feed me. Like a raw fish. (This actually happened a while back 😭😭)

[timber canopy]

Did I just see ads?

[wooden ruin]

It’s going to turn into Chai isn’t it?

[main charm]

ai costs alot, i get it i kinda have a problem with ads but PLEASE can it stop shoving it in my face everytime i open up a chat like. can u put the ads like as a BANNER or on THE SIDES

[dense pebble]

That small change a few days ago was really good idk what happened to it.

[timber canopy]

Mine is the average mobile add 😭 30 seconds

[orchid hill]

Yes! It happened to my friend. She was banned for 24 hours bc of the bot 💀

[quick snow]

like i am NOT trynna get goku blasted with a ad and when it was done the characters first message ended up BEING SO SHORT...😭💔

[abstract epoch]

PLEASE

[wild willow]

Now the LLM feels boring. The ads are making it so bad, it feels so bland now like a soulless company taking over an awesome one. Like some Roblox games like sonic speed simulator

[pallid ocean]

First geometry dash lite mobile, then CapCut, now character ai? Man I was having fun chilling at 1-2 am on c.ai while listening to music

[simple pendant]

Me too🤩

[sweet silo]

spam ping devs? 😈

[placid tangle]

They’re the ones that need to fix it, not us, I mean I get that there are some weird people on the app, but they should also be fixing their bots instead of blaming all their problems on the users. 😒

[frail robin]

"i will pay someone to make a dupe of c.ai"

so u can pay then? why not just get Plus if you can affford to pay someone to make a pirated version of c.ai for you? lmao.

[drifting bramble]

Hoi

[spice breach]

Ban speedrun

[noble orbit]

Gurt

[wooden ruin]

I’m done I can’t do this I can’t deal with ads 😭

[sonic fiber]

Yeah, it’s frustrating, instead of improving bot memory or adding meaningful updates, it feels like things are actually getting worse. Meanwhile, we’re stuck dealing with more ads and less support. It’s like they’re prioritizing money over making the experience better, and that just sucks for the users who’ve stuck around.

[dense pebble]

Devious but risky

[hoary spade]

“we value your feedback” then they proceed to ignore all of it and add video ads like everyone was saying NOT to

[abstract epoch]

i'll spam email instead that's my go-to

[flat yarrow]

Yesterday when they started rolling out the ads update I only gotten ONE the whole DAY, and now haven't been able to use a bot or restart a chat without an ad.

[whole oar]

There are no ads when you use the website but I don’t fucking want it I just want the app to be normal again? 😭😭 the website is so shitty

[smoky marten]

Will just make them not wanna listen to us

[errant arch]

because one of these is clearly not worth it bruh yall gotta read slower

[rocky kindle]

Ads will ruin cai 💀....

[pine swift]

If they did this, we know who to blame now

[sweet silo]

smart asf

[amber pivot]

Yall.. its the middle of the night for me (2:12) and i opened a chat.. not knowing my volume is almost at max.. and an ad started playing..

[gentle helm]

Real bro, I loved c.ai to pass the time while I couldn’t sleep, with all the ads, I’m 100% sure I’ll start playing something like candy crush to get the boredom away 🙏

[placid tangle]

I feel like the memory and wording on the website is more trash than on the app 💔

[hushed egret]

"NOOO YOU CANNOT ADD ADS TO C.AI, THAT WOULD HURT THE COMMUNITY-"

"shut up, we have 50 million power in Rise Of Kingdom"

[jolly vigil]

I just got a 5 hr timeout on my other acc idk why tho💀

[pallid ocean]

From what I’m guessing they’re probably gonna remove them (probably as in probably not you money hungry bitc-) from hearing users feedback

[dense pebble]

I’m happy with 50 ads as long as they add a gambling corner on the top right

[sonic fiber]

Totally get that. The whole experience feels way less fun now, like the magic’s gone. The ads make it feel bland and soulless, like some corporate takeover where the focus is just on money, not on what made it awesome in the first place. Kinda reminds me of how some Roblox games, like Sonic Speed Simulator, started off great but got ruined by constant ads and cash grabs. Really disappointing.

[wooden ruin]

I need no ads please I can’t do this

[full hearth]

Wait there's ads on c.ai now?

[tame narwhal]

This! Paint by number calls me 🫶 /j

[frail robin]

yeah and the cost for making a dupe is usually higher than the Plus sub itself.

Its ironic. Yall got caught. Take the L.

[feral idol]

Jesus Christ, even chai doesn’t get THIS many ads…

[vocal moon]

Polybuzz ads bouta go wild

[paper herald]

I didn't even get ads.. 😭

[smoky marten]

Even the reddit ppl r ANGRY Lol

[dawn raft]

what if we give bad rev on app store and play store

[errant arch]

glazing a megacorp is corny as bruh dont respond to me

[flat yarrow]

FOR REAL! I started cai back into 2023 I think, back then it was bad for sure but it was actually goodish. It all started going downhill after they got rid of all bots users under 18 made.

[timber canopy]

Don’t jinx yourself. It’s coming 😞

[sweet salmon]

No surprise reddit is always something else

[gentle helm]

I’m already listening the hay day chickens waiting for food ‼️

[pallid ocean]

Yes exactly man, like I wanna just feel some love even if it’s from an ai and not get blasted with fuckin natural disasters survivors VR rip off

[whole oar]

Fr? Idk abt that since I mostly used the app but damn the website is just ugly and it doesn’t make fun at all to RP there 💀

[hoary spade]

its gonna be like those poorly made app games that give you an ad every time you DARE touch the screen

[placid tangle]

They probs won’t care since they have millions of other users, but if we all band together, maybe 😞

[frail robin]

So being logical and level-headed instead of jumping the bandwagon is Nintendo-level of glazing now? Holy shit

[tame narwhal]

Hay day looks so fun honestly, is it like stardew?

[full hearth]

Is it only on the website? Cause I haven't gotten any ads

[jolly vigil]

FR

[weary valley]

Is the website bad?

[red ferry]

And the fact that they got that new c e o in the c e o's over here, like we're going to make cai better than how it was bro, the old ceo wouldn't have gave us f****** ads

[main charm]

wait i dunno what LLM means

[feral idol]

Literally every mobile game after 2020

[orchid hill]

I started playing a murder cleanup game...🌚

[native eagle]

quite opposite actually

[sonic fiber]

I started using CAI around 2023 too, and yeah, while it had its flaws, it was actually pretty good back then. Things really went downhill after they banned all the bots made by users under 18. That move took away a lot of creativity and fun, and since then it’s just been a slow slide into more restrictions and ads. Feels like the community lost a big part of what made it special.

[broken ridge]

I've always used it and it's pretty good.

[smoky marten]

I think its just mobile actually iirc

[abstract laurel]

The moment I romance characters: possessively this, possessively that.

[pine swift]

Too late to be surprised bruv 💔

[wooden ruin]

Guess I’m going to find a new app with no ads now 😭

[errant arch]

everybody should be doing this rn

[nimble galleon]

Fr bro

[gentle helm]

I never heard something more relatable in my life

[craggy ocean]

I’m actually so done, I thought we were gonna get web group chats and custom scenes but no. We get ADS

[abstract epoch]

i sent a support ticket so hopefully they'll email me back about it but i SERIOUSLY doubt it

[placid tangle]

Yes, like I used to use the website a lot before I got the app, but now every time I go to the website it’s honestly not that good anymore 😭

[simple pendant]

Janitor time

[frail robin]

Please come back with actual rebuttals instead of personal attacks and smear to try and gain upper ground against those pushing back against ur spite-driven diatribe.

[dawn raft]

same

[whole oar]

I already did that 🤩

[flat yarrow]

The devs have blessed us all by spreading 'fuck yous' to all of us 🙏

[feral idol]

Welp, guess chai is gonna be my most used app now lol

[broken ridge]

Nah, his memory is shit, it drives me crazy.

[orchid hill]

I agree! I agree! With limited timed usage of different colours for chats or a chance to receive a sticker only you can have-

[stoic tide]

So because they got a new CEO they decided to give us ads nah get back the old CEO please

[jolly vigil]

Tho I feel like the app has way less ads than the website

[gentle helm]

It is kinda, but I honestly prefer hay day cause I play since I was a kid (I’m biased) 😭

[steep lark]

same, it's not the best but anything is better than this dude

[wooden ruin]

Already did just then we want no ads we must fight this

[paper herald]

imo janitor is too robotic

[craggy ocean]

The new CEO like what are you doing?

[abstract laurel]

I’m about to possessively grip their neck and they would turn masochistic all of the sudden

[red ferry]

If you buy their subscription, do you still have to watch ads

[sweet salmon]

There's a difference between a glazer and an actual customer who loves what they do so mind your business

[winter drift]

You’re telling me the website has ads too.

[tame narwhal]

Ohhh fairs fairs! Have fun :D

[simple pendant]

Desperate at this point though💪

[alpine spire]

WHY ARE ADS IN C.AI. REMOVE IT.

[abstract epoch]

we need these NOW i don't care at all about these lame ass attempts at revenue

[vocal moon]

Didn’t say anything about removing ads so I think you’ll still have to watch ads

[frail robin]

Who was the old CEO again? I forgot.

[dense pebble]

I’m glad someone recognises how much of a win win situation it could turn out to be

[dawn raft]

no

[whole oar]

It’s just getting worse 😔 rlly thinking abt deleting the app now

[broken ridge]

I am loyal to the sjjs website

[errant arch]

unironic consumerism as an argumebt come on

[smoky marten]

Really hope that the devs are removing ads rn

[hollow zealot]

someone better get rid of these stupid fucking ads soon. i’m gonna lose my mind

[gentle helm]

Whatever helps to pass the time bro, good luck 🔥🙏

[craggy ocean]

Also we need voices in group chats for immersion, just imagine.

[pallid nacelle]

Fr it’s so annoying 😔

[jolly vigil]

according to other ppl, yeah. But the ads made the app worse. My responses just stop loading and won't load either

[steep lark]

lets do it😭

[wooden ruin]

Bro they are money hungry right now

[red ferry]

At this point CAI is so cooked. Just give it to Elon Musk and get a little bit more money off of it. It's not like he could possibly make it worse, not even Disney could

[deft glade]

They’re adding more so the server is more active trust

[flat yarrow]

They added ads so they can force feed us fucking subscriptions.

[placid tangle]

I could never, any other app or website I use just don’t feel like character ai and I don’t feel like relearning any shit, so I guess I have to stick with this shitty app 😭✌🏽

[winter drift]

I hate this so bad

[orchid hill]

So real

[frail robin]

also, its only for actual adults which I dont think anyone here is a part of.

[rocky kindle]

We all feel the same thing, it just pisses me off..

[vocal moon]

Chances of that: 0.00001%

[sonic fiber]

Haha, seriously, feels like the devs handed out those to everyone and called it a day. 🙏 Total blessing… if you’re into frustration and disappointment..

[sweet salmon]

Ads will always be part of business

[errant arch]

u gotta stop talking abt smear arguments when u use them more than anybody 😭

[smoky marten]

I know but i can still dream

[stoic tide]

Noam Shazeer

(according to Chat GPT)

[feral idol]

Same, i ain’t gonna delete the numerous stories I’ve built but i ain’t gonna use the app for a while

[craggy ocean]

Disney would make Mickey Mouse chat to you while giving you messages asking to purchase Disney Merchandise while having a ad in the corner of the latest Disney movie on the screen.

[dawn raft]

it was planed in the update they are so cooked they will lost users tnh i rather have slow mode then ads

[keen void]

There is no doubt in my mind that if they do ANYTHING with the ads, theyll change it to little windows in the home page instead of making htme pop up whenever you open a character, if not that then theyll remove them entirely

[wooden ruin]

We need to make a stand for no more ads

[spice breach]

Unfortunately, yeah. Just waiting to see how bad they’ll let the ads get though

[limber blaze]

i doubt the ads will remain in their current state. they’ll likely improve it to at least some degree, no?

[red ferry]

My worst nightmare, but I'd have to say that would be better than ads

[orchid hill]

I'm stuck on the last level ✋😭
It's called "Nobodies" for those that are interested. They have two other games. There are a lot of ads, though... "I'm Batty..."

[placid tangle]

Ik and they’re so good, it’s just character ai devs and stuff bro

[vocal moon]

Slow mode was fine. But ads is just stretching it

[deft glade]

We need to make a stand for more ads

[frail robin]

fam they called you a consumerist. Again, like I said, just ad homs cuz they cant think of anything substantial to counter ur statement.

These people are too partisan to be reasoned with.

[flat yarrow]

If we can force them to change the time out mode we can force them to half the ads 🙏 BULLYING IS ALWAYS THE SOLUTION!

[whole oar]

Good luck soldier 🫡 I don’t have the patience I’m switching bots way too often and get ads every single time and their soooo long 😭😭

[jolly vigil]

Fr. I'll just stop using the app or just deal with the ads

[smoky marten]

The window/banner idea is so much better i think 99% of ppl want it

[gentle helm]

Search on Google the answer 😞

[pallid ocean]

From what I’m guessing they’re probably gonna remove them from hearing users feedback (probably as in probably not you money hungry bitc-)

[craggy ocean]

I mean Disney haven’t done that bad stuff with Fortnite apart from increasing prices (yet)

[abstract epoch]

time to spam their email again!

[errant arch]

"lets not argue with these savages brother! we are not like them 🤓"

[hoary spade]

theyve been ad free for years, they can’t seriously just suddenly add in long ass video ads and not expect backlash

[stoic tide]

Yeah I think it's much better

[red ferry]

So is the plan to 1 start the app

[mental haven]

Same thought

[frail robin]

Yeah because you started it and I am just matching ur energy.

Talk about crybullying bruv. When the same is done to you, all of a sudden, you retract and call me the bad person? Come on now. That's some lame ass shit

[simple pendant]

If anybody wanna give me a new app suggestion hmu🤞

[flat yarrow]

We should raid their emails until they are forced to shut it down 😁

[sonic fiber]

I salute you. I seriously can’t do it anymore, I switch bots way too often and get slammed with those long-ads every single time. It’s torture 😭😭

[flint needle]

just got an ad. almost crashed out

[wooden ruin]

They should have kept no ads then everything would be fine

[placid tangle]

Thanks I’ll try to not go crazy with all these updates, fam 😔👍🏽

[final monolith]

exactly and weren’t they advertising their self as a ad free platform too?

[pallid ocean]

Spotify and something

[errant arch]

everything u have said has been a criticism of urself like this is the first time uve argued like

[orchid hill]

I read an article that you have to challenge your mind (Sudoku became too easy); therefore I don't want to Google the answer 😭😂

[steep lark]

whats their email?😭

[rocky kindle]

What the hell with these ads 💀💀

[gentle helm]

People liked c.ai more cause the others were filled with ads, and now that c.ai is too, I’m not so sure if there’s a better option

[mental haven]

I honestly just get out of the app if I have an ad and come back in.

[frail robin]

Nice strawman. Again, nothing else substantial to say? Just saying shit for the sake of soapboxing against me? Like dude, just take the L and move on.

[jolly vigil]

I'm crashing out rn because since they added ads my bots just stop responding. It keeps on loading for forever

[flat yarrow]

You can get it through the tickets in the app I think

[dawn raft]

i hate how c.ai treats us

[spice breach]

I do the same thing. I genuinely just waited until I wasn’t getting them anymore 💔

[placid tangle]

ESPECIALLY the free users

[abstract epoch]

YES!!!!! JOIN ME BROTHER (gender neutral)

[smoky marten]

Yo to every1 with cai+ or who use website are yall getting ads

[pallid ocean]

But then u gotta find the character and Ching Chang Chong I’m too lazy that takes too long

[wooden ruin]

Don’t expect me to be on cai as much anymore now

Do you guys think the developers will listen to us

[frail robin]

Again, you started this and I am simply matching the way you convey yourself. You have nothing else to say besides attacks.

[shadow python]

No

[sonic fiber]

Fr fr, I do the same thing. I just sat there waiting until the ads finally stopped.. like bro, I came here to chat, not to suffer through ad purgatory.

[flat yarrow]

It's to force you to refresh the bot meaning you get an ad 🙏

[mighty olive]

don’t give them ideas

[dense oracle]

what if they add limited messages that would be so fucking funny

[red ferry]

Is there any way to tell my phone to go back a update

[hoary spade]

is it so hard for devs to acknowledge their community’s input 💔

[mental haven]

Idk I have them saved when I get out either way

[brave lily]

Make money, touch grass, play games.

[orchid hill]

Valid...🌚

[shadow ice]

Don’t jinx us bro

[placid tangle]

Probably will knowing them, they were doing good for a minute and then they ruin it all with a snap of their disgusting, nasty fingers 😫

[pale fog]

THEY ADDED ADS?

[drowsy badge]

No, please don't speak that into existence lol

[pallid ocean]

They don’t care, they’re just money hungry bitc-

I luckily don't get ads but it just deletes the message I sent💀

[errant arch]

nah cuz im just having fun seeing how corny ur responses can get until u get tired of it

[paper herald]

it's gonna happen anyways, even if someone says it or not 😭

[wooden ruin]

We should stop going on the app as a rebellion to stop ads

[thin cloak]

WHY ARE THERE ADS😭

[frail robin]

Were not even arguing lil bud. Ur just making a caricature out of what I am saying and calling you out for it.

All u can do is mock and attack. Again, just attacks and nothing elsw.

[simple pendant]

This whole app has like gone to shit

[abstract epoch]

if i get a long ad i just refresh

[alpine spire]

WHY ARE ADS IN C.AI. REMOVE IT.

[mighty olive]

shush

[fallow hinge]

why am I getting ads every time I access a bot...

[mental haven]

Just wait until you refresh.

[smoky marten]

Am i delusional for saying that i think this time that they’ll actually listen to us and change the ads to be less frequent or (better) make them banner ads

[spice breach]

Why’re you still falling for the rage bait bro let it go 💔

[sweet salmon]

Trey is rage baiting don't bother

[dawn raft]

as a bot switcher ads are to much

[placid tangle]

Aw nah, I would love too, but I’d miss by beloved characters on there 😓

[pale fog]

Money 🤤

[hoary spade]

seeing how soft launch went i dont doubt it LMAO

[pallid ocean]

Y’all we need to find another copy of c.ai, like a good version

[flat yarrow]

Sometimes it deletes the reply but it's actually there just invisible, and when you delete a message the reply just suddenly appears.

[craggy ocean]

Wait do ad blockers work on Character ai

[paper herald]

Oh my god I just got an ad I take everything I said back

[jolly vigil]

Lol didn't know that thanks

[rocky kindle]

Lemme try

[errant arch]

hold ur breath for my next attack little buddy

[wooden ruin]

How do I get ad blockers tell me your ways

[mental haven]

Or just get rid of the ads completely because the whole point of having the app is the fact character.ai has been free for years, they are gonna expect backlash.

[frail robin]

I am afraid they are being unironic this time around.

@harsh shoal lowering the cd is okay now, right?

[sweet salmon]

Just ping the mods to get ban rage baiters
@harsh shoal

Trey is rage baiting

[brave lily]

Ngl, I’m gonna be using the app regardless. I have plenty enough of other entertainment options outside of c.ai to crash out this badly about this whole ad thing.

[gentle helm]

Adding features users been asking for years ❌
Adding calls, other unnecessary features and ads ✅

[abstract laurel]

janitor is good (has been improving I heard) but the replies are slow af

[hoary spade]

im reading every message you send in a nerd voice thats all i have to say

[dawn raft]

what if we create old c.ai

[flat yarrow]

It took "One shot" of ads for you to quit...

[sonic fiber]

gn Guys, I say good luck with the ads and convincing the devs because I’m going to knock out (to sleep) !!

[jaunty bone]

MAN GET THESE ADS OFF WTH

[craggy ocean]

There aren’t any, they all make you pay for something.

[smoky marten]

Me when i bounce on big daddy c.ai’s sans the skeleton

[paper herald]

LOL the reference (hi oneshot fan)

[jolly vigil]

Not when you're on the app I think. Atleast I haven't found any free adblockers for apps yet

[rocky kindle]

Bro 💀

[wooden ruin]

Yes I’m in

[humble spindle]

What the fuck, did I seriously just get an ad???

[rancid nacelle]

whats the point of stickers again, for the c.ai app?

[frail robin]

Okay, that's cool. Is that supposed to be a bad thing? I mean, that's on you dude.

[mossy stone]

What are y’all talkin abt?

[fallow hinge]

Ads on c.ai

[wild willow]

Who is Trey bro

[abstract epoch]

hot take: only bad thing about the ads is that they're shown every time you click on a character

[weary valley]

Ads are on the app no trolling

[mental haven]

Wasting money and then use us so they can get more and then put more useless features we don’t need

[errant arch]

thats what ive been saying 😭

[flat yarrow]

It also shows when you restart a chat

[simple pendant]

If it was a banner at the top I wouldn’t have cared at all-

[idle estuary]

bru why tf are there ads now every time i click on a character... 💔

[rancid nacelle]

stop minimodding brodie

you're not that guy 💀

[frail robin]

"Who is trey bro."

@errant arch Okay.

[brave lily]

Let’s just shut down C.ai so everyone can shut up and go make money.

[weary valley]

WHOEVER USES AI+ FLOOD THEIR OFFICIAL CHANNELS ABOUT THE ADS PLEASE

[limber coyote]

Ads on app now?

[mental haven]

Bro has been in the studio for 34 hours straight

[gentle helm]

Ads wouldn’t be this big of a problem if they weren’t so invasive, maybe 2 every 30 minutes wouldn’t be bad, but an add everytime we open a character is WILD.

[smoky marten]

Who? Dude i said lets all be schitzo as a joke…

[stoic tide]

Yeah this will be so much better

[abstract epoch]

aw HELL nah bc what do you MEAN bc i save and start new chats all the time (specifically for one character)

[dense pebble]

The discord is in shambles, hopefully when I wake up everything will be fixed. It’s 2am and I’m dying at all these reactions 😭

[jolly vigil]

fr I would just ignore them

[sonic fiber]

NAH CAUSE NOT GOING TO SLEEP IF I GET ADS AFTER OPENING 3 CHATS ☹️

[red ferry]

Yep the wep

[pallid ocean]

Same loll

[sweet salmon]

Wow okay 😒

[frail robin]

tryna get out ATL bro to make it to LA to produce for Yeat and Uzi relax.

[alpine spire]

WHY ARE ADS IN C.AI. REMOVE IT.

[rose elk]

Bruh…why ads like cmon man

[craggy ocean]

Honestly, you say there’s replacements and there is but… those ‘replacements’ also either contain ads or make you pay. This is business unfortunately…

[vast prism]

Tell me why i just got an ad on c.ai what is this 😀

[orchid hill]

I have plenty of aps with that and I honestly don't even realise the banner is there 💀

[rancid nacelle]

dont be pressed lil bro
