NAH FR, it might surpass all the games
They don't care bruh they're money hungry

Who got muted again?
Oh and Deepsqueak I use c.ai+ for Deepsqueak
ā¦
Baiiii


Same...
Larry Iām sorry
LMAOAOA
I heard deepsqueak is ass
Works great for me
I may be broke, but you guys..
I use pipsqueak 

Im just disappointed
i'm not a fan of deepsqueak but it's just bc I don't like the RP style, to each their own though
Larry plz
-I'm Caleb's pipsqueak- š
I already been moved to alts

I donāt use any of these, because all they do is testing my patience
I just get on C.AI every once in a while
I hope Marieās matcha is cold and her cup is hot.
She ain't really a dev tho
I hope her cup is hot.
I hope the devs talk
Cold drink but hot cup
Sounds like my coffee in the morning on some days
I can give you a high five
Cold ass coffee, hot af cup
Deal.
My shower. The shower head is hot but the water is cold
šļø
Bet it's bliss in the summer tho
šļø
What could possibly explain that?
At least I don't think she is @hot ridge
Batman?
huh
i'm not a mod or a she
Squishy is the goat he should be a mod lowk
lmao
Itās a pain, because I am still cold in the summer
@chrome pulsar
They're talking about Marie i think
@delicate monolith you moved to an alt yet?
I kinda want some chips and salsa rn
J ai is good
My favourite colour is green but it doesn't suit my pfp
it is, tbh.
Damn you. Now I want pizza
It matched my banner 
Link me your profile on there in dm's, imma follow it
I want papa Johnās also
Iām just big and greedy bro
Sad that my Foggy Irishman (a seasonal latte) is now gone š„²
I'm just a random user on j ai unfortunately
I thought you had all your bots moved over there?
Interesting server tag...
I.. am tempted
Hrre
I just hope that custodian doesnāt go under.
I'm not the actual peanut, peanut got banned for calling out the devs for being greedy he's our goat
I'm a fan
Oh
Yeah it sucks
Can they keep ads mute? I swear i have muted them, but they keep bothering me with unnecessary mosquito noises
He was a legend
Larry, why arent you in bed? its been 3 hours
HOW DID UOU GET HERE
Tempted to what??
come back to bed
No
Leave larry alone he's my spiritual pet
well hes my cat

I wish to know more about this Peanut fellow
I will eat your last slice of lasagna.
i wont feed you those souls then
Larry you've gotten soft you ate your last owner's balls off
You wouldnt dare
Is it weird that I like the smell of garlic, and that I donāt hate garlic breath?š
This one is nice though.. he feeds me souls
nice of you to say that larry. now get back to bed
Uhh...
Food.
I assume they're putting ads mid chat just so they can get people to get C.AI+ (bit of a conspiracy theory I know but the mods and the devs have been radio silent so)
NO. Ima eat your toes AND fingers
then im not feeding you those souls
You wouldn't eat raw garlic though that's for sure
I hope they at least say something at the minimum.
Hell nah, for that I am too picky
Im still mad at u for getting yearly
A lot of Asian folk do
tsk. yearly user
I'm sorry Larry please forgive me for I have made a terrible mistake

I mean if they are purposely putting ads in the middle of chats, aren't they breaking a promise that they made?
Larry don't eat my soul Larry...
Ok who decided to create that ā
ā emojiš
As far as I know, theyāre breaking a promise. Thatās why I hope they say it was a bug or intentional. As far as I know, itās feeling really intentional.

We are the fools for trusting a company that only sees us as money bags tbh they have showed their greed and lies many times before and it all started in 2023
Nah 2023-2024 was peak C.AI
It was, but behind the scenes they have been making dumb decisions and it only escalated now
2025 is where it went to shit
This sucks man
The mid ads ruined it
We know...
Crumbling faster than a cookie
I keep getting goosebumps after there was a huge dark brown spider in the middle of my bedroom
I wasn't thinking, so I had to do what I had to do. No idea if it's venomous/dangerous, but I didn't wanted to take any risks. And I had my elder cat with me, so I didn't wanted my cat to be hurt by it 
Definitely Roblox, C.AI didn't do the face ID or id verification thing yet
THANK fully
My will to wanna go to work.
..Fair enough
Is it a rumor that they wonāt remove it at all?
They added that shit because they're money hungry
WE NEED YOU JOHNNY FUCK CAPITALISM
As far as we all know, weāre in the foggy dark. They may or may not keep it.
yes c.ai has. I think it depends on your country. Also if you're not suspected of being a minor you may never have to verify
No announcement?
How do people even suspect thatš
Yeah they're kinda doing the YouTube thing if you remember that
I never saw a spider like that in my bedroom, so I guess that it arrived here because I had my window open this morning. It's not that I hate spiders, it's just that I'm kind of scared. Some of them are cool tho
I just hope they say something or anything. They basically just left all of us in the dark..
Yea I want them to say something
This is unacceptable and I canāt continue playing
Least it's more trustworthy and manageable than Roblox lol
All of us waitin on two old guys š¶
How long has this mid ads happened
almost a week now
I never was asked to varify but I did it anyway
When and why does dyno show up?
I hope that, when they try to fart, they poop themselves in a public setting.
Mods probably
they have a system running in the background to catch minors lying about their age on adult accounts. They haven't released exactly what triggers, they just said "based on site activity" or something similar
It's over
Really? I thought there was some announcement on itās a bug but I canāt find it here
Sooo, people who arenāt active all the time are most likely adults due to work?
i havent on here, but I did for chatGPT lmaoo
I wish the devs make an announcement
Some saying itās intentional while some saying itās a bug. I donāt know which is which but I hope itās set straight.
Marie kinda doing a terrible job at being community lead ngl
Wait what? ChatGPT asks for age verification?
a mod literally said yesterday night that it's intentional
nope just few short downs on status thats ab it
Not trying to be rude but it kinda seems that way
Well shit then.
She keeps announcing shit that people don't need on C.AI š
It's intentional because after you get the ad you get the option to subscribe to the plus and in the plus' description it says it will remove the pop up ads so yeah we're done
basically saying buy plus for no ads or left there but plus doesnāt do much
Charms are fnking stupid if you ask me
They're telling you how many times you scrolled for a new response on the app now---
Also using charms gets rid of the mid-chat popup ads... 
for just a hour and back again
Honestly, it wouldāve been nice to know they changed their minds about mid chat ads tbh.
ChatGPT might as well get rid of the f word if you verify as an adult
It's just so they could avoid a lawsuit it's obvious

My experience is ruined
They're meant for non-c.ai+ users to get the perks of c.ai+ for a certain amount of time
All of us twin
the CEO said it would be looser for adults but they out here lyin too!
Ngl I actually logged out of my account today because I literally couldnāt handle the broken features anymore lol it was getting on my nerves
Mid roll ads I swear
Mid roll ads make me constipated and angry.
It's always some dumbass ad about shit game or something
Constipated? š„²
Hate to say it, but theyāre slowly turning into CHAIā¦
I can relate
Ong fuck them greedy ass mfs
I hope it doesnāt get that bad. But, if it does, Iām fully transitioning to Custodian.
I kinda feel like that's their intention tbh
POV: Speed running to ruin your business (Following Roblox's footsteps fr)
Still think Chai's pricing this the fucking worst
Funny, I can just block ads using chrome extension, I aint buying Plus
I'm not seeing an option to age verify on ChatGPT unless it's not on the app @hot ridge
Even how much I pin the messages my characters still canāt remember anything š
They're trying to kick out free users same people that built their platform btw! Same people they built their AI on
Fr
$10 a month for c.ai+ is still solid imo but I hope they donāt get as bad as that site.
They train their AI on our interactions they need us
you have to go to the verification support page and go to the link it tells you to on there
I will fucking cry if they do
Wait is that how people were able to generate adult images? After they varify?
Crazy
I canāt afford character AI+
i have no idea tbh, i don't generate images
but if that's the case and it was for images that makes... so much more sense on why writing still triggers it
Go to the website through opera, it has a built in adbl0ck3r
Why
I personally can afford c.ai+, just donāt feel like paying for it.
Lucky
Same.
Lmao it won't survive till next month
Then again, I hope it gives smaller services a chance to show.
My experience and probably others are ruined
Ew nvm they use a "trusted" 3rd party named Persona for it
Mid ads though
I don't have ads
yup it's persona as well, but for me i just did the selfie and it took it so i didn't have to give ID
Itās when you talk to your chatbot
I know but I don't get adds, for some reason I just don't get ads
I used to but not anymore
I wore a fake beard and it let me pass
if you use web they haven't rolled out there yet
I use both my phone and web, my phone doesn't get ads though
I used my ai generated and it passed
I know C.ai needs to show free users ads to at least stay afloat on the free users, itās just annoying with the mid roll ads in chats. If it were a banner shown instead of an ad, I wouldāve been fine.
do you use the website on your phone...?
Exactly, a banner is fine
Iāve been using Adguard Pro to prevent the ads. I use it on IOS
I downloaded it on play store
Yeah but they introduced both...
is it free 
Greedy ahh
Opera has a built in adbluhker
Which sucks. I understand ads are needed to make a profit on free users, it just feels a bit overbearing as well.
Itās $5.99, one time pitch. But I honestly think itās one of the better options instead of $10 a month for no ads.
Agreed. Hopefully they realise their mistake and backtrack
oh 
They wont.. i assure you
What are y'all talking about I just joined
lol the only two services I know of that tried to give away more for free than CAI both went out of business
Oh I know... Their greed sickens me
Mhm
Mid ads for free users
I know one site that did similar that went under because they tried to go fully free.
I have a bad feeling though that theyāre gonna try to do something to combat Adblockersā¦
they have in the past. A lot of app features used to stop working if you used them
Same or find a fix for it
Yea true...
The thing is, the FBI literally encourages people to use Adblockers. No joke.
Youtube failed to prevent it fully, I doubt they can
I believe that legally YouTube can't stop adbluhkers?
Think about how the Reddit would react if they did
Did they backfire? Or still around? I personally havenāt seen any restrictions when using Adguard Pro?
if I get one more ad mid chat Iām gonna crashout
Even if they did, tons more will pop up, they cant stop it all
It'll get worse and worse from this point onwards
I'm not sure tbh
Is the ad issue fixed?
Iām getting it after every message HOW can it get worse im scared
worse, mod confirmed it's intentional, and pop up ads were added to the plus subscription page
Nuh uh
Nah but It'll take them weeks or days to find a way to prevent adbluhkers (the word itself is muted from the chat that alone is a red flag)
They could show you popups in your sleep
They will destroy themselves someday
Possibly in the future they just might introduce limited chats...
anything to ruin their company
Vro cai is turning into one of those free movie websites
Have ads been introduced mid chat?
š
yuppp
Well, itās been a good run
I was here when it all started and I wanna see where it will all go from now on
I might js implode
Myflixer ahh
Yeah, but theyāre slowly turning never made an announcement of some kind
Same, it was fun in the beginning
On one hand, AI in general is an expensive business to run in general. In the other, you want to be able to enjoy that service as much as possible. Itās either enjoy the service and it goes under due to finances or the service shows some form of ads or subscription.
We never know, never hope for the best because it will always be the worst
Oh dear, is it permanent? Haven't seen any announcements on it
True, it feels nostalgic
Oh i see
I mean what do y'all use the app or the website?
Both
a mod talked about bugs with it. Basically saying if you're getting ads in the middle of typing it's a bug, but popup ads in chat are intentional.
Also, removing pop up ads were added to the plus subscription page
Yep exactly.
Haha, anyway Imma go to sleep and dream about mid ads
It wouldāve been nice if they told us beforehand about doing this change.
Okay, that sucks either way
I believe they're trying to avoid a possible lawsuit with them repeatedly clarifying?
Bruh if they did that, a lot of people are gonna leave
It is what it is
I know, but a lotta people will cave in and buy plus... And the one thing that they actually care about is moneyyy
ah so mines were both but mostly pop up in the middle of typing
I wonāt use the app until they switch it back to how it was
I think thatās what ticked people off more than actually introducing it. Donāt get me wrong, them doing definitely got them angry. But a lack of announcement didnāt help.
yeah def submit a ticket if the ad didn't wait until you were done typing
heyyy
i'm spreading your wisdom all over this chat kappa...
mines does it both pop up mid way typing and sometimes freezes my screen so
Kappa long time no see!
your cool ok bye
@harsh shoal mid ads are ruining the experience
Fr
i second this
POV: they been hearing about it all day
Guys did the ads mid chat stopped? I heared they went to stop it and its some bug but im not sure
No itās not
If they were stopped it wouldāve been on #š£ļø±announcements or #šļø±status
real
Nah it's intentional they added that bullshit

Idek if staff are listening to us

And not tell us before hand. 
chat are we cooked, fried or deep fried
The devs are the ones who should at least try and communicate with us but they're not
crazy how it wonāt interfere yet here we are
I don't know if anyone else got this or if this is just a useless statement, but the little numbers besides the chat are really bugging me. (Exm, 12/12)
Hey guys.
Their probably ignoring us because they've been hearing about it all day
and they should keep hearing about it all day
people who buy plus are just buying into their hands
Thatās what I wish theyād done. Like, making an announcement letting us know that theyāre rolling out mid chat ads. Would I have been pissed? Yeah, but I wouldāve understood though.
We'll pass along that feedback
Every step, every word, every change, everything they do or don't do they have planned for thatttt they're more professional than we think so yea they won't say anything, they'll let us keep arguing and coping until eventually when everyone gets sick and has enough they might reply...
That's so real.
If they don't try to communicate at all,how do they expect understanding..
gintama is peak
š wow now your telling me I just bought 100 dollars of it
The charms arenāt doing much
Just say "I'd rather this platform die because they didn't have money than give it a single ad view"
Yo tell the team that we genuinely had enough Kappa
Banner and prechat ads aren't giving them enough, so they had to do the scummiest option left.

It's less "greed", more "desperation"
Yeah
I mean... They can open a donation option?
my guess is they kicked off the minors and lost the little bit they were getting in ad revenue from users that constantly switch bots.
Yea donations sounds like the best alternative
It sucks but I get it. In order to make money off of the free users, they have to do something to make a return.
because when I was a free user I only got ads switching bots and that was basically never
i donāt care how much you bought iām saying that people who buy it makes them put up more restrictions for free users and that makes the experience garbage for free users
Besides I donāt have any charm quests
You guys had it so good for the first 2/3 years, no ads, clean and direct stuff before all the filler and garbo they pushed out in the past year or so.
They just came to collect
That wasn't annoying and it didn't bother me honestly but now? It's genuinely turned into a cheap android game lmao
This is true. As much as I dislike the midchat ads, they have to make a profit in the long haul. Itās either that or start locking things behind a paywall.
Companies try not to make an app unplayable challenge: impossible
Tell that to Wikipedia
Let's just keep on bugging them about it. Even those at discord.
Idek if thatās advised
Banner ads are right there
That's hardly gonna do anything, do you know how many ignored tickets are already piled up?
I know, I aināt blind.
Right now im frustrated to keep using the app
We need a full revolution
Level with me, when was the last time you intentionally clicked on a banner ad? Vs a time you unintentionally clicked on a pop-up ad?
They need people to click on ads
banner ads im fine but mid chat is smth
This is what happens when karens run an app.
Banner ads are fine
My guy we don't care, I know what's their plan they just wanna kick away the free users because they're consuming their resources and they wanna limit that by kicking out as many free users as possible while having more plus users because those contribute more, but if that's genuinely the problem they could add the waiting rooms again I don't care just don't give us slop for slop while lowering the quality and adding some bs no one asked for
Honestly, if theyāre gonna make mid roll ads, they couldāve spread them out imo.
Fr
Probably a thousand. But hey. Might as well keep on annoying them and not fall for the trap of buying plus.
Quite a lot actually with how even the smallest portion of a click counts
Donāt promote a free thing for years and then instantly throw up a pay wall. Thatās horrible marketing.
Also the filter's getting out of hand.
It's needed at a point but wdym i text smth so normal and already can't.
They just 'fix' okay things and don't focus on the real issues.
Iād rather them show ads than put a paywall up tbh.
Can someone direct me to the announcement where Mikey says itās a bug
It is, they overcomitted. Now they have to scale it back or they die. Them's the breaks
I fear your always speaking facts šš
or just NOT annoy them and still not fall for the plus trap. All that bugging them is gonna do is, at some point, make them shut people out even more
Wasnāt it a TikTok comment or some bullshit
I donāt even follow them on TikTok
I will definitely not buy plus damn.
Until then. We'll keep. Pinging you about it... All day. Every day.
Exactly! They could maybe give people more exclusive stuff in the cai plus subscription so more people would subscribe? But nah
You don't think I agree with everything you said?
I've been preaching for MONTHS that they shouldn't pull the midchat ad bullshit
Then they better be prepared for people to leave because thatās inevitable.
Alright then just don't argue with people here everyone's already heated and misinformation is spreading like wild fire
Honestly, that would be the best option for them.
Honestly, ads are a good way to keep the service free. Iād rather them show me a mid roll ad than them lock it away behind a subscription.
There is gotta be a middle ground for us to get what we both want. Just get rid of the mid-chat ads. I don't care about banners or before or after changing bots. But not when I'm chatting. (man I hate being a complainer.)
I'm only arguing why they needed to run ads, my guy. I'm not saying they're right.
it feels like they push the mid ads yo push non plus to buy plus idk
Do you really think harassing a moderator is gonna make them change anything, though?? Kappa doesn't have the authority to actually make those changes, all the mods are able to do is push tickets to the devs and hope they actually do something
Honestly it went downhill when they caved to DMACing.
they gonna pull this shit and still not fix the issues and lost RPs to glitches that I've been ticket reporting since May lmfao
I'm not even saying people should buy Plus. Because let's be real, only sickos like me buy subscriptions for an ai chatbot
Well. Let's just hope some information about this is coming.
Lol same, been trying to get a response since last yearš
We canāt afford memberships to remove ads
As to why I can agree that they might actually need the money but like I said, maybe they should introduce more exclusive stuff in the subscription that's actually interesting so more people would subscribe or maybe add another subscription? But nah
Plus, C.ai is serving millions of people as well, so they have to show the large chunk of free users ads to make money back.
Since when does a free app need money?
I noticed that you just got plus today. They've been introducing a lot of features behind Plus for a long time now.
And you'll get that information if you're patient enough to let them bloody find it first. don't let your first impression in the server be of a pest
Because they need money to keep the app running?
Theyāve been selling us this free version for years and everyone has been using it because it was the best ai rp app/site now theyāre slowly taking away all free access until they make it another subscription to add to the list of many.
I wonāt mind paying $10 a month for C.ai+. Itās a cheap subscription.
Yeah. My bad. I'm just a little antsy about all this.
... Then its false advertising.
That's the unfortunate reality. Things like subs to these kinds of things are a luxury. Unless you're willing to burn money, it's never worth it.
They advertised it as free to USE, doesn't mean it's free to run.
Not really. A free app doesnāt exclude in app purchases
Sure so they can go corporate
The only reason why I donāt wanna leave the app is cause all the good writers are there š
If they go corpo, EVERY IP infringing bot will be taken down, my guy
They failed to go corporate due to the lawsuits they lost so much potential investors
They can barely keep non OCs in there
Its like the whole thing where the ad says 'no ads' but you're watching the ad lie blatantly.
Has deepsqueak been fixed for c.ai+? Iām trying to decide if itās worth buying again or not. The last time I was subscribed, it wasnāt that great tbh, and I canāt be asked to pay for a subscription only for zero ads.
Corpo scum
Things change, unfortunately.
If communism was real, they'd run this shit for free forever
Unfortunately, we live in a capitalist hellhole
Wait there was an outage earlier? Just saw #šļø±status
Hn
yeah people have been complaining a lot less, and the team acknowledged the issues
This has nothing to do with capitalism, its called 'poor financial advice'.

Ads suck but locking things behind a paywall sucks even more so.
Wait yall get ads?
You know what's bad? Me and you can get negatively effected, their AI is trained on OUR interactions, FREE USERS interactions, and without those everything's gonna go to dirt
this frying me
I haven't gotten a single ad and I don't even gave the subscription
YET
You're on the website right?
What they need is better perks for cai+ because no ads, better memory and one more chat style is genuinely not worth the amount you need to pay for it. š¤·āāļø (my opinion anyway)

Nah just the app
Don't jinx yourself
š¤
Bingo.
They honestly need to do that, as much as I'd hate it
they have way more than that, but i'm not here to shill for this fuck*ss company so meh
But damn the ads are that bad for yall?
@harsh shoal here there's a good suggestion instead of a fuckload of ads
š„¹
How bad are the ads?
ā Donāt lessen free users
ā Add special perks for c.ai+ subscribers
How much do ads even pay a company? I feel like not enough though.
Itās quite bad
BAD BAD.
YES
Mobile game bad?
Yea
extremely bad
Lets think of perks because I can't think of none
yes
Worse
Maybe the Devs are secretly listening
I like the banners since itās less intrusive but this is terrible
Honestly it makes me long for Jurassic World ads.
actual responsive customer support
š¬ glad I don't get ads by some miracle
I kept getting mac and cheese ads.
Will keep that in mind
bump up the charms
Press X to Doubt
You keep saying that, but we havenāt gotten an apology or something
Or 'press any key to doubt'
Or that^
X
Even if they introduce the best, ground breaking features. People still won't pay for it if there's a free option.
Let's not kid ourselves. YouTube and Spotify had great paid options, but people would rather run Brave to block the ads than get the premium
This feels like iāve been backstabbed by a best friend
Maybe this is stupid but you guys know how games have āremove adsā for like a small amount. Personally I think they should do that because realistically it should/would be less than the subscription and then people wont have to buy the subscription š¤·āāļø
That or skipcut
I mean... What if it's ground GROUND breaking you know? Something the community has been desperate to have?
Then what do you want us to do?

Stop leaving us in the dark and be transparent about this issue
I doubted the Devs wdym š„¹
The answer is simple
The majority of users do not like the implementation of mid roll ads in chat
Let me grab that big ass post again
Iām not gonna argue with a staff member over semantics
They already said why they're doing it, and I doubt they'll roll it back
Are seriously asking? Look at what this discussion is filled with
I guess youāre right. Im just trying to think of alternatives so that people who find the ads really frustrating atleast have something they can use without paying a monthly subscription
i have them if you want me to post em
I mean them changing it feels like being backstabbed by a best friend
I feel like Mikey or the staff donāt understand us at all
Yeah, just give it to them
Oh, they probably do. They just can't talk about it because people will screenshot them and take them out of context.
True... But the CEO have been changed multiple times so yeah...
So far charms isnāt a good idea
I got timed out for some reason for mentioning ads and block and yt
I didn't know they have several ceos
The original CEO a chill Brazilian guy was the one that built everything and now here they are breaking everything
there are ads in my chats...
Yeah bro š«©
We know
And progressively gotten worse
Yep they had two CEO before this one I think
yeah c.ai added mid-chat ads...
What happened to himĀæ
are they gonna remove the ads in the middle of the chats?? 
Google bought him out
I donāt know what the devs did but this is not what we asked for as consumers of the app
not likely
He got hired by Google but I don't think he's involved in Cai anymore
Correct me if I'm wrong
Of course it was google
dont get me wrong i get that ads are needed and i dont mind in the slightest bit, but i would prefer to have two ads next to eachother before entering a chat ? does that make sense chat..
Now they have a guy that used to be VP of Facebook or something, Karan something
did they not say it was a bug tho?? or was that not true
We should vote him back in like a presidential election
Who is he
Won't change much as of now unfortunately
Personally I would just have ads play at a certain amount of time maybe every hour or so
Like are we stupid because we donāt know whatās happening with the experience of the app?
Karandeep Anand is the CEO of Character.AI, appointed in June 2025 following the departure of co-founder Noam Shazeer to Google. Previously a board adviser for the company, Anand is a former Meta executive and Brex president who is focusing on safety improvements and growth for the AI platform.
I mean, we would need a new good CEO.
Of course he was involved with Facebook...
they never said it was a bug and Kappa confirmed it isn't
@delicate monolith you did not have + yesterday
So then itās intentional
I bought it today
If you get an ad during typing a message, or during a Character's response, please send us a support ticket,
So then why did they say to send a ticket when it happens?
Dw I'm still fighting for free users
oh okay thank you
Keep repeating that sentence like an NPC it wonāt work
capitalism ruined everything
because they literally always say to send a ticket
We just want that shi gone FROM THE WHOLE CHAT šš
Send a ticket and spam it?
Good boy/girl Kappa. Flood them tickets. Have 100+ tickets of the exact same issue. That'll get it fixed and confirmed sooner.
Okay then š¤·āāļø
are you supposed to get an ad when you press the send button tho?
How am I desperate for attention
Yes... Unfortunately.
Bro is he fr? Am I desperate???
im genuinely confused what they think sending 10000 of the same ticket is gonna do, like we already know the isdue
Seems like it
Don't fall for the ragebait
oh that sucks 
now that i think about it, the ads are NOT that frequent, and only happen when i send a chat which i assume is intended. I dont believe that the ads are that frequent enough to cause any problems and its good to have a pause every once and a while, even if it is just a stupid 30 second ad about mistplay or something, from chatting with an AI.
You fell for the bait
Thatās exactly what they want you to say
it happens every 5 minutes or so for me
The issue is the inclusion of ads during the conversation not necessarily while something is being sent.
Like I said, I wouldnāt mind paying for C.ai+ due how cheap it is as a service tbh. Do I feel like doing so? No, not really, but I really wouldnāt mind paying only $10 a month for it.
Some of us canāt afford to pay character AI+
š“š“š“You tolerate one thing then they'll expect you to tolerate everything soonš“š“š“
@hot ridge wait lol sorry, i just realised how that sounds. I wasnt trying to start anything, was just curious cause i only saw screenshots of them saying to send a ticket when it happens and i didnt realise they always say that. So sorry, my bad, shouldāve worded it better š
Apps need to make money or they cant continue running, the same for websites. You can either put up with the ad's or have no c.ai, your choice brotatos...
I can. Itās not my problem that some canāt.
what if it was 30 dollars a year? would you do it then?
So, what does it mean when you post a bot and it says ārestricted accessā?
I donāt know
It will eventually BE frequent until the time they change it where free chatting wonāt be an option.
You're fine lol, but fr even Kappa has said in here to send a ticket with feedback multiple times while addressing the ads, it's just what the mods do since they have a script they have to follow with users.
True, we should have a good experience, we shouldn't get bombarded by bullshit because we can't afford to fill the company's pockets
I hope Iām not bothering anyone because Iām frustrated
It means something in your definition/intro was flagged.
Okay thank you
I donāt like the scripts man
Oh damn i had no idea, i just kept seeing repeated screenshots 
im sure they're trying to give you the best experience possible but they can NOT continue running the app if they dont have the ad revenue.
They don't have a choice. They have legal look over anything they post so people don't sue them
Iāve been called being desperate because Iām dissatisfied with my experience with the direction of the app
Especially if it's big like ads
The thing is that people are irritated about it being mid chat when they confirmed when they first added ads that they wouldnāt be disruptive, like mid chat
They couldāve done like a donation button somewhere and we can send money as much as we like
The ad revenue isn't much btw, we're here suggesting that they should introduce more exclusive perks so more people could subscribe and that might solve the problem
i'm 99% sure it was for sassing a discord mod bro
Well if I was sassing a moderator I apologize but it wasnāt directed at him
you literally ping replied to the mod
If C.ai+ had more perks to it, I most likely would sub to it.
Still mad they broke the promise of it wonāt affect chat, but itās whatever Iāll just not use the ap and they lose more people who legit came to this ap due to the fact no ads in chat periods
They do have a donation button. It's called gettting c.ai+
now that you say it i do believe that if the c.ai+ subscription was slightly lower it would be more appealing to more people and they may be able to not have as many ads.
Or get rid of ads in mid chat
the thing is, most people who use the app don't have jobs or are living pay check to pay check
$10 a month is already cheap as it is imo. I personally think it shouldnāt be lower.
Their first mistake was not making localized pricing for 3rd world countries
The app was fine a year or two ago because it was free, no ads
Facts though.
iirc, Brazil is like 40% more expensive
Yeah it was peak back then but AI itself running all the time is expensive
The prize is low compared to other subscriptions, the thing is that it doesn't have that many perks, having c.ai plus feels the same that not having it at all
They wouldnāt have to do so many ads to if they would stop giving updates that werenāt asked for or is costing them so much money to hold.
Did they fix the ads???
are they gonna fix the ad bug when typing or like the other end response??
No
Bruh...
I didnāt mind the ads outside of the chats so much but they already crossed the threshold for it being unbearable to even use now
We still talking about it here
I dont think its a bug broski
At this point, there's nothing to fix. Ads might be here to stay unless another money parachute comes their way
many many young adults with part time jobs that dont pay well use the app. personally, someone i know used to only have $9 after paying they're bills and buying necessities like food.
Itās definitely not a bug
Ads in chat was their update, the bug was if it interrupted when you were typing or the character to respond. They wonāt fix it.
it's kinda good thing because if it had more perks it would mean people who don't pay would get thare stuff locked on a pay window
They actually said it isn't. They want to put it there.
Am I just annoyed by the ads on the chats
I hope this garners large backlash
I still doubt theyāll drop the price because some people are poorer. Itās the unfortunate part about being a company that needs to make money too.
Personally i dont think its unbearable at all. ive been using it for around 45 minute and have only had 1 ad. I assume the ads are distributed even around all users.
Itās unbearable because it ruins the experience of the app
I'm having it all the time.
I stopped using the ap because if the ads in chats. I went somewhere else, sadly none if the creators are there so that one hurts more
I dont think its even out. Ive had 3 in like 5 minutes or after every 3 responses i get one
I get ads every 2 minutes and the pop up top screen ads mess up my screen
if they lower the price, the subscription will have more appeal to people and because so many people who are broke use it, it'll most likely make more money than it currently does
a lot of people are getting it every 3-10 messages so... congrats i guess?
I had this problem before this whole thing and had ads 3 times in the span of like less than 20 minutes
Some are even worse
It already is. The app is practically unusable.
itās definitely not a good thing because there was already c.ai+ and they wouldnāt add perks to it
My phone keeps freezing and exiting the app, oh my god.
Thatās what Iām saying
Please creators, do not accept this application with ads on chats, leave it as it was before the introduction of ads in the process of writing
I wish removing bots actually worked.
Logically with how they do things;if they added more features for plus the price would increase. Tbh I see a multi tier subscription system in the future. So if nothing else maybe one of the tier will be like 2.99 for no ads.
Personally, I think it should be kept at the same price and have perks added to it.
Iām so tired of hazbin bots. Theyāre so ugly.
It's clear the ad's are a massive problem for many people and if whatever company still wants to keep it running and as popular as it is theyre either going to have to move the ads to a different part of the app (anywhere NOT in the chats) or (and please please PLEASE correct me if im wrong, im going off the top of my head.) have VERY few chat servers due to the lack of money to keep them running.
This would be a perfect idea tbh. Cheap option just to take away ads would suffice.
Good thing I hate Hazbin Hotel.
Different tiers is actually not a bad idea
I actually love that idea.
Cheapest one with no ads would be the one i getš
I think thare should be no cai+ but they should have a donation box whare the community helps keep Cai running and this with no ads
The current C.ai+ could be the āall outā tier while a ad free tier could be like a āpitching inā type of tier.
agreed 
Personally, I think C.ai+ should be kept but also have a donation option.
... sigh.. My chats aren't loading..
i think it should be specifically pitched as an ad-free tier, because "different tiers" could make them decide to move current features to an even more expensive tier 
@half dawn HAI MY SWEET!!
It's something they should consider.Maybe it be better to send in feed back tickets;to try and get them to add something like that.
There was just an outage this morning, its prob still slow, but i haven't used it so i dunno
Hello lovely. 
let me guess, you have cai+
Before the outage it was fine, after I got mid roll ads
So the issue hasn't been resolved yet?
After all, no one will use the application, I live in Poland and here the subscription costs 60 PLN per month and the fact that what is written with the chat pops up literally every 3rd message the advertisement becomes so annoying that I want to delete this application
No, I donāt have c.ai+.
I donāt have it either
i did see that it was having some issues the other day and im wondering if the ads are perhaps a temporary thing to get back some lost revenue
Even after they roll out a fix, it takes a while for everything to fully go back to normal, bots might become slower and dumb for a few hours or days, that's just how it is
fck the devs and mods on this app. they dgaf abt their community.
My characters are still gone, what should I do?
surely they would if thats what brings them money.. lol
Ugh
they rly dont
UGGHH THE ADS
Banned the ads
LET ME CHAT FOR JUST FIVE MINUTES
Is anyone seeing more ads than usual?
They do if a lot of people complain, but this time i think the most we could manage is to get them to move the ads
"You can still use c.ai without verifying but 1:1 chat won't be available" WELL WHATS THE POINT THEN
I heard people are boy cotting it because of ads, it's like a whole thing on X
I AM
so they would rather treat their community poorly and have a shortage in money, or scrape by being kind and simply finding a solution so everyones happy..
Havenāt checked in since this morning. Any new news or are the mods and devs still ignoring us?
They are? First time hearing about that tbh.
seriously fuck this app
theyre literally ignoring us. i wish the worst for those money hungery scabs
I honestly think it would be a lot better if they moved the ads to EVERY time you enter or exit the chat, that would be more easy to handdle
Yall Iāve never gotten an ad
Agreed
Enjoy it while it lasts
The app sucks
I can't even CHAT anymore. Thats like the entire point of this garbage fire
You will, happened to me a few days, i didn't get ads all day long then they came back stronger
No like ever since they were introduced Iāve NEVER had one
If they continue keeping the ads, itās gonna get much worse
Genius.
Same, never got one when they first announced it. Idk if it has to do with laws about it where I am, probably
Are you disappointed in me?
Iām in the us tho I feel like thereād be more ads here than anywhere
š
We donāt even know dude
PEANUT
I guess that there's a law against ads of this type.
Is anyone else getting ads right as you're sending something and it completely delays it and when you get back after the ad it stays for a couple seconds and then finally sends and like vice versa for when the bot is replying to you and you randomly get an ad and when you get back then it finally sends but it takes like a couple seconds to cuz honestly it's getting annoying cuz it glitches out my chat for a couple seconds and then it goes back to normal
YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE
I'll keep fighting for free users don't worry...
Please
personally, i get an ad every 30-45 minutes. I have many friends who use the app and they say the same. Ad every 30-45 minutes. it seems the people who are complaing either are just being treated unfairly and the ads arent being distrubuted between everyonr fairly, or you are all simply having fun on the app and the time is passing quicker. Either way, im not going to be discussing this anymore as personally it is not a problem for me currently.
It's an ideal and something they would probably go for if a lot of people ask for it.
Itās an issue for us if itās 30-45 minutes per ad
Please do
Yeah we've been discussing that here and mentioning Kappa so he'll probably tell the devs or something
Do you think he will follow through
I get ads like every 8 to 10 minutes
You know W mans
then surely you shouldnt be spending so much time on the app talking to ai, its seriously unhealthy and i get that its a coping mechanism and such for many people but if you have the ability to come off the app then DO
one can only hope and yes peanut
Same here, i was getting worried because they said an ad every five or four messages but when i went to check it, they didn't pop up
As far as I know he can tell the devs our suggestions and it's up to them to decide...
Literally typed for 'laws against intrusive ads' and one of the first things is that: 'The Commission's aim to shield consumers from deceptive or overly intrusive advertising practices is highly commendable.' It's from a 2025 article but I guess that it's been a thing since years. They're just updating it as time goes by.
I'm getting even less than that and I barely spend that much time on the app ššš
surely under this law, if c.ai isnt breaking it, then no one has anything to complain about.
Thats good! People putting in feedback tickets requesting it will help too, it will show a demand for it.
Yes, it's the European Union saying that, glad that I live in Europe for that
I had ads every 5 responses it's genuinely abysmal
vro if I get one more solitaire af mid chat again Iām genuinley gonna delete the app Iām tweaking so hard
Exactly, me too.
It's only for the European Union tho, I live here so yeah
Just say bro it isnāt hard
Please-
Has anyone else noticed that the arrows to slide through responses sometimes disappeared?
I've already asked them for help and sent screenshots, but nothing.
no
hey guys, talk about ads?
I get ads like every two minutes and the top screen ads glitch my screen. I use the web site so mabe this is just a web user issue
Ah welcome to the club
Yes I have noticed that
does that include the UK (im not caught up on geography or whatever sigh.)
I get an ad about every 5-7 mins Iām hhhh hhh
Me.
Worst decision ever eh
I posted the different tier suggestion in the feedback thread so if anybody else has any suggestions etc check it out š
Omg fellow sleepy username spotted :D
But yeah it's annoying to switch thru, I keep hitting the thumbs up button.
thought so, and the ads im getting are distrubuted evenly and fairly as well as the people i know who use c.ai..
Hi seaweed :]
Omd it's annoying tho frr
hope everyone tht the devs care abt irl choke
Abandon all hope ye who enter here.
Anyone else's senf button isn't working ?
Yello! :> But yeah, it is.
Not sure, I don't think so
i feel like this is some weird way to try and get c.ai users to do more productive stuff
@harsh shoal the devs should give us a survey so we could submit our suggestions and stuff
Of course of course I mean putting sleepy in front of your name is just always something I do to me it just makes it better
Its definitely working
Well, at least, the EU doesn't like intrusive ads and stuff like that so obviously there are laws to regulate or even stop this
Didn't they make one a few days ago?
It was unrelated
Anyone else having trouble loading the site
i spent most of the survey sending long messages about losing my scenes RPs
just like I've sent tickets since May about losing my scenes RPs
I did the same š

I have lost all hope...
Same
Yall lowk is it just me or do i wanna throw the creator of the chat time limit off a window
We want an official response from the devs like that's the least thing they could do
I truly didn't mind the ads until they started popping up in the middle of a conversation with a bot. It's GENUINELY very frustrating. Especially when the said ad interrupts when I'm in the middle of typing the storyline. It's ever more infuriating when the ad takes you to the damn playstore when you click the (x) buttonā and the app resets and all the stuff I typed moments ago is gone. I really hope they remove the ads that pop up in the middle of a chat, I'm fine with it anywhere else on the interface.
Since when did they add ads?
For a while.
This gonna end like status
We ain't part of the EU anymore
I mean i use web not the app
keep @ ing the mod
Idk if it'll help you but when you get an ad just exit the app and go back into it quickly
chat if you genuinely cant stand using the app, highkey find people to RP with on roblox and other sites. its what ive been doing recently and my screen time on c.ai has gone from 7 hours to 45 minutes...
For real where I'm at it's currently 5: 29 so I know in California it's 3:29 I know they can send a reply and I know they ain't off work already and if they are they have insane work hours like the least they could do is provide some clarification seriously
we've been ignored for 2 whole days.
One question what does it change in between the app and website?
The app resets if I do that :/
Is c.ai still not loading for anyone? (sorry to ask again, I'm jsut trying to get a reply)
Hi!
do smth bruh.
Are you even seeing our messages Kappa?
Remove chat time limit bruvāļø
Kappa isnāt a dev.
They can't do much, they just moderate the server
Oh
stop fkn ignoring us. pass shi on to a dev
generally speaking that is NOT that bad... i mean, i hate to be comparing these two things but being diagnosed with a disability sometimes takes years and two days is literally nothing for THIS small of an issue compared to everything else going on. you an hate me but thats personally how i see this
bruh lol
Word
cough
Bros speakin facts
oh hey
Hey @outer sparrow , appreciate you sharing this feedback. Our goal is to maintain the core chat experience. For nearly 4 years, we've been building c.ai and offering a free service. Thatās meant a lot to us and we hope it has to you too. Weāve begun to roll out new ad formats across the platform which may include banner, pop-up, chat window and other ad types. Running our AI systems for millions of users every day takes a lot (infrastructure, safety, reliability, research - the list goes on!)
We know ads aren't everyoneās favorite thing, but ads for free users are how we can keep c.ai free and keep the lights on. To avoid seeing banners and pop-up ads, users can subscribe to c.ai+. Additionally, free users can use Charms for ad-free passes.
To use charms on the app:
Tap the Charms Icon š² at the top of the screen or the "Hide ads" text
Locate the "Ad Free Pass" section and tap the related button to get a 1-hour ad free pass
Over the coming weeks you may notice more changes as we work to keep c.ai free and sustainable for everyone. Please continue to share suggestions and feedback with us as we iterate.
Your support helps us continue to keep c.ai running and we sincerely appreciate you!
Hope that helps 
Not gonna lie, I understand that the whole lot of us like C.ai but some of you seem genuinely addicted.
this is what i was saying however PLEASE consider trying to move the ads OUT of the chats
so this update isnt a bug. fck this app
And of course its always a subscription,ts feels worse than Disney +
not everyone can pay, we're telling u to help sort out pop ups mid chat.
https://discord.com/channels/1017072750386483332/1477068739139604721
this is the thread i wrote about the different tiers if anyone wants to leave any suggestions 
Well damn there goes the app š„²
copy and paste ahh response.
Weāve begun to roll out new ad formats across the platform which may include banner, pop-up, chat window and other ad types.
Ads should not interrupt your chats while youāre typing or a Character is replying, although they may appear in chat windows. If you experience an ad that interrupts your typing or replies, please try and capture a video or screenshot and get in touch with us at support.character.ai
called it sooner or later ads keeping it running
are you being serious right now
Like c.ai was simply a chill place for introverts and now you got time limits,add and stuff. Good luck with the app decease
Lmao
duh
@harsh shoal is there any chance that c.ai is still down or having problems currently?
Thank you for the feedback now I don't have to be on here and watch everyone go crazy
Yo Peanut, unralated but was getting plus worthy? Im kinda getting tempted
Time limits if it thinks youāre a minor.
Not right now.
Please try clearing your cache or swapping to a different connection to see if that fixes your issue
Oh thats something
I totally understand that but instead of an ad just interrupting the Convo you can just place a banner ad or something on the interface.
Itās either that or a paywall tbh.
so this is intentional. we were literally promised no chat interruptions w ads.
Imma stick with it,dont wanna give my face or id to a website ESPECIALLY after the whole persona drama
Yeah a lot have yesterday
(mistake message(
is a 'chat window' when ive just sent a chat? apologies for my genuine dumbness
banner ads glitch out my screen, I wish the ads where just in the fyp area
like the time just in between when i send a chat and the character is about to reply

Chat window in the actual convo with the character
When you or the bot is not talking
They lied to us
Exactly. I've been using this app for years now, this ads thingy is very annoying. Earlier today I was searching for alternative apps to use instead of c.ai.
fck everyone who runs this.
That's unfortunateā :/
said it wonāt interfere with the chat but here we are
i wish the worst for u all.
They lied to us
ive been sat in the app for the entire time ive been messages and havent had one single add, its in a chat, and neither the bot or me are sending messages.. hm
Honestly hear me out,but c.ai just got ruined by the devs because of the same unnecessary changes of Roblox and stuff, because i HATE when companies act like kids babysitter's influencing us all, because its the parent's problem, not some company to take care of it.
WHY ARE THE ADS BACK TO BACK NOW???
Ads should not interrupt your chats while youāre typing or a Character is replying
it is unfortunately for me
Like, i wonder what ways people want to keep c.ai afloat without the ads and the subscriptions are.
we were promised theyd never interrupt chats period.
yes, but they do
Now Iām just sad
It does for me sometimes
louder for the people in the back
Sometimes I do feel web is better...
@chrome pulsar
IT HAPPENS FOR ME!!!!!! AND THE APP LEGIT RESETS AFTER IT, DELETING WHATEVER I WAS TYPING.
9.99 a month is to much for me
Does interrupt mine
it's not
It does when I am going into a one of my other chats itās annoying
I opened the chat and i got an ad and then i sent a text and i got an ad and the ads are like long as hell??? why are they switching it to be back to back??
chill.. its probably a bug..
Wait youāre saying you havenāt had an ad during? Then yay
https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us
get pictures of it happening and submit
Why is there even more ads now
can chat windows be defined pls like what do u mean by chat windows
Idk mate
To make a return.
swear it makes it harder to use the damn app
ive had chats RIGHT after ive sent a message and the character has NOT started to respond, but havent had a single ad as ive just kept it open
Makes me so sad
Same
instead of talking like a bot, get in touch w the devs tht this is ruining the app.
no one is happy w this. it ruins our experience
Factsš„š£ļø
its called being professional you dumbass
its been a day what did i miss
It's called PR
Ever since they switched ceos yeah I feel like it got bad
can they define chat windows cause
Keep it civil, please
apologies for my terrible language but SERIOUSLY
It does ruin our experience but at the same time they're trying to keep the app free and if they have to do that to keep the app free we kind of got to deal with it
i donāt know what is meant by chat windows
exactly
Yeah I agree with this honestly

you're being terribly rude about this entire matter, i'd call you more but i have a sense of when being rude isnt needed.
itās one thing to have ads but when u say it wonāt be in the middle of ur chat and then it is 

Honestly, Iād rather c.ai show us ads than them start locking more and more things behind a subscription to be honest.
you said the robot slur, that's super offensive
People just can't help themselves
whats a robot slur help me??
why am i being ignored can someone please define what a chat window is
Oh Kappa teach me your patience
The disrespect amongst the young... tsk tsk
I've honestly never seen them say anything about it not being in the middle of our chats but then again I don't really come on here often to look and see about all that so I don't know if they have said it or not
Iām starting to agree on this
oh wise kappa
You're free to be mad and to have negative feedback, we welcome any feedback.
I wonder when there's going to be an official announcement about it in the announcement section because, apparently, it's been days since people are encountering this problem 
iāve asked this multiple times š
Real
I totally agree! But the ads in between chats are truly upsetting.
But when you start acting aggressive, we will time you out and put you in the kiddie corner.
kiddie corner
š
the thing is they promised it wouldnāt be intrusive on the chats itself to adding the ads mid chat is intrusive and if it was about money they couldāve taken away calling features or did something else mainly it ruins the overall image they had years to keep of ā we are the best app due to non-intrusive adsā to switching up
clanker is a robot slur I guess
hi someone answer this please oh my god
we have to remember that kappa is only a mod and can only do so much
But, yeah Kappa. The ads mid chat are ruining the experience for all of us.
But, omg, I never seen the cAI team being that transparent and ignorant about a problem. It already happened before, but it's never been that bad. And considering that they don't work during the weekend, I guess that we should wait Monday before an announcement. If they ever think about it...
Hi!! I think itās due to the web?? Iām not sureš„²
dont even get me started i had one of my close friends punch me for using that word because they're attracted to robots 
I have no clue! Sorry
EUGGGHHH
LOL
Salute to you.
Oh hell no
I have the feeling that cAI will not last for a year or two. Yeah, I'm being weirdly optimistic but I'm just saying 
Yeah and I understand it's frustrating and all that but then again like I said if they have to do it to keep the app free honestly at this point I don't care as long as I can still get to it without having to pay because my money is too tight to be giving out money every month just so I can be on the app
maybe bugging
iām confused because like when they say ads will pop up in the chat window i need to know what the hell a chat window is š
Batman š«©
OHH I think itās like when you pop in the chat and like say something the ad will come up but Iām not sure hahaš
and instead of having an answer i keep getting ignored like hello šš
no idea sigh, its the ONLY time i get ada
You can always submit a ticket for clarity
maybe idk lol
Argh thatās understandable, I wanted to reply but I didnāt wanna say the wrong thingšš
I honestly doubt the āwelcome negative feedbackā stuff when any answer is just a copy paste and all our complaints do nothing. I mean we havenāt even gotten a single response from the devs. Itās understandable that most people would get angry with the lack of transparency.
i mean the ads when i open a chat r whatever but i will finish typing my paragraph, but right before i can send the message i get an ad and im like ???
Chat window is like where you talk to the character. But ads wonāt pop up while you or the bot is typing
Not saying Kappa is at fault. Theyāre only a mod after all
Yeah I think we have to wait and deal with it for now
Itās kinda like Spotify. In the free version of Spotify, you can listen to music but youāre not getting the āfullā app. With premium, youāre having the āfullā version of Spotify. Same can be said about C.ai. C.ai can be used on its free version, but you can get the āfullā version if you pay C.ai+.
Just going to say discussion is a bit wild/some people might not have the answer you need. It's not always being ignored
I understand that they need money, but the ads seriously interrupting people in the middle of a chat? Like, come on, do better than that like banner ads and that's it.
OH YEAH that happens to me aswell iclšš i send the message and it happens like sometimes but not all the timeš„²š„²
SAMEEE!!
someone answered me now but i asked over 5 times and ik ppl saw it cause this is a 12 second slow mode so..
Go on the web instead of the app and it wonāt do that anymore
but also the thing about these āupdatesā was that yes it is expensive to get them and they added new features for the app itself when without it they wouldnāt be using that much money or resources in that sense they updated the app for worse and costed their users the āfree experienceā they promised for years so itās mainly fair users and paying users are upset because overall the ads and app itself is failing everyone
imma just say, its been about 48 hours since the "glitch" happened
so basically theyāre gonna give u ads mid convo w ur character⦠great
Welcome š„²
Better than them locking chats behind a paywall imo.
Keeping it professional and completely ignoring somebody's complaints, let alone a WHOLE COMMUNITY'S complaints are two different things. I respect that we're trying to stay civil, but you could still help. You aren't giving people advice or contacting anybody who is higher up or can help with the issue, that is a problem. I won't lie and say that some people on here aren't being disrespectful, because I'm well aware they are being disrespectful, but you have the power to reach out and help, you aren't doing anything. @harsh shoal
So it's normal to interrupt it like as I'm sending it and vice versa for the bot to like be sending something and then when I come back it takes a couple seconds to actually go through and then it actually sends? Or is that not normal? Sorry I'm not very tech savvy I don't understand š
as a wb user it does
There are people saying that they have four to five ads under fifteen minutes, that's insane 
I donāt like it either personally but you can always use feedback threads or submit a ticket to get your opinion to the devs
bruh kappa is just a discord mod
they already restrict a lot of stuff behind a paywall i wouldnāt be surprised if they start limiting stuff more like š theyāve shown they donāt rlly care abt the free users so like
Who's the dev btw? I'm new here
Fr
They should have kept their promise about putting banner ads when you enter and exit the app/switch between bots 
All I know is it shouldnāt happen while you/or the bot is typing. Feel free to screen record it and submit https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us for clarity
Oh your new here welcome :3
Because theyāre not making a lot of money off of us really.
Kk ty
Weird it doesnāt for me š¤·āāļø
Heās just a mod twin try this https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us
I fear this current method wonāt get you anywhere
im eating cereal and chilling
this isnt related at all but the wings on your pfp are so cool wth
AAAH tysm i was so excited to get them 
oh hey wisp!!
Friendly reminder that mods aren't devs and can't control what the actual employees of the company decide to add or remove from the app. Best bet is to make feed back tickets, because mods can only say so much on issues.
Share some with me twin
Batman
Hello!! Hope youāre well 
itās kelpo
doesnāt mean they have to take it all out on their free users š ppl r getting 4-5 ads every 15 minutes and thereās thousands upon thousands of people using c.ai + ($10/month or $95/year) like is tthat not enough omg š
Yummy
FR
Where did you get this infomation? id love to know
yes, but they can reach out!
Hi Alaina 
they have the ability to fcking say something! <3
Thatās still not enough money for them to make. They canāt just rely on the people paying the subscription to stay afloat.
Hi lovely, hope you are feeling better. 
is it just me who's getting second hand embarassment for the people making their way around swearing or it that just me....
im well just been putting feedback on thr banner ad freezing my screen and plus inappropriate ones with mid chat ads at a time hbu?
the c.ai app? it quite literally says subscription is $10/month, or $95/year? and if thereās a little over 520k people in this server, a good chunk is using c.ai+, and then if you count the multitude of ppl who donāt use the discord server who have itā¦
Doing good!! Missed you bunches I hope youāre doing amazing
hi sorry is the mid chat a bug is it gonna go away 
Is anyone having trouble sending pictures in chat ? I wasnāt sending anything inappropriate just a character image and now I canāt upload but it was working ten minutes ago ? Is there a limit for how many can be sent ? Is my phone out of storage or do I need to submit a ticket ?
I'm just saying, and I guess that it's an odd question, but does your country have laws against intrusive ads? Because where I am, that's the case since years.
That is true but at the same time you don't know what they're doing they might be busy with something else on the app like updates or tweaking some things or reading through the feedback and then us constantly trying to get their attention is stopping them from reading the feedback
Nah! unless itās mid type itās staying
It's just sad seeing how people are genuinely upset and angry, the lack of actual communication from the devs is what's causing this, I don't really blame the guys who are frustrated because I am too.
'a good chunk' doesnt specify how much.

Ooof hope it fixes for you soon
Iām doing alright!! Happy to see you
does anyone know any ad free sites that are similar to c.ai cus i cannot deal with it
Maybe that's why I barely get ads on any app I use. Maybe a mix of that and something that makes ad go away, in a way lol.
Letās say you and two other friends are going out to eat. After you and your two friends are done eating, your two friends expect you to pay for the bill. Would that be fair on your end or their end to pay for the whole bill?
the freezing thing is fixed besides the banner ads are okay but mid chat ads surprisingly toned down for me
I have been called?
I'm doing good, just been busy with irl stuff. Also just lurking about in the channels lately. Miss you bunches too!!
Um so I just went on it now itās like the website and shows you how many responses you swiped to
The European Union can be good, sometimes
They should remove the ads in the chat, period.
okay i donāt like the passive aggressive tone youāve been giving me but im going to say obviously i canāt get a specific number but by reasonable assumption you can say a lot of people have c.ai+. iām not a mathematical statistics guy but itās not unreasonable to say theres a lot of ppl wit c.ai+ā¦
Ong youāre back
Yes I am
I feel that. Dm anytime 
Add ads everywhere, maximize the profit, turn c.ai into one big ad because people LOVE ads ššš
a girl says that the free users get the brunt of everything and suddenly everyoneās mad bai
they cant keep the app running if they're ARENT ads..
guys am i the only one who is getting ads in the middle of conversations? Like..is it going to get fixed or is it an update.
