Did you know that the less people are using their electronic devices, because they are peeved at the apps they have, the less they’ll find out about news? That means controversial things will be ignored way more

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

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

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.

# cobalt walrus I guess that there's a law against ads of this type.

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 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) button— 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.

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. That’s meant a lot to us and we hope it has to you too. We’ve 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 everyone’s 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 šŸ„² 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 HYPERS_cai

Not gonna lie, I understand that the whole lot of us like C.ai but some of you seem genuinely addicted.

We’ve 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 you’re 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

It’s kinda like Spotify. In the free version of Spotify, you can listen to music but you’re not getting the ā€œfullā€ app. With premium, you’re having the ā€œfullā€ version of Spotify. Same can be said about C.ai. C.ai can be used on its free version, but you can get the ā€œfullā€ version if you pay C.ai+.

# potent stratus Yeah and I understand it's frustrating and all that but then again like I said i...

but also the thing about these ā€œupdatesā€ was that yes it is expensive to get them and they added new features for the app itself when without it they wouldn’t be using that much money or resources in that sense they updated the app for worse and costed their users the ā€œfree experienceā€ they promised for years so it’s mainly fair users and paying users are upset because overall the ads and app itself is failing everyone

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

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.

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
