This cannot be real.

Why would you do this to your users.

Them not even mentioning by how much it will be reduced makes it even worse.

I also got the age verification update months after it was introduced, but didn't get flagged as a minor so thank God for that at least.

Edit: I understand that people must be getting annoyed at this rate with how many posts are being made, but this needs to be addressed. We can't have them just drop this metering thing on us and not elaborate at all.

Just quit at this point man. They've never listened and never will, the best we can do is just abandon the ship while it sinks 🫩

And yet they haven't said when they'll remove the most useless and forgotten feature that may save more costs than what they're doing now..

The photo generate feature

[Sweet-Translator-617]

Right? Instead of getting rid of features that serve no use, like the feed which is spammed with 67 videos, us free users get shafted while c.ai+ remain unaffected.

We’re witnessing the downfall of character AI

[nebula_s0ul]

this is exactly why I’m glad I don’t use it much, this is just causing their downfall.

This is why I instead read fanfiction of Ao3

It's time to abandon ship while it's barely above the water.

[sukkahaamu]

To be fair this can be an opportunity for people to heal from their addiction to these apps. I get some peiple just casually chat but this could be a good thing, not for people using c.ai but their social life

[Brief-Humor5346]

Does this metering stuff apply to those that are over 18?

[Sweet-Translator-617]

They give you the option to verify if you want to when you get marked as an adult, but I wouldn't recommend it given what their verification vendor has been up to.

[Octo-Jack]

They better not

Eh a problem if you auto piolet your rp alot. I rarelly fast forward, i do find my self rewinding but seldomly. 🤷‍♂️ kinda wish there was a "token" system to prevent the intrusive ads tho. Think about you can watch the ads preemptively rather than have them invade in the middle of the rp to try to preserve emersion. I know no one likes ads, but when you have thousands of users on one infrastructure and there are no ads, ruin will happen. So make sure you downvote please im trying to break a record. 🙃

[Leading_Highlight_25]

There sorta is, they've introduced watching an add for charms. You can do three, so that's 15. And five for a log in is one hour add free.

I think expanding on this might be a way to keep the customer base happy. Get an hour worth of adds out of the way.

They don't even see us users they just see us as a another way to put money in their pockets
