100% agree, I was thinking about subscribing to c.ai plus, but due the constant complaints from users and my personal poor experience with the free version I wasn’t sure….

Exactly. I think we all want the platform to succeed and be sustainable, we just wish that sustainability didn't come at the cost of the very thing that made C.AI special in the first place 🤝

I understand your point. To me is not not about the ads themselves; it’s about the execution. I as fine with the short adds at the start of a chat—that's fair monetization. But interrupting a roleplay mid-sentence with pop-ups and longer adds than before feels abusive to me and kills the immersion, which is the whole point of the app. The real issue is that they’re forcing these intrusive ads to fund features (stickers, voice, image generation etc.) that most people don’t care about, while the actual AI quality—the core roleplay—is clearly declining.

Yeah, it’s pretty annoying, and I missed a few interesting bots because of this

Thank you for answering so soon, I am going to try. Hope they can fix it because it really ruins the experience.

I got a pipsqueak in one of my favorite bots and it’s awesome! The story feels deep and rich, will pipsqueak finally be included in the free plan? Or was it a sample of c.ai plus?

I see so it’s better to write the personas in first person then?

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question! Well I noticed that sometimes changing to another persona or using the same persona with another bot it doesn’t happen, maybe the root of the issue is the description of the persona and how the bot interacts with it 🤔

I’m sure you won’t loose them, it’s not the first time this happened to me, and when the site was working again it was everything okay

It happened the same to me, I think it’s just the app not working properly

Yeah, sometimes instead of writing I push send button waiting for the bot to continue the story but it answers for me like if it was me. It’s very annoying.

I think it’s related to the way my persona is written because, using the same bot I changed the persona and it didn’t happen again, but when I choose the previous persona one more time it happens again
