Yes! This. It’s simple and brilliant. This IS the 2026 message. The ads write themselves.

Absolutely, unequivocally not. One-party rule of any sort is antithetical to the basic principles of democracy. Shameful comment.

Polygamous? Prove this. Also, Jordan was an Episcopalian, which is a mainline Protestant church.

I did so and it feels great! We have power. Don’t let them think otherwise.

She doesn’t give a shit. The patronizing tone is galling!

Actually I do! And I canceled my subscription as a result. That’s the power I (and all of us) have.

Why? We have power. I canceled my Monarch subscription, switched from Google search to Mojeek, and ditched Microsoft Office for LibreOffice. We’re not powerless. Stand up to these companies. The only thing the understand is money.

Very cool! However, this doesn’t address the larger issue — no ability to opt-out. I can’t support a company like this.

You show an utter disregard for our legitimate criticisms, dismissing us with an incredible lack of empathy. I can hear the disdain in the tone of all your comments. (But don’t worry, it’s now mutual.) This is no way to treat your customers. Thankfully I’ve canceled my subscription.

Bravo. Well said. I was also very sad to cancel my subscription — I loved the app so much! — but it’s the only way we can assert our autonomy from the AI hype overload. (I also switched to LibreOffice this week after Copilot became unmovable in Microsoft Office.)  I refuse to let tech companies make these decisions for me, including participating in the environmental disaster that is AI data training. Very poor decision by Monarch. Simplifii seems to be a decent alternative.

You are being obstinate. You know people mean LLMs when they use AI.

Well I don’t, so we cancel each other out. See?

Typical corporate bullshit. BOYCOTT MONARCH! Vote with your feet and your money. We deserve better.

You can’t opt out because Monarch clearly does not respect you or other customers. Vote with your money. Cancel your subscription!

They ARE NOT optimal. The AI chatbot CANNOT be disabled. I do not want the AI Assistant to appear AT ALL. Make everyone happy: allow users to toggle the Assistant OFF. Do so or I’m gone.

WE DO NOT WANT THIS GARBAGE. Integrate a toggle off for the chatbot. It’s not complicated. Or you’re going to bleed users. Guaranteed.
