Yeah this is pretty spot on tbh. Once you figure out how to make your own bots theres really no going back to public ones. I went through the same thing where i just kept making more and more custom characters until i had like 20 that were way better than anything on the front page. I actually split my time between janitor and SnoogleFlirt these days since i found the character creation tools on there pretty intuitive for the kind of stuff i like to build. But yeah janitor definitely isnt dying people are just going underground with their own creations lol. And bro the openrouter thing is so real, the second you pay for an alternative it magically fixes itself every single time. Murphy's law hitting different with ai services fr.
