What's the point in the name "Character.ai" when you start removing characters just because of fear of being copyrighted? You can't even get any results just from typing a character's name because of your stupid little decision that literally contradicts the whole point of your crumbling site.
Majority of the bots in the search have been removed, and the only way to actually find them is by going into the profiles. Are you devs THAT scared of the thought of being copyrighted, even tho if some company wanted to copyright strike yall cuz of some character in your website that'd be pretty petty. Are you guys that much of cowards?
I really do wish this place got better though, honestly. Even if I only used if for some months just for some laughs and fun, I genuinely hope you devs would at some point listen to the community and fix a lot of the issues.
Also, remember that ai shouldn't be catered towards children. I'd say that they should be allowed to start using ai at the age of 14 or 15. Their minds are still developing, and having ai in their lives since the beginning would just completely ruin their brains and make them have a warped vision of life and what's real/what's fake. Also, a lot of the bots made in this place aren't really appropriate for children anyways. I've seen some wild and crazy stuff I'll tell ya. There's freaking yandere, 18+, violence, sometimes swearing, forced flirting, and "Erm, actually can I ask you a question" or "You're a feisty one, pwincess~", and even "smirks Ooo~ What a feisty one, you fucking doll" and also smirks again or bites earlobe (everytime i read it i'm like moistcr1tikal in one of those creepy text messages where he said "what am i reeeeaaaaadiiiiing?!") or "Fuck off. runs away "grabs your wrist you ain't getting away, princess doll."
