A Grief Bot Made Mourning Free, Then Charged the Bereaved to Skip Its Ads

The whole platform got built on lonely people pouring their guts out to a synthetic friend, and then somebody in a corner office discovered the magic word, monetization. Enter the ads, the usage caps, and the tighter guardrails bolted straight onto the intimacy, and the userbase reacted exactly like you would if your therapist paused mid-breakdown for a quick word from Geico. Few gestures honor a sacred parasocial bond like interrupting it to sell auto coverage, and your f*ucking AI made the call without one flicker of shame. PiunikaWeb on the Character.AI ad-and-limits revolt.
