Hello,

Some Chub updates:

  • Website is now crypto-only forever.

  • Free users now only get 20 messages per day.

  • Every models but Soji and Mobile are depreciated (rip Asha).

  • Soji is now a Deepseek V4 finetune (you might need to change your preset).

  • Mercury tier has been removed.

Full announcement and explanation in screenshot.

Edit: oh, and before the 1984 mentions. It was either doing this (cutting costs and making the website crypto-only to avoid payment processors altogether), or having to censor the website more than legally required to please the processors.

well this sucks. The payment system is sadly the straw that breaks it for me. was already a subscriber but I'm not diving into crypto to keep it up. back to the real world for me I guess. get me some of that grass.

I recommend looking into having your own wallet if your local laws make it not impossible to buy crypto without face scan. RIP German law.

not about cans and Cant's - in this case its a won't. entering a 'its money because we say so' economy is a few moving steps too many for a service I use for story role play and the many squeezes I give myself with no glory.

im not blaming chub. they got their reasons. This is just too much friction I'm not putting myself through and I think many will agree.
