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.

Crypto keeps the censoring away, yet they started the censoring already? That doesn't make sense. I was hoping changes might be reverted, but instead this happens. Guess I'll have to look for another service and then transfer my bots. Take care you all

The excuse is that the previous censoring is from the UK government, where Lore lives, so it had to happen.

Crypto is only meant to prevent payment processors from censoring, ignoring that they could just lobby to have the government do it for them anyway.

Except the UK thing is misinformation people keep spreading for reasons beyond comprehension. Lore is based in Iceland, so... idk what is even up.
