Bad ads declining content

This app used to be funny every now and then. Now itโ€™s hardly ever. Content has declined in quality and gotten dumber. Worst of all are the ads. If you ever wondered what sub-Temu quality marketing via AI slop looks like, by all means download this app.

Intrusive Adds

Content is not as good as it once was but still ok. Adds are intrusive to the point of closing the app.

Come on man

There are too many ads that are taking up so much space that they look like they are a part of the photo gallery
Ads are way too muchAds are way too much

Ad apocalypse

The app has been so overly filled with ads it's getting unbearable to use.

Used to be good

Ever since this app switched up it is not good. Bring back the old Chive!
