Good but audio ads

Better than the web page with the pop ups and bugs, but the introduction of audio ads to the app enrages me. Canโ€™t use the app while listening to music I guess

Thatโ€™s unamerican

When the chive first came out, it was fun and lighthearted. Over time the propaganda became overwhelming present. Good to see you took a stand Chiveโ€ฆ just for profit over anyone of worth.

Is it a rule?

Is it a rule that this app MUST be broken in at least 1 way? Theyโ€™ll fix all the bugs,then miraculously create a new one. It has to be a joke.

Sold out

Too many annoying ads. Iโ€™m done. Should call it Jive.

hypocrisy

Love the community, hate that they take blood money to promote smoking while claiming to run a medical charity. They should fix their business instead of sacrificing their core values.
