So the deepseek price increased finally happened using the official API. It’s now ridiculously expensive so I won’t be topping up with more credits in my account. Question is what now? Does anyone know of other proxies or providers or services that were as affordable as the official deepseek api? Would be nice if some options could be shared.

Well I posted this on the official subreddit, some of you might know. However, instead of the mods doing their job and fucking taking care of the problem, they decided to remove the post that I made that brought attention to people which I disagree with full stop, no hate to the official moderators wink wink, just don't agree with how they took care of the situation. So I guess making people aware of potential scams is against the rules now, even if its the right thing to do. Anyway, I'll just cross post here where hopefully the moderators will do the right thing and not remove something that brings attention to a potential fucking scam.

Just a heads up for anyone who cares.

There’s a character up right now that’s pure scam. The entire description is a sob story about needing money to save a kitten with an eye infection that the seller will supposedly kill. It links to a Kofi and begs for donations.

The bot itself is complete garbage (like 2 tokens of actual definition). The account has no other characters. The photos of the “kitten” are low-quality and heavily downscaled, and the Kofi profile picture is a completely different white cat. And I checked their socials from the kofi, and they literally have no other pictures of this supposed sick kitten. Pretty low.

When I called it out in the comments, the creator immediately started insulting instead of providing any proof.

I reported it and instantly got the “thanks, we reviewed it” message… and nothing happened. It’s still up.

If anyone wants to help get it taken down, report the character + the user. This kind of shit shouldn’t be allowed to sit on the site.

EDIT: If you see the comment i made (superfeel) and you're curious as to what they replied with, this is it

"Shut up, you bitchass gooner, nobody asked for your opinion. Get a life instead of gooning to whatever shit you see. Some of us are actually trying to save some innocent lives, unlike your pathetic self."

Having reviewed the evidence:

• Historical summaries successfully processed 9,000+ token conversations.
• Manual Memory accepts vastly larger entries.
• Current proxy summaries terminate at different points, ruling against a consistent hidden word/token cutoff.
• Proxy generation fails during Thoughts, before reaching the final answer.
• Janitor's own LLM independently exhibits a separate failure: Thoughts are written into Memory instead of the actual summary.
• Ordinary chat generation remains functional.
• The malfunction appeared after recent changes to the site.

VERDICT

The Court finds the Janitor AI Summary/Memory system GUILTY of an apparent regression/bug.

The prosecution has not established a secret summary token limit.

The defense has provided no convincing evidence that the historical behavior was intentionally replaced with a fixed restriction.

The precise technical cause remains unknown.

FINAL RULING

>

Not your model.

Not your 1M context.

Not your proxy.

Not Max Tokens = 0.

Not the Memory field.

The damn machinery behind the feature is tweaking.

Case: The People vs. Janitor AI Memory

Verdict: BUG.

Sentence: Explain yourself to the users.

Has anyone else noticed how the weekly trending page is filled with botted slop, except for Moistcrow’s bots and a few others? Has the site really gone downhill over the past few months? Did all the good creators leave, or are they just taking a break? Recommend me to some good creators who are genuinely good

Not asking about a random 20-message RP.

I mean genuinely using one bot consistently like an AI girlfriend, talking every day, building a relationship/story together, remembering events, having normal conversations, etc.

Does Janitor AI work well for that?

Or does the memory eventually ruin it?

I’m curious because most Janitor AI discussions are about bots, proxies and models…

…but surprisingly few people talk about using it as an actual AI companion.

I just saw how they threw hate at a creator because he put a tag of any pov, but in the message he implied that he was a boy just because he used the men's bathroom, it wasn't even that the message was fully written to refer to a boy it was just a bathroom, and people were so upset throwing hate at him in the comments acting unbearable, people are really so exaggerated, you are talking to an AI who does what you want, just ask her to redo the message with feminine pronouns it shouldn't even take 5 minutes

I made a post about it before, but the alternates were too low, I need more that doesn't hard-cap on memory than j.ai please, I'm fine with importing characters too, even if it's the last thing I do to escape the memory limit and bs problems in jai
