> Engaging so directly with a highly critical audience is a minefield that you're navigating well.

They spent two months literally gaslighting this "critical audience" that this could not be happening and literally blaming users for using their vibe-coded slop exactly as advertised.

All the while all the official channels refused to acknowledge any problems.

Now the dissatisfaction and subscription cancellations have reached a point where they finally had to do something.

Examples of gaslighting on April 15th (the first 2 issues were "fixed" by April 10th according to the story):

No mention of anything like "hey, we just fixed two big issues, one that lasted over a month." Just casual replies to everybody like nothing is wrong and "oh there's an issue? just let us know we had no idea!"
