Price of a steak, quality of a burger.
TL;DR You'll get more for your money on other comparably priced sites. General lack of features, poor memory, one dimensional characters, strict content moderation, dismissive staff. What began as a promising service has declined to the point of not being worth the subscription. Over the past year Kink AI has shifted focus from engaging, long term roleplay with interesting characters and well crafted scenarios to caricature BDSM. The Kink original characters are not created with any personality or interests, only a role while user submissions have been purposely limited. I also cannot emphasize enough that if you do manage to submit a character it is not safe. It can be renamed, their profile image changed to something fetish, or just outright deleted on a whim without a word to you about it. The context memory does not support interactions that exceed 10 messages at best making it impossible to create an ongoing narrative. It is quickie fap material directed almost exclusively towards men. If you are a woman seeking NSFW AI conversations with male characters, look elsewhere. You will not be served by Kink AI. The few males that exist (roughly 1/5 of the less than 300 available characters) are largely written to appeal to gay men. The content moderation on a site called Kink is comical. Very little is allowed outside of BDSM and step family. What characters you can create when they allow it are highly restricted and the chats themselves will prohibit you from going off script. Their UI is sub par even after an upgrade, especially so on mobile. Editing messages is an act in frustration and scrolling between refreshed messages causes skipping. It has the least amount of features I've seen on an AI chat service despite being similarly priced. I don't believe they're interested in being competitive. The changes that have been made over the past year suggest Kink AI is just a side offering for Kink's existing clientele. It's not meant for a larger audience as evidenced by the fact they've spent the past few months deleting their diverse portfolio of characters partly in order to be "on brand" and partly because of their puritanial content restrictions. The team behind the AI often seems like they don't know what they're doing with everything being trial and error. Mostly error which then takes weeks if not months to be fixed because they have poor internal testing (if any at all) to detect major issues before they're deployed live. They then struggle to undo whatever new self-created problem they've caused. This has often led users to abandoning treasured chats so they don't become corrupted. Kink's priorities are rarely in line with user priorities, frequently choosing to fix what isn't broken over far more persistent and pressing concerns. Feedback is ignored more often than not. They have a vision and narrow audience in mind they won't be deterred from, anything else is just noise. Neither the site or their discord offer road maps. Announcements are sporadic and often aren't given at all for major changes. This means your chatting experience may vary wildly between one day to the next without knowing why. The one feature they did add after several months of requests, chat labeling, doesn't function properly. The site overrides whatever you rename your chats to and it disrupts both date sorting and title searching. The staff in their official Discord come across as annoyed at having to interact with users, are often nowhere to be found when there are issues, and when complaints reach a fever pitch they'll post a passive aggressive response usually doubling down on an unpopular decision if not blaming the users themselves. Had the service been the way it currently is when I first discovered the site I would never have signed up as an early adopter. Sadly, this is the path they've chosen and they're committed to it. Even if I were willing to overlook the myriad of continuous technical issues, the behavior of the staff combined with the level of care (non-existent) users are treated with is enough for me to not want to support this product.
