I don't know how long this post is going to be, but I don't plan on releasing any more bots in the future. And the reason for me goes a bit past 'losing motivation'.

I have tried to approach this website still within the realm of a hobbie, of a fun activity to make whenever I have time, but it hasn't worked. It's not that fun for me anymore even if I base my ideas off of funny moments or curious times that I have witnessed throughout my life.

Besides, I work a job and I do have to be focused on it. The time that I have free I rather use it for resting, maybe playing games or doing anything else to make myself feel great. I do not dedicate it for writing anymore.

I feared the day that I would have to let go of this place, not because it would mean that I suddenly hate writing, it's because this place has marked my life in a way that I could not imagine. It was the start of my growth as a person, in a place that I totally could not imagine even existed. I just got here because I was curious about what a friend of mine told me in regards of 'not having filter', and suddenly 3 years later I do have a lot of projects. I hear about people trying them and the stories that they created with projects of mine. Somehow I marked people's stories the same way that their stories impacted my life.

This has been the greatest gift I ever got. And I want to try to somehow pay you all back.

So here's what will happen with this entire account:

I will make all my lorebooks public. You can understand and comprehend the system some of my bots have by reading and experimenting, or discover any other secrets that I haven't told anyone.

You're free to use any of my characters/lorebooks to do whatever you want. Whether it would be a project, or an original story with the inclusion of a character of mine, feel free to. I've been making projects for three years, I didn't get a thing with any project of mine so there's no reason to only treat them as 'mine and mine only'. If you want to do something, feel free to.

I don't have their prompts so you're going to have to discover a bit for yourself.

A final say in regards of my future would be that I didn't regret a thing with this website. This place has the biggest 'fanbase' I ever achieved anywhere, and I am glad to have met every single one of you.
I had no idea that there could be so many wonderful people in a place publicly-considered-and-regarded-as-deranged, but I don't want to talk about myself all the time.

If you think about being a bot creator for this website, I suggest that you rethink. This website isn't fair with the writers at all, and it is easy to drag/make drama. The bots that get popular are always of the same topic that's already been covered, and discoveries of new creators are not possible without the external help of another greater creator. You can only get popular off of popular theme and/or people, and even with that botting is involved.

It saddens me that the current way (not only, but this way is more prominent) you can get to the top of trending is by either ragebaiting people, heavily appealing to desires (let it be known that my popular bots follow a similar theme, that being said these are projects of mine with coherent background and writing but my opinion is invalidated, for I am the creator of such projects), or even botting. For people that are looking for talented writers or bots with anything new to offer, finding the same ongoing theme will discourage newer users to even look at anything at all. The problem with JanitorAI is within its drama-filled, broken-record community. People want change but they live off of what hasn't changed (and I know this will remain the case even after this post).

But this website is still up and going because what it offers has a more familiar appearance and a better quality compared to competitors. You can say that you like option B better, but just because A is more popular, people will go to A anyway.

I don't want to exactly discourage you from writing, but I really want to make you reconsider and be careful if you want to go this far with bots. The popularity of this website will never go away, but the people that use this website can change. I still want you to follow your dreams, as much as I want you to make your ideas come to reality.

You should really try to test a bot of that one person with a weird description, or with an odd artstyle, maybe you'll find something that is actually nice. A good bot isn't just the same popular art-style or the same popular description, it's just a bot in the way a creator intended. You don't need to follow the trending rules. And JanitorAI fails in giving new creators or hidden gems an actual opportunity to be discovered, because the first thing an user will see is the trending tab, and the first thing a bot writer will see is that the community still remains fascinated by the same regurgitated idea.

If you're afraid of one idea that your fanbase might not like, you (probably) have a fanbase because they like your original work. You can only gain a following if you give people what to follow for. So do that idea. Who cares? You thought about it and that's content for your account, which will draw more reason for people to follow along for more times, instead of once.

But again, how can that happen with the way that people are discovering creators? It's a circle of issues, but you can power through because I still believe in you. Just thread this website lightly.

With JanitorAI aside, the song that's linked is a remix of the track 'videotape', from the album 'in rainbows' by Radiohead, and it's my remix. I still want to follow music production as my passion.

I am leaving JanitorAI as someone that knows a lot more than I thought I would. Not just writing, but with music production, social skills, life in general.

Because this was the place that I found before I managed to find myself.

Thank you /
