So now, to find recent bots, I have to search under popular and use the filter, which is VERY noticeable, to see the recent ones?

It was already difficult enough for a creator to get their bot noticed. Now what?

The "similar characters" thing doesn’t help either.

Unless the idea is for your bot to get used less and for your OWN BOT not to help boost your profile.

At least a “other bots from the same creator” section, right?

Then there's the “Creators” section.

According to Janitor:

“Based on who the people you follow also follow - surfacing smaller creators. Updated daily.”

Okay. Smaller creators. For 's sake. I got like 30 creators with 10k+ followers. Glad they're "small". only about 5 or just a few were actually under 1k.

So, did the interface change to encourage people to consume more bots from the homepage, push those already inflated "Trending" numbers even further, and make it so that smaller creators, who used to at least have some chance of getting visibility, now technically have to rely on people searching for them through the "Latest" category or digging deep into "Popular" to find less famous bots, or on one of their bots getting enough numbers for their profile to gain any visibility at all?

huh

And why so much focus on improving the interface? At the very least, I'd like to see something that improves our profiles, like a more organized CSS system, or something that actually makes it easier to decorate them. Or I don't know, maybe a way to customize your bot's card with colors or some extra decoration so it matches the character you're making. If they're going to put so much effort into improving the interface, why not add something like that too?
