there are several reasons i left janitor ai, and ill list them all here for anyone that wants to know why on my profile.

1. jai was becoming a major addiction for me, to the point where i was spending around 15 hours a day just chatting with bots, not to mention the amount of money i wasted on openai and claude. i also noticed a change in the things i was attracted to. it went from cute slice-of-life content to darker, heavier subjects, and i was no longer comfortable with myself.

2. jai is something im ashamed of. being a creator was very... embarrassing for me. i told my closest friends and they even thought it was embarrassing, using it against me in arguments and it made me realize just how sad and lonely talking to ai bots for real comfort is. i thought jai would be a cure to my loneliness but it only made it worse because no matter how much you flesh out a bot, it could never replace real-world interaction with another human.

3. jai is too competitive. the things people can do with ai pfps and their massive communities is just something ill never be able to match up to, no matter how good my writing is, it wont match up to those who have incredible world-building skills and can use ai-generated images to assist with that. it was becoming exhausting and unhealthy for me to try to compete with them, and i couldn't help but compare myself to them.

those are just some of the reasons, but they are the most influential in what made me quit janitor. this was my first time being a known creator on ANY platform, and it was honestly an eye-opening experience, just because i never thought i could ever garner any kind of audience anywhere on the internet. im keeping my account open as an archive, but i dont ever plan on returning, so thank you for the memories, love, and support. thank you, thank you, thank you <3.
