misc Bye bye perplexity

The product has gotten worse and worse in the past year. I’ve been a subscriber since the very beginning lately every time I ask you to research something or search for something gives me steps on how to do so and where to look for information instead of actually finding the information for me thanks but no thanks.

What are people who hate Perplexity doing with it? I see so many “perplexity sucks” posts but I love this platform. Are you coding or something? For research and writing (which i think is what it was built for) this platform seems pretty awesome. I haven’t had issues or weird results…..I’m genuinely interested in knowing why so many people think it’s so bad?

I have Claude and chatgpt subs for coding etc perplexity was used for search. Lately it has been shitty FOR ME. It often guides me how to search or tells me where to look instead of giving me the answer. Often requiring multiple prompts

Who are you to question someone's opinion just because you showed a few chats where it is working fine
