Comment on The Akinator Genie

This is an ancient project. At some point in the past, I went to this site and it was intentionally broken by its developers, such that it would only guess from a small subset of possible targets, and if your character was outside of that, it would act like it knew the answer, but wouldn’t say unless you gave them money.
I don’t know if that’s changed since then, because that experience ruined it for me, and I won’t be going back there.

Money?? I’ve never seen that happen, at least not on the computer browser. This is the first time I hear about this.

I say “money”, but it was some sort of subscription. Like, become an X member and unlock the entire game sort of thing.

Okay. Well, I never saw any indications of this. The previous time I used Akinator maybe 1-2 months ago.

This was probably over 5 years ago.
