About Rudy's Re-Upload

Announcement Regarding Rudy Bot's Reupload

✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦

Hi everyone & my lovely readers,
I wanted to be transparent and clarify the recent reupload of my bot Rudy.

Earlier today, I noticed that Rudy was no longer appearing in the trending or tag views, and it was experiencing a significant slowdown in receiving new chats. After looking into it, I believe the bot may have been shadowbanned after someone reported the bot, possibly due to concerns around its initial message count (around 20k+ messages at launch).

Rudy was originally uploaded by converting one of my long-running private test bots, which had been actively used for testing prompts and LLMs since August 2025. I didn't know that using an older bot like this would carry over all previous messages and that the trending algorithm count those as part of the public ranking. I had already clarified this under the comments, but I understand how this could cause confusion or concern.

It’s never been my intention to manipulate or mislead anyone. Like any creator, I genuinely want my work to reach the right audience but always fairly. To respect the community and maintain a clean slate, I've chosen to private the previous version of Rudy and reupload him anew.

I deeply apologize for any inconvenience this causes, especially to those who were actively chatting with the old version in the last 24 hours, and to every reader who's left lovely feedback and shared how you interacted with Rudy (I read all of them!).

Huge shout out to these 338 readers who liked Rudy and 30k+ messages within 24 hours.
And all these comments below. Thank you so much!!

I hope you'll continue enjoying Rudy’s company in his reuploaded version, and I truly appreciate your understanding and support.

Thank you for hearing me out 💙
