I'm Unsubscribing

The biggest problem is AI—everything related to it. AI might very well spell the end for Notion in every sense. In my opinion, this is the stumbling block. Everything about it is bad.

What I'm trying to say is, tldr: it doesn't matter whether you like AI or not. These incidents (which have been going on for the past two months?) reveal a fundamental flaw in what Notion is all about, how the developers are playing around with it, how they're milking it for money—and what their real goals are. Think about it for yourself.

I'm canceling my subscription after ~six months of active use.

I’ve used Notion AI from time to time, so I know what I’m talking about:

1. Notion AI is too intrusive. The UI constantly changes to accommodate the use of models. The funny thing is that it’s impossible to create a workspace without models and all that bells and whistles. Technically, this is called coercion.

2. Notion AI recently took away the “effort” slider;
   Models like Sonnet 5 or GPT-6 are useless when working with text at the “medium” level or lower—their writing skills and feel for language really shine at higher effort levels (which is just a fact, lol).

3. Notion isn't humane
   The Claude Opus 5.5 model recently became available in Notion, and believe me, it’s great at understanding prose—perfect for brainstorming and discussing the weirdest, coolest ideas! But not in Notion.

Because they initially locked it behind yet another paywall. So, I bought a Business plan just to buy Notion Credits on top of it, so I could use a good, cost-effective model (Opus 5.5)?

As I understand it, they’ve fixed this, but it doesn’t make much difference: both I and others (I’m sure) will be jumping ship.

I don't want to offend or hurt anyone's feelings. I'm just expressing my opinion about a service to which I've spent about a thousand dollars.
