Touch grass for many i think!

"RIP Grok" is a trending sentiment among users following a series of major changes to the AI chatbot's accessibility and content policies in March 2026.

The outcry primarily stems from:

• Paywalling Free Features: Many users are declaring Grok "dead" because popular features like Grok Imagine (image generation) and video creation are no longer free. These capabilities are now restricted to X Premium subscribers or those on a $30/month plan, leading to a "mass exodus" of casual users.

• Increased Censorship: Long-time users are frustrated by a "moderation crunch" aimed at curbing the creation of NSFW content and non-consensual deepfakes. This follows intense scrutiny from EU privacy regulators and global headlines regarding the AI's ability to generate controversial imagery.

• Technical Glitches: Some users have reported a "dead" experience where even paid subscribers are unable to use the service due to bugs or outages, leading to speculation that the platform is broken.

• Competition: Critics argue that while xAI (Elon Musk's AI company) has tightened restrictions, other "uncensored" or free AI video generators are becoming better alternatives.
