Alright, the 4k followers are within reach, and maybe it’s time to speak up again. Things have moved surprisingly fast, and first of all, I want to thank all of you. It’s incredibly motivating to see so many people enjoy my images, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are all my inspiration, and I appreciate every reaction to my pictures, your tips, or even just a few kind words. Without you, none of this would work, and I’m so grateful to have met such a wonderful community. 😊
Civitai
I also want to thank Civitai for creating this amazing platform to generate and share images—even for NSFW content, which isn’t a given these days. On the other hand, I have to say that your communication is a disaster, and I really wish you would start presenting yourselves more professionally. I’ve been chasing a bug since December that’s being massively exploited, and yet I haven’t received even a single response to date. It’s also a shame that many measures you’ve taken seem to come at the expense of what is otherwise a fantastic community. I never understood Civitai Green—it just created a wedge. I can somewhat understand the whole yellow and blue buzzes situation, since you also want to make money, but in my personal opinion, that’s a stab in the heart of the community, which is your great strength compared to other sites. So, despite these issues, thank you, and I hope you’ll get this sorted out soon.
Your LoRa and Model Creators
Thank you also to all of you for your amazing work and the multitude of unique models and LoRas. A special shout-out to those that may not be used as frequently but still deliver fantastic work. With my images, I try to offer you a platform to show what’s possible beyond the popular files. Yet, I also see how limited my own influence is, and it’s always the same models and LoRas that get used. Stay optimistic and view your work as a lovely hobby. And if you ever create an awesome LoRa or model, I’m always open to trying it out (if I haven’t already).
On the other hand, please, don’t take yourselves too seriously. I can say for sure that I won’t use anything I can’t download myself. So far, I haven’t found anything I absolutely couldn’t do without. Please, don’t tear yourselves apart just to afford an extra bagel at the end of the day. See your work as a hobby, and complain on the platforms where your stolen work is published. After all, the whole concept of AI-generated images is based on sharing.
I believe none of you have actually obtained permission from the original image creators for the LoRas or models you make. And if someone has done that, feel free to reach out—I’ll acknowledge it. But in the end, it’s all about give and take. So please, don’t let others drive you crazy. I dare to say, cheekily, that everyone here, including me, is replaceable, and after a week, no one will be missed. 😉
Future Plans
I still have an immense amount of fun generating images—that’s my main focus. Right now, I’m less interested in Pony images, but Illustrious and FLUX are a lot of fun at the moment. That could change again in the future. I also have my gallery where I love featuring images from others, especially since it’s sometimes difficult to gain attention here. I’m also renewing my offer: if you believe in your images, suggest them to me—please, only new images, as older ones won’t be seen. There are now plenty of other galleries with amazing images where people put in the effort to collect them for you. Maybe you’ll take the time to follow my gallery or others, and not just leave your reactions randomly under ‘Most reactions of the day.’ After all, you expect great images of yours to be liked too. 😉
I have a hundred other ideas too, but right now, the current projects have me fully occupied. Refollowing, writing messages, sorting out gallery images—it takes me at least 1-2 hours daily. So we’ll see what comes next. But for me, it’s just a hobby anyway. 🙂
Conclusion
Please, don’t break your heads over a handful of dollars. Enjoy what you do—that’s the most important thing. Treat each other with respect, and no matter how much Civitai builds, they still offer you an amazing platform, and that’s something to be thankful for. Here’s to a successful 2025! 🎉
