To be clear, I'm not going anywhere. For the moment at least. I still enjoy the community aspects of the site (what little is left of the community at least). I won't beat it to death, y'all know why. Allowing the paid members to generate NSFW with blue buzz was bad enough. It sucked getting worthless blue buzz compensation, but at least it was something. This latest money grab is unacceptable. Without compensation, there's no incentive to keep us going. I hope other small time, free member creators with follow suit (and it seems some already have), and I hope that some of the bigger names in the community will join in solidarity. There's still time for Justin to back peddle, but let's be honest, I have zero faith that Justin will pull his head out of his ass any time soon.
Anyway. I gave up on Civitai's on-site generator a month or so ago, opting for a better site with similar features as far as image generation goes, much less restrictive moderation, a much more reasonable membership price should I decide to go that route, and no on-site currency to deal with. I will still be periodically posting images I've generated there and sharing them with you all, and participating in some bounties (if the bounty creators don't do require metadata that Civitai can't read for some stupid reason). I enjoyed playing around, learning from mistakes, creating new concepts and making LoRAs out of them, but with no means of recuperating my losses from their exorbitant training costs, it's not worth it. I have data sets for at least half a dozen more models, but now I'm just going to sit on them.
