I’m gutted at what’s happened to this site…for me it was arguably the best website i’ve ever used in 25+ years of using the internet…such a shame…I really hope that just for once somebody listens to the complaints & puts things back as they were,otherwise it’s useless to me.
This was my refuge for guilty/carnal pleasures. As someone who personally prefers the imaginary over the real thing, I kind of feel disabled/handicapped. The new model is overtly realistic with hideous mutated output, while the old one maintained a fine tuned balance between realistic and imaginary.
Same here,used to spend far too much time on here tbh,literally “simply” creating 1000s of images of what I wanted (in seconds) - now that’s all gone…it’s become slow & overcomplicated…it’s not worth the effort anymore…why not give users both options?
Because hosting an AI model is not free. To host both models at the same time would likely require additional cost.
Well,I would willingly pay for the old version.
Buying servers and bandwidth for long term will literally cost anyone worth of 2 mortgages in city centers, hardware costs are borderline ridiculous these days, let alone maintaining them for 24/7 in a air conditioned room. Those who provide the hosting services are robber barons - they weigh your needs and play the good buddy; and when you are completely reliant on them, then suddenly one day, the price hikes without a proper explanation, because shifting to another provider would cost downtime and extra $$ for file and model transfers.
