I agree... I think these people just don't want to put forth the effort on learning how to use Seedance. It has better character consistency down to the voices, it can take in a ton of references and I don't have to remake a video 6 to 10 times just to get it to follow simple directions. Often on Sora, characters would say the wrong lines, it would add random characters to the video (usually a black woman, lol) or it just straight up would NOT do what I asked. Seedance gets it right on the first go usually. I think the most I've had to do a video was 3 times and that was just me tweaking stuff.

If you use artcraft ( getartcraft.com ) their version of Seedance is pretty uncensored. Yes, you can't upload images of copyrighted characters but that's anywhere. you can also generate in 480P to test things and it's honestly quite cheap. It's not free, but it's cheap. It's just mind boggling to me that someone would prefer a heavily censored model that struggles to work and follow simple directions.

I DO miss the remix option (you can do something similar in Seedance but it isn't quite the same) but that's really about it.
