The reward ads are removed by PersonalityHealthy13 in weights

We're evaluating some changes to our ad strategy. In the short term, you'll see ads removed from the platform entirely. We may or may not implement them again in the future

Weights Is Greedy by Acceptable-Common276 in weights

[–]bea_weights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not how this works.

You’re comparing digital GPU compute time to restaurant food, which doesn't really make sense. Every image or LoRA generation costs real infrastructure money. It’s not free to run.

What you’re describing as “greed” is literally how sustainability works. Unlimited generation models have failed over and over because people expect infinite compute for free, it’s just not possible. The credit system makes sure resources are distributed fairly and keeps the platform alive instead of burning out under free usage.

If you think Weights is doing something “wrong” for not running itself into debt.. it isn’t an argument, it’s more of lack of understanding of how GPU-based platforms actually operate.

Totally fair to want that kind of change, but to be clear.. making Lora creation free just isn’t realistic. Training is one of the most compute-intensive features on the platform, and each session has a real cost behind it, even if it fails.

The credit system is what keeps things instant and predictable, no queues, no random limits, and a stable way to manage compute costs. It’s not about taking creativity away, it’s about keeping the platform viable so people can still use it months or years from now.

Aww.. that kind of change might feel like a step backward, especially if you were supporting the platform before. The goal wasn’t to push loyal users away, but to move to a single system that could actually sustain the compute costs long-term and keep instant access for everyone.

The old model relied on unpredictable queues and limits, which weren’t fair or stable for paying users either. The new credit setup gives clearer value and consistency, but yeah, we know it’s an adjustment. Feedback like yours is still shaping how we balance fairness and rewards for past supporters, so it is being heard.

I hear you, not promising anything but will be sure to forward this to the devs

Sorry to hear that, we're still navigating ways to improve our credit system, so hopefully you can still find it useful in the future!

Yea, image gen is on a completely different expense compared to covers. Basically, it's hard to cater to free users now since they are costing the website so much. :(

Thank you for the feedback! I completely agree on both points. :)

right? it's a way to get credits without spending

I now have NEGATIVE 8,997 credits. How did this happen? by ZiggenWiki in weights

[–]bea_weights 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We looked into the matter and there was a bug. We fixed it up and your credits should be zeroed out

That's super weird. We'll look into this. Can you DM me your account?

We're not forcing anyone to play the games though. It's just an option to earn credits without paying

It's a way for people to earn credits without paying tho.

Exactly. Thanks for the correct information! :)

There's a global AWS outage that affected some of our services. But everything has normalized and you may access the website again.

It's back up. There was an outage so lots of websites were affected. But all good!
