[58857] Online criticism of the profit model on X and the challenges in pricing AI tools
Content creators are calling for the addition of in-video ads on X to improve monetization, alongside a heated debate over the high costs of AI-based editing tools.
Call for a change in X's monetization model
Users and prominent content creators, including nikitabier and MoussaXG, are sharply criticizing the current reward system on the social network X. They argue, according to nikitabier, that the network must implement in-video ads similar to YouTube's model. "It makes no sense for creators to get millions of views without real monetization within the videos themselves," noted Nikitabier, adding that such a change would encourage the creation of higher-quality content.
At the same time, MoussaXG addressed the difficulties with the platform's algorithm, claiming that many projects do not receive proper exposure due to what he defined as a "catastrophic system."
The debate on the cost of AI-based creative tools
Alongside the debate about X, claims have surfaced from users regarding the high cost of editing and AI tools, as reported by the channel invideoOfficial. While the company showcases impressive results similar to the animated series Arcane, users point to a discrepancy between the subscription cost and actual credit consumption.
According to MoussaXG, the annual subscription for the Max plan costs about $89 and provides 390 credits, but creating a video just 40 seconds long can consume about 110 credits. Other users joined the criticism, emphasizing that despite the high quality of the tools, the economic model remains too expensive for independent creators.
