Higgsfield called "somewhat of a scam" by dev: low ceiling, engagement hacking
5le · x · 2026-09-25
Developer skeptrune says that after generating AI videos himself, Higgsfield feels "somewhat of a scam": a VC-backed company preying on young people via timeline engagement hacking, like a course bro at scale. He claims the ceiling of what's possible through its UI is very low and that the only practical way to generate at scale is via API endpoints and coding agents — though he concedes the tech's promise is real and a good API could capture huge value in AI video. The quote poster sarcastically hails Higgsfield's execution on "the largest TAM".
