Is Civitai becoming a paysite? Community frets as more LoRAs get locked behind buzz payments
q5sys · reddit · 2026-10-25
A Reddit post argues Civitai is drifting toward a paysite model, with more LoRAs and fine-tunes permanently locked behind buzz payments — a shift from the earlier time-delay system where resources eventually became free for everyone. The author distinguishes paid commissions from expecting strangers to pay for unsolicited work, and worries money-driven uploads will flood the community with low-quality content, eroding the sharing ethos of the SD community.
