Creator claims no AI video platform makes money: Sora shut down, Grok Imagine layoffs
AIandDesign · x · 2026-11-15
Creator @RadTV posted a long thread (amplified by @AIandDesign) claiming generative AI video platforms are all sales pitches with none making money: creator payout programs have ended as platforms burn cash subsidizing tokens, Sora has shut down entirely, Grok Imagine laid off staff amid rumors the project is dead, and a major AI video platform quietly reached out to their team. A sign the subsidy-driven growth model in AI video is faltering.
