Hey friends,

Just wanted to take a moment to talk openly about some recent changes on the site. You’ve probably noticed that certain content has been removed, and I think it’s important to be real with you about why.

First off, this wasn’t something I decided on lightly. We know different people are drawn to different kinds of content, and there’s no shame in that. If you were here for the stuff that’s now gone, I see you—and there’s no judgment.

But over time, it became clear that some of that content was making certain members of the community uncomfortable. And honestly, that didn’t sit right with me. No one should feel like they have to pay for a site just to block out parts of it. You should be able to enjoy the whole space—not just the half that feels safe to you.

And with how far AI art has come—how real and powerful it’s getting—it was only a matter of time before lines started to blur, or even get crossed. I think deep down, I knew this moment was coming. That there’d be a point where I’d have to step back, take a hard look, and ask: is this crossing the line?

Today is that day.

I should’ve made this call sooner. And to those of you who stuck around, even when lines seemed blurred—Thanks.

I still want to stay right on the edge of what AI can do with art and video—pushing creativity forward—but I also know I have a responsibility to this community.

So yeah, things are changing. But I’m still here, and if this new direction feels good to you too, I’d love for you to stick around and see all that's to come.

Thanks for understanding. And thank you—truly—for being here.
