Free means free but Zoom Convert clearly doesn’t understand that. They let you upload your file, process it, make you wait… and only then hit you with a paywall. That’s not a free service, that’s a trap. If you’re going to charge, say so upfront. Don’t pretend it’s free just to get people to hand over their files and email details. Total waste of time. Misleading, deceptive, and absolutely not what they advertise
ElevenLabs is charging an absolute fortune, 99.00 a month and somehow the restrictions keep getting tighter every month. It’s like they want creators to pay premium prices for bargain‑bin access. The text to image feature? One hit and you’re done. That’s not a feature, that’s a tease. And if you want to use a reference image, forget it. That’s locked behind yet another paywall. Everything you click on feels like: “Nice try, now pay more.” It’s wild how AI companies think they can charge sky high prices while giving you less and less freedom. For what they’re asking, you could get every major streaming service and still have change left over, and at least those don’t lock you out after one use.
DeviantArt Core Membership: A Waste of Money and Trust I gave DeviantArt’s Core plan a full year. What did I get? A handful of broken promises, subpar tools, and a platform that feels more interested in upselling than supporting creators. AI Image Generation Is a Joke The AI tools are wildly inconsistent. Expect fantasy bleed, weapon creep, color drift, and anatomical errors galore. Even with strict briefs, the system ignores fidelity and emotional tone. If you’re building a canon-rich universe with technical precision, forget it. You’ll spend more time correcting failures than creating. Monetisation Is a Mirage DeviantArt claims you can earn by selling prints, offering subscriptions, or taking commissions. In reality, the marketplace is stagnant, visibility is algorithmically buried, and the tools are clunky. You’re not building a business, you’re shouting into the void. Core Perks Are Cosmetic at Best Priority support? Slow and generic. Advanced analytics? Shallow and useless. Customization? Dated and irrelevant. Nothing here enhances your workflow or visibility in any meaningful way. It’s a paywall around mediocrity. Stick to the Free Plan The free version gives you everything Core fails to improve, access to the community, ability to post, browse, and engage. Paying monthly or yearly for broken tools and empty promises is a mistake. Save your money and your patience.
