Response to Max Mleiter, Pricing For The People

Absolutely agree — this new pricing model is diabolical. The tiered small/medium/large system is a complete black box. What exactly am I paying for? Why is one prompt 18 cents and another nearly 4x that, with zero clarity on why? It’s a joke.

And on top of that, v0 still keeps generating flawed outputs, forcing us to redo the same steps multiple times — and we’re the ones paying for it. How is it remotely acceptable that we’re burning through credits because the system can’t get things right? That’s not a premium service, that’s a broken product with a paywall slapped on top.

This isn’t just unfair — it’s a complete failure of transparency and user respect. If credits are being wasted due to system errors, we should be automatically refunded. I’m in the same boat: had to buy extra credits just to fight through v0’s mistakes.

This entire rollout needs to be scrapped and rethought. Until then, I fully support credit refunds for every wasted, repeated generation caused by the platform itself. Enough is enough.
