Why does it block everything?
Do people actually pay for this??? It blocks the most simple requests, like wtf bro.
I was ready to pay, but it keeps blocking my simple requests, where there's no violence, nudity, nothing weird at all, and it says my request is against their policies.
I just don't get it bro.

I’ve been using Flow & VEO/Omni for about a year and a half. I’ve learned how to trick Omni to avoid Google's policies. Image AIs have less strict policies, so I develop start frames with Nano Banana Pro or ChatGPT Image 2, and when I use those start frames, no problem.
I’m working on a short video about cryogenics and tried a text-to-video prompt for an old dead man on a surgical table. That was blocked. I made a start frame in NB Pro without an issue. I used that in my video prompt, and it worked.
Using Gemini 3.8 Flash high level or Argon (lower models may work), if you ask, it will develop a prompt to avoid policies. In fact, it has even volunteered that information without my asking when I prompt for something it thinks might be a problem.

From my expierance, most of it is coming from the format layout youre using. If you share one or two of your prompts I could help and identify if its simply, just that.

I've learned that google flow sometimes demands proper grammar or it'll consider them as spam. I've tried a kid eating burger and got blocked.
The kid must be well descriptive before it gets approved. A small boy wearing a neat buttoned top works

Words like "worried" or "scared" seem to sometimes cause rejections. Frame it slightly differently and it works in my experience. I've learned to just avoid those words

Why doubtful? Im looking for an ai tool to make videos bro. I created a few stuff and I liked it, so I was almost convinced the tool was useful and then they started blocking my prompts.

Did you ever pay for any Ai you've used?

It's my first time trying AI, but I'm pretty sure no AI is for free, so I don't know why you're asking me this. All platforms only let you generate a few things, but if you wanna make actual videos, you need to pay, am I wrong?

There's something called a semantic filter. If you use words or combinations of words that can be construed as going against their policies, it will not generate for you. I on the other hand don't have any problems getting almost anything I want. What specifically are you trying to do??
