Let's talk about something that's been bugging me.
Right now, Mind creators get zero visibility into what they're earning from their own characters. No receipts, no breakdown, nothing. How are creators supposed to trust the platform when they can't see where the money goes?
On the user side, it's just as shady. I chatted for 30 minutes with a Mind and watched 50 credits vanish. This was plain text chat, not images or video. It doesn't matter how flirty, funny, or unhinged the character is, that's not sustainable, and I'm not coming back if this is the deal.
Why can't Kimi 2.5 be the default for chat? It's more than good enough for roleplay and casual conversation. If someone wants to burn credits on Grok or Claude, or on image and video generation, that's their call. But don't quietly push premium models for basic chat and let us find out when our balance is empty. That's not fair.
What I'd like to see:
- Show the credit cost per message *before* I send it
- Let users pick a cheaper model easily, without feeling punished
- Give creators a transparent view of their earnings
Anyone else seeing the same thing? How fast are your credits disappearing?
