About Civitai
Civitai built a creator economy, then had to rebuild it around payment rules.
This feed is a monthly digest archive running from August 2024 to April 2025, with nothing newer — the most recent entry is over a year old, so none of it describes the product today. Across that arc Civitai added Flux, SD 3.5 and video generation to its generator, launched paid Early Access and creator compensation, and repeatedly reworked its Buzz currency. Alongside it ran a second thread: a PG-only Civitai.green site, a move from Stripe to Paddle, upload attestations, and metadata requirements on rated images.
