We’re just free training data for their models. Once the training is finished, they’re gonna gradually ditch the B2C market and pivot to gov contracts. Especially given the upcoming IPO, the B2C business might actually be a liability.

I have to say, defending grok and xAI is basically playing on hard mode right now, but they still refuse to give up. Just look at this:

1, "Even with the current rate limits, Grok still gives you way more than other AI models! It's still a great deal!"

Learn the difference between transparent upfront pricing and a straight-up bait and switch.

2, "If you need more, just upgrade to SG heavy! Can't afford? You're broke!"

It's not about the money, it's about dignity. Just because you're a willing paypig doesn't mean everyone wants to be a corporate lapdog.

3, "xAI did nothing wrong! Grok was perfect before, but the abusers, lefties, Apple, and [insert an endless list of random groups here] ruined it for everyone!"

People who always make excuses have no balls. But people who voluntarily make excuses for a corporation? They chop off their own balls as a tribute, only to realize they don't know how to perform a transplant.

If you're thinking about using Grok for actual projects (like long videos), do yourself a favor and drop the idea right now. The constantly shifting moderation policies, fluctuating video quality, and random rate limits will absolutely drive you up the wall.

The worst part? All of these changes come completely out of nowhere. You get no heads-up and no explanations whatsoever. It constantly tanks your workflow and can flush all your previous hard work down the drain.

Something a lot of people didn't notice is that about a month ago, grok stealth-changed the output resolution (they messed with the aspect ratio). If you only generate one-off short videos, it’s whatever. But if you’re trying to stitch a lot of clips together for a long video, it's incredibly infuriating. It means you have to jump into Adobe Pr or whatever and do a bunch of tedious stretching and cropping just to make the old and new clips match up seamlessly.

Bottom line: Grok is currently nothing more than a toy that gets boring real quick. It has zero reliability to be used as an actual tool.

As for the shills still bending over backwards to defend Grok—honestly, you guys would thrive living in North Korea.
