Please, add an initial cost to publish on FAB

Also lets admit, AI assets that are not flagged as AI is just dishonest, something should be done about it.

What’s gonna happen now? or What could be happen if everybody uploads 35K 2D or Generated 3d basic meshes? Future not looks bright.

What a dumb idea OP, Jesus Christ. It completely misses the point of solving the issue and doesn’t encourage small sellers to start selling on FAB at all.

$10USD or even $5USD, while might be pocket change to people on USA or Europe, it’s a days work to a lot of people around the world, might even be weeks or months in some poor countries. Doing that would only benefit the people that is already making quite a buck in the marketplace and make everyone else go to some other website to sell their stuff.

What they need is to outright IP BAN all AI slop from the marketplace and permaban the idiots doing that. Just punish the ones flooding the market with slop and not those who unfortunately can’t afford to pay for every little thing. What’s next? Barricading the website with a ‘invite only’ basis and charge monthly for access?

Raising prices is by no shape or form a way to encourage growth and a healthy environment. It’ll only encourage people to sell their stuff elsewhere and rip off everything that’s over here (which is already happening, btw). Asking for a fee is literally asking to the marketplace to die.

I am in favor of anything that results in better curation of content on the storefront. There’s too much low effort garbage, including things like blueprints that are specific to one type of project or require massive rebuilding to adapt to new projects. There’s no reason we should be forced to look at mass produced AI garbage, and there’s no reason they should be trying to sell us unpolished game systems that were just ripped from somebody’s pet project. Finish your product before uploading it please.

Currently FAB does not support regional pricing at all :frowning: . Sellers can set a price at X dollars and nothing else can be configured.
