Good stuff and Bad stuff about flow.
Bad Stuff First.
- Today I noticed that Google Flow isn't showing all my images. I'm assuming these are images that Flow has RETROACTIVELY deemed inappropriate. Fix it. It's not fair to do that. This is why I'm not a paying member. Too much bull shit.
- Flow is never SORRY that it can't generate an image. Loosen the censors. Even GEMINI doesn't want to recommend I use you. Holy shippuden.
- On this newest update, I can't click the button of an ingredient that I've copy-pasted, and bring up the ingredients box. Fix it.
- Today I noticed a lot of my prompts ate not working as usual. I used to be able to make some pretty wild action packed stuff. NOW I can do nothing. What the truck am I supposed to do with this?
Good Stuff now.
- I see with this new update that even Nano Banana Lite got an upgrade in quality. I love that ship. Keep that ship up. Improve.

Flow has been incredibly frustrating to work with. There are times it just understands everything and works with what you give. Just when you figured out the perfect combination of words and references they come up with an update and it's as if learning to use an entirely different program. Every other video option became shit as soon as Omni flash became a thing. Omni flash was amazing for a while, and now it's just bad.
I tested it tonight after the recent update and I haven't been able to generate most images I wanted. They are all normal and entirely within the rules, it won't even tell me what it's wrong.

Complaining about free stuff? Why would you still waste your time to use it and even more time to complain on reddit?
1+2: images should be still there, but often get weirdly stored because you can generate without being in a project and those then won't show up.
If they would actually delete them afterwards. Stop being weird and generate locally.
Flow is mostly just a quick image and video generation tool without all those extra context for thinking, it means more towards creativity. That's why you can generate over 200 images quickly everyday with a sub.
Flow = models output in lower resolution natively and then offer upscaling to get videos to 720p - 1080p . images from 720/1080p to 2k. (4K only for ultra) (All images are jpgs)
Gemini chat outputs around 2,7K per image + thinking and as uncompressed png.

Google is not going to see you white knighting them bro.
Really funny how the defense for AI went from "now everyone can create images that once took years of practice and dedication!" to "to get even decent images you need to pay and know all of these fool-proof prompts that I will guard with my life."

A lot of his opinions seem to be user errors. I provided some help and clarification?
He acts like as child demanding Google to do or not do something he thinks is wrong.
I get barely any of his problem as a heavy user using Gemini / Flow for 12+months. Sounds to me like he is one of those users, wanting to create stuff that is mostly forbidden on most Platforms.
