Usage-centric business model 1. Usage-centric business model Even with a subscription, AI services charge for access to generation, not hosting. Providing preview links usable on third-party sites would incur additional costs for storage, security, and bandwidth, which are not included in standard subscriptions. 2. Lack of watermarking: a compromise Generated images are often delivered without a watermark to ensure their quality and usability. In return, platforms do not host them publicly to prevent them from being used without attribution or in unauthorized contexts. 3. Incompatibility with external CMS Sites like WordPress or other CMS (Content Management Systems) require direct links to files hosted on accessible servers. AI tools do not provide this type of link because their servers are not configured to continuously serve files to third parties.
