Saw a Tencent News article, and the headline alone was packed with drama — price hikes, queues, complaints, getting overtaken. ByteDance is really putting Seedance through the wringer. Didn’t read the actual article, just want to chat based on those keywords in the headline.
Put those keywords together, and you basically get the classic headache of a hot product: demand’s too high, compute power can’t keep up, so you get queues; cost pressure forces a price hike, and users lose it; features slow down, and competitors catch up. Any product manager working on video models probably knows that feeling of being stuck between a rock and a hard place.
What I’m most curious about here is the queues and the price hike. For those of you who’ve actually used Seedance, how’s the experience right now? Is it genuinely laggy and overpriced, or is the headline just hyping it up? Would love to hear from real users.
