I used to assume better models = more demand. Simple math right?

But lately I’ve noticed something weird. The people who keep coming back to @OpenGradient aren’t chasing every new model drop. They’re not FOMO-ing over the next release.

They just… stay. Because the workflow gets out of their way. Less tab-switching. Less worrying about privacy. Less compromise.

So maybe it’s not a model quality war. Maybe it’s a friction war. Private chats Claude Fable 5 uncensored Nous Hermes… all in one place. Suddenly coming back isn’t about novelty. It’s just continuity. It’s easier.

I don’t know if that sticks though. Does removing friction actually build habits that last? Or does convenience fade into the background, and then people drift to whatever’s new again?

That’s what I’m watching. Not the daily hype spikes. Whether tiny reductions in friction slowly turn into real durable demand.
