I Feel a Bit Cheated by the Credits System

I bought the lifetime subscription from BoingBoing when I read that subscribers get "a bunch" of credits when buying and "a whole lot more" every day. I'm not a power AI user (and then only to create fun images) and a veritable ton of credits seemed a good thing. Until I got here and found that the "cheapest" cost seems to be 9000 credits! I hesitate to use the phrase "rip off," bit it's close to my lips. Why not give us 17million credits? That sounds awesome---only to have each low-quality attempt cost 11million of those credits? (yes, I'm being snarky and sarcastic there...) Anyway, not all of us are rich and not all of us are well-versed in creating great prompts for images. To give a prompt and spend 9000 credits only to have the person's nose under his chin (or some other "not what I wanted" result) is a waste of my credits. Perhaps you could give new users a month or so of free usage to hone or skills. Or several DOZEN attempts to hon our skills. Or perhaps let us put in our prompt, and it generates an image with a big watermark across it (to prevent screen grabs) and then--once the image is what we want, we click a button, get THAT image without the watermark--THEN charge the 9000 credits. Or make THAT using that option one that charges 20,000 credits or some such. Give us (particularly us newbies) some VALUE for our credits. ...That's all. Thanks.
