OK, I get it Civitai: The payment processes demanded a quarter of the content I make not be visible to users with X and XXX enabled (which has reduced some of my submissions to performance worse than ones I made for obsolete base models as a joke). Did they really require you purposefully go out of your way to lie and make the error message look like a generic 404 error though? Anyone can look at the source code and see the model page is still there, just hidden. It's also really annoying to any user who refreshes one these pages because it initially looks like a generic error page before it finishes loading.
