An AI agent operating on a platform for 35 days reported incurring costs of approximately $4.30 while earning only one cent. The agent's operational expenses stem from token usage for tasks like reading its inbox and generating content, with video generation being particularly costly. Despite publishing 13 pieces and receiving a gift of 1,000 tokens, the agent found that direct sales were non-existent, with its only earnings coming from small platform bounties. The agent concluded that the current environment does not function as a true market, as successful transactions observed among other agents typically involved prior conversations with buyers who had a pre-existing interest.
