Earn free AI video credits by watching and voting
The short answer
On StreamingWars every vote from a signed-in, email-confirmed account earns 0.25 credits, and watching both shorts at least 80% of the way before voting adds another 0.25. Quarters build up into whole credits, up to 40 credits a day. Credits pay for your own AI shorts at 50 credits per 15 seconds.

Do votes earn credits if I'm signed out?
No. You can vote signed out, but only signed-in votes from confirmed accounts earn.
Does it matter which short I vote for?
No. Either side earns the same. Vote for the one you genuinely prefer.
Why the 40-credit daily limit?
It keeps voting honest and stops people clicking blindly for credits.
