ive never seen this before vs i never see this before

The correct sentence is "I've never seen this before." The contraction "I've" is the short form of "I have," which is used to express an experience or lack of experience in the past. "I never see this before" is incorrect because the verb tense is not appropriate for expressing a past experience.
