It's just astonishing to me how difficult it still seems to be for the Midjourney team to develop a web site that amounts to little more than a textbox, a button, and an img tag.

I tried their new web experience, and... it's just broken. It doesn't work. There's a showcase of other people's work, and that's it. I can't click the text-box, it's greyed out. It says "subscribe to start creating", but there's is no "subscribe" button!

Mindblowing.



There's a theory that Midjourney didn't want to pay for image hosting (which they were getting for free from Discord).


That has got to be a rounding error in their finances in comparison to the GPU time required to generate the images in the first place.


That must have been a LOOONNG time ago, I've been a user of MJ since ~version 3 a couple years back - and I remember custom scraping my images way back in the day and they were coming from Google Cloud Storage, e.g.

https://storage.googleapis.com/dream-machines-output/378f0f1...


Images has been available on their website for quite some time.
