Earlier quoted context omitted.

Does not google require a telephone number to create accounts nowadays? In some regions there are no anonymous SIM cards by law. (Temporary number services may not work well.)

Midjourney is a paid-only service anyway, you would need to enter your credit card, so no anonymity.

There do exist anonymous credit cards, paid with cash, for fixed relatively small amounts (e.g. ~100u. In Europe there are restrictions to these kind of payment methods - cards must be below, I believe, 150€).

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.

This is a interesting company to watch in the Gen AI space since they don't have all the same restrictions as the bigger companies. Crazy this took them so long, and also crazy that they got so far through a very confusing Discord experience.

Try creating something mocking Xi Jinping.

wait really? i'm not gonna sign up for midjourney but it's surprising to me that this would be restricted

Ideogram 2.0 was also released today, and it's nerfed (anatomy is lot worse than 1.0 now) just like StableDiffusion versions after 1.5 which is very disappointing. Well good thing we have Flux out in the open now, both midjourney releasing web version or ideogram releasing there 2.0 on the same day after 2 weeks of flux won't redeem them as much. Flux Dev is amazing, check what SD community is doing with it on https:…

Are there any publicly accessible Flux image generation services you may recommend to check out?

Check out https://www.freepik.com/pikaso you can try flux and flux realism

Midjourney is a paid-only service anyway, you would need to enter your credit card, so no anonymity.

The issue is you have to disclose your phone number to Google, not (just) to Midjourney, AND Google will know you use Midjourney.

There's too much unnecessary connected PII data generated by such mechanisms.

90%+ of Flux image generations will be done through Grok.
