Have you tried running your own install or do you just prefer MidJourney? I tried it out and yes, it does burn thru the image allotment fairly quickly, especially to someone who's new and trying to figure the thing out. They don't always tell you what counts against your credits. Well, if they did at the time I couldn't find it. I did like it, though not the hassle of searching all over the discord for wherever it would dump my stuff. But it's expensive, especially if you want the option to use your images commercially and if you wanted a private channel you'd have to be rich to afford it. Not to mention all the restrictions. I can see why they wouldn't want porn and the like on a public server but their banned words list is really over the top. Someone on reddit wanted a really BIG, fluffy cat and of course Maine Coons are known for their size and their floof. Put it in their prompt, hoping to get super-sized kitty and ... "Don't even try", they reported back. Equally amusing (not!) the phrase "no bra" is banned because of the PG even in private channel rule. But so is "no braid" because of course you can't type braid without b-r-a. And some folks think the TOS at places like Daz and R'osity are strict. At least here I can do fan art without hassle and nobody will automatically break out the ban hammer if I feel like posting a scene depicting the epic butt-kicking of Adolph Hitler by a sexy, bikini clad Black Panther. Or a Maine Coon cat.
