Midjourney V6: what owners actually say

Multiple owners express strong frustration at being forced to use Discord as the interface, calling it 'absurd' and saying they feel 'treated like an infant.' One user is 'desperate for another player' so they can take their money elsewhere.

Images are public by default, and making them private requires what owners call a 'hefty monthly fee.' This is noted as part of the trade-off for using the platform.

Multiple users report that searching 'Midjourney v6' or 'Midjourney blog' in Google surfaces unaffiliated phishing sites that mimic the real product. Midjourney's lack of an official blog or clear announcements makes this worse.

An owner asks when Midjourney will support DALL-E style interaction where you can reason about the generated image with the AI, rather than only re-engineering text prompts blindly.

One user reports spending many hours trying to recreate a specific room from memory, but the model couldn't understand scale, spatial relationships, or physical positioning.

Owners describe V6 as 'leaps ahead' of V5, which was itself considered a major technical feat, with noticeably improved photorealism and less of the 'shiny' look earlier versions produced.

The ability to generate readable, correct text within images is highlighted as a significant milestone and a 'big deal' for the update.

Owners praise SREF codes as a powerful feature for maintaining visual style consistency across generations, calling them 'incredibly helpful.'

Several owners appreciate that the Discord setup lets you see and learn from other users' prompts and results, providing inspiration when you run out of ideas or aren't sure how to prompt.

Users report replacing or reducing reliance on designers, using it for architectural visualization concepts, and translating ideas from their head into images quickly.
