frustrated with midjourney promotion

i don't feel comfortable paying much, if at all, for discord nitro if it's going to promote things that scrape data from artists without proper consent/credit/compensation as relevant. i've seen many, many artists express frustration and concern about midjourney, and i share their unease. unless trained on data from people who choose to opt in, it's unethical, it's art theft with extra steps.

people even easily take their plagiarism steps further and use prompts designed to copy specific artists' styles. this is appalling. discord shouldn't be encouraging this- they're signalling to artists that they don't respect their work. if the company won't support them, then i won't support the company. the chat bot was bad enough, but now this? please reconsider.
