If you’re reading this, I found you on the internet.

Sorry if I came off weird. It probably gets weirder.

A few months ago, Midjourney fixed their outdated explore feed and has kept rather quiet about the whole thing. I noticed, and one day happened upon the public account for one of the largest holding company agencies in the world, posting every comp their creative team was making as they were making it.

Then I found more. And more. And more.

After the search was re-indexed and fixed over Labor day, I’ve identified more than 100 advertising creatives and more than 20 creative agency’s shared accounts, all likely violating their NDA’s or otherwise airing their dirty laundry and unfinished comps. I will not be publishing the names of these people or agencies.

If you’re reading this, you’re one of them.

How to hide it

Long story short, you need to turn on stealth mode. This isn’t just messaging the discord bot or using the website, this requires the $60/month subscription.

I know, it sucks.

After upgrading, using the discord interface, type /settings and then select stealth mode. All your future images will be hidden from my prying eyes.

Using the web interface, select the settings icon to the right of the imagine bar, then turn on stealth.

Your past work

To hide all of your past work, upgrade the account then view your archive. Select all the images in question, then use the “more” menu to “unpublish” them.

Learn more from the Midjourney Documentation. It’s a real page turner.

 FAQs

  • Here's what Midjourney has to say about it:

    "We are building an open-by-default community focused on collective exploration and fun. If you have a need to opt-out of this and be private-by-default you can subscribe to the $60/mo pro plan and activate stealth generation with the `/stealth` command."

  • Because that's wrong.

  • Because people would lose their jobs. and that's wrong.

  • I hope if I had spinach in my teeth, you'd tell me. And I don't think I'm the only one looking.

  • New ideas, broadcast pre-vis, pitch comps, trade secrets, office fun, and so much more.
