In 2022, MidJourney was unstoppable. It was the go-to AI image generator, leveraging network effects, data-driven learning, and viral marketing to dominate the AI art space. But success in tech isn’t just about getting to the top—it’s about staying there. And that’s where MidJourney struggled.
So, what happened?
In this video, we break down:
✅ How MidJourney rose to dominance using startup growth strategies like piggybacking on existing platforms (Discord) and data network effects to improve its AI.
✅ Why Stable Diffusion’s open-source model created an unstoppable wave of customization and price disruption.
✅ How OpenAI killed the AI art learning curve by bundling DALL·E 3 into ChatGPT—just like Microsoft Teams overtook Slack.
✅ Why scaling beyond early adopters is one of the hardest challenges for startups—and how MidJourney’s reliance on Discord and complex prompts may have slowed its mainstream adoption.
MidJourney didn’t fail, but its momentum stalled. Can it make a comeback, or is it destined to fade into AI history?
