So, imagine if 100,000 novices like my son are uploading to AS, what would be the result?

I'm guessing one important factor is as follows: - Many photos uploaded to Stock sites aren't super saleable....i.e. snapshots, nice landscapes....etc.. Generally with stock, photos with people in "interesting" locations (e.g. offices) sell better. For a photographer, that means hiring models with releases etc., and getting those interesting locations. For AI, it is no problem to include "people" as subjects in "interesting lcations". In general, with good prompts, AI can produce saleable images without having to hire actual models or travel to interesting or challenging locations as a photographer would have to do.
I've encouraged my 17 years old son to create photos using Midjourney for AS. He doesn't know anything about photography. He started uploading images to my AS account 3 months ago, here are the number of sales (remember he's novice):April: 27 salesMay: 51 salesJune (till 9): 28 salesHe now has 1500 files online (260 under review) and he's planning to upload 500 - 1000 images per month.I do videos mainly, but I have had around 300 images online for years, and he already exceeded my number of sales for images.I really feel sorry for photographers as they can't compete with the image quality created using Midjourney, it's just amazing.So, imagine if 100,000 novices like my son are uploading to AS, what would be the result?

Important is the choice of the subjects and the post processing. Anyway some of my AI generated images are performing very well with more than 50 downloads each and others are approaching...

I remember saw it in their licencing.

18 months from now he will make a lot more money. It takes time for customers to find the files, lightbox them, realise the project.These are early days.I hope he enjoys. the journey.
Quote from: MadPhotos on June 12, 2023, 13:07Don't you need to pay commission from sales to Midjourney? I remember saw it in their licencing.In order to "own" your output from Midjourney, you have to have a paid subscription plan - otherwise they own it. "If You are not a Paid Member, You dont own the Assets You create. Instead, Midjourney grants You a license to the Assets under the Creative Commons Noncommercial 4.0 Attribution International License (the Asset License)."You can see the plans they offer here:https://docs.midjourney.com/docs/plans"If you have subscribed at any point, you are free to use your images in just about any way you want. If you are a company making more than $1,000,000 USD in gross revenue per year, you must purchase the Pro plan. For complete details please see the Terms of Service"As noted above, I don't see anything in the terms of service about paying Midjourney, other than the subscription. They do note that if you're sued you're on your own (their words are different, but that's the gist of it)
How is the Basic Plan different from the Standard Plan? Which plan is best for us?

@gameovercongrats!Also trying to do more concepts. But I need a lot more experience to get them right.
