> Midjourney is more popular because it takes zero technical know-how compared to SD
Both take zero technical knowledge to use the base models via first-party online hosts, but Midjourney is superior there.
SD offers a lot more capacity beyond what is available from the first-party online host, though, while with Midjourney, that’s where it begins and ends, there is nothing more.
> and doesn’t require a high-end gaming PC to run it.
Neither does SD (I use a couple-year-old business laptop with a 4GB Nvidia card; no sane person would call it a “highend gaming PC” to run A1111 locally, and there are options besides running it locally.)
