They say :
> As of January 2025, Midjourney has nearly 20 million daily active users.
No, its the total number of users on the Discord server. Completely different than "daily active".
> assuming each user executes one prompt per hour in average
To be more realistic (most humans sleeping for a few hours each day...) it should be 24 prompts per day on average.
Sure, some users can make a lot of queries each day, but I don't see how a regular user would need 96 images each day.
So those figures makes no sense since they are based on wrong ones in the first place, and also completely irrealistic asumptions.
