The Fast Hours take

Rory and Drew describe personalization as Midjourney's most powerful lever once tamed — stacking a trained profile on a mood board beats running either alone, and ranking 200 images produced an 'immediate jump' in hands, color and composition (Ep. 28, 37). Its recurring flaw is a stubborn color bias: profiles keep skewing blue-pink or cyan-magenta at high stylize, so hosts work around it with --exp or by running old V6 profiles on the V7 model instead (Ep. 38, 39, 54).

Receipts about Personalization

“I love everything about V7 outside of the personalization itself. So if I can get V7 quality using V6 personalization, sign me up for that.”
Drew Brucker Ep. 54 Why the V6-on-V7 personalization hack matters Play from 22:02
“This though feels like more of a aggregation of the things that I've liked in the Explore feed previously to me, if I had to take a guess … If the aesthetics, if I like the aesthetics, I usually heart it.”
Drew Brucker Ep. 47 How Drew's personalized Explore feed reflects taste, not subject Play from 6:55
“I run that up to 250, which I've been running a lot more of, and you kind of start to see where my personalization goes. It's like this blue and pink tint, and I don't like it.”
Drew Brucker Ep. 39 How his personalization profile tints images at high stylize Play from 21:09
“The first 200 images I rated, my images immediately got better. Hands got better, appendages got better. … And the more I keep ranking, the better my stuff keeps looking.”
Rory Flynn Ep. 37 Why ranking 200 personalization images changed his results Play from 17:41
“I'm feeling like I'm getting better success adding the personalization on top of the mood board. So I'm almost always running the mood board plus the personalization.”
Drew Brucker Ep. 28 Whether to run a mood board alone or stack it with personalization Play from 32:37
“when they turn personalization on, they're now getting more insight by crowdsourcing at scale. They just 10x'd whatever they were getting before, more than 10x'd.”
Drew Brucker Ep. 28 Midjourney turning personalization into crowdsourced training data at scale Play from 1:08:17
