Midjourney AI Video vs. Ruvi: Who Pays Creators?

Midjourney has launched its first AI video generation model, which creates clips up to 21 seconds long for a monthly fee. What's interesting is that this closed model uses user input for training without compensating the creators. Meanwhile, a decentralized AI superapp called Ruvi pays contributors in $RUVI for the training value they provide. Ruvi's models, tuned on community data, are owned by the network, not a single platform. When you correct an output or rank a result within the Ruvi app, you earn $RUVI for the value created. This is funded by a 25% Ecosystem and Rewards allocation. The bottom line is that Midjourney keeps its video model closed and owned by one company, while Ruvi spreads ownership across the network that trains it. This structural difference highlights a shift in how value is distributed in the AI space.
