alternate boosting method.

yoish

from what i understand it is only possible for a person to boost one server at a time and for only one boost. i wish their was a way get boosts for a server outside of a nitro subscription, like charging 1 dollar per month per boost. i don't feel like people are likely to upgrade from classic or buy nitro outright just for this one feature, and while it is a nice bonus that they can now do it, i think making it a separate option would make people allot happier.

It may result in higher revenue for discord by both letting people who want to spend more money than the basic 10 be able to, allow people a cheaper option to support discord who see 50 a year as too much (also serving as a lower bar to get people comfortable with spending money on discord), and lastly would allow people who do not care for nitro perks themselves the option to spend money to benefit their community instead. 

personally I fall into the later category and would happily pay a couple dollars to get more emojis for my favorite server for example.

    actually, yeah I do greatly agree with this idea, if there was a way to pay for a boost only without nitro benefits or addons or something, kind of like how twitch prime includes the ability to sub, or you could sub for $5, i think this would be an amazing addition.

    I think they should be a 1 time fee and be able to make more than 1 server be able to be boosted

    This is a great idea to benefit small communities and users who don't want the other Nitro features. In the worst case scenario of them never giving new nitro classic subscribers boosts, this would also give them a way to boost a favorite server without jumping to double the price with nitro premium. This also would let Discord capitalize on currently lost revenue of a third group of users that flat out don't want or can't justify nitro classic being able to their community server(s) at a lower cost or by supporting more servers/levels but no self benefit.

    I'm hoping at least they offer an option for Nitro Classic users to get boosts. I don't really have a use for the game service right now, but I absolutely have a use for the boosts.
