Go Live - Viewer Limit

This is an infuriating limit on a genius idea that could practically make Discord a prime streaming service to a large group of people who actively want to watch.

10 people allowed to watch yet are allowed to listen when the point of tuning in to someones stream is to you know, WATCH them. 1080p 60fps sounds nice and all but it doesn't mean anything if theres a limit on who can even watch.

If you can lift this limit somehow, i.e, making it something you have to upgrade via Nitro to allow limitless, server boosting to allow 50 viewers and level 2 to allow limitless etc. there would be much higher incentive to invest in Nitro/Server boosting.

Please address this as soon as possible because it could potentially bring in lots of value for servers, Owners could stream art and games to their audiences directly, people can tune in and out. Boosting could add to the quality of the viewership. Not asking for twitch here, but something that can at least make GO LIVE feel like a blessing than this held-back idea full of potency for delivering information, because right now I'd rather just link people to an external service than bother using it.

Make this thing a dream, Discord.

I find it really heartbreaking that a streamer's worth is what quality a discord server shows all based on nitro boosting. This means more people will dog pile into a bigger server like a youtuber's or something rather than giving people who aren't media blowhorns a chance to build a tiny community with just simple quality. I honestly would like people to stay in my art streams and not see a garbage mess of pixels and instead my actual image.
