You had people paying $5-10 a month to post tiny PNGs in chat and you threw it away with crypto
I'm not delusional enough to think that Nitro was ever good value for money, but I still paid it to support a company I believed in. After seeing y'all flirt with crypto and NFTs I'm never again going to believe in Discord. So I guess I hope you enjoy me using your servers for free for the rest of your rapidly bloating app's lifetime.

Nothing is ever truly free, almost everything has a price even to the user that doesn't pay anything.
Not to mention if you really considered it a problem but kept using the service that caused it, aren't you just contributing to that either way?-15 -
no seriously people paid them so much just for animated emojis and they destroy that for literally nothing!!

K.F. Discord supplements its server costs with Nitro subscriptions they've always been very clear about that using the service for free when they're not making income does cost them money. Which is why the ide afor most people is to cancel and continue to use it so they feel the pressure. They'd be running ads if engagement gave them money. Like tumblr does. They might make a little off of data selling, which sucks in its own right, but not enough to run discord.

Discord has recieved funding from investors in the past, searches online make me think that this is still the case to this day. I think for this reason alone they probably would be able to sustain it.
It's a company worth a few billion dollars, with over 100 million users monthly.
Not everyone will be convinced about someone's argument or simply don't/won't care about what Discord is doing, because despite all that, it's a platform that helps with connecting with people that have similar interests, to some, that is probably worth the sacrifice to be on a popular platform for enough people to stick around.
Discord is not Facebook in terms of popularity, but I wouldn't put it beyond them if there was something going on in the app considering it being closed source.
Companies can tell us they're not tracking us, they value our privacy or that we will not use your email, your phone number, any information or "datachunks" for profit, but then, how can we confirm that X company is truthful when many other people have said the same thing but then have shown that they simply do not care? Why should I believe in what Discord says?
Apple is a case in a carefully constructed narrative (especially since "privacy" has been a selling point of theirs), but no, they're just selective in wording and it turns out all you get is a phone proprietary software with no real guarantee that an app you install will truly respect it.

I stand by my opinion that even if you don't pay for Nitro but still use Discord, you are enabling them to go ahead with this.
