    Good for them, make some money without shoving ads up our asses and still delivering a useful product. This sounds like good news to me if you like discord free without ads

      I’m inclined to agree. They have to make money somehow. Selling entirely optional stuff is about as unobtrusive as it gets.

      Admittedly, I’m not sure how successful that’s gonna be. I don’t really get the appeal of buying some of those things. But it doesn’t hurt me.

      I can at least see it working as a Patreon replacement. Lots of people using Patreon already use discord, so why not do it all in one place? Doesn’t change things for consumers one bit.
