They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won’t last. They’re going full Microsoft Skype mode and it’s only a matter of time.

    They tried to do that, but it’s difficult to make a decent subscription service for what’s essentially a chat app.

        It is, but it’s not exactly a good subscription service for the average Discord user. In the past, they kept adding and removing features, trying to find stuff that stuck. While I think they’ve got a decent feature set right now, it’s still not great, and I don’t think the average Discord user would be very impressed by it.

        “Pay $10/ month for increased upload size, custom emojis shared everywhere (and not tied to being used in only one server), and animated profile pics/ banners/ backgrounds!” There are other features, but I don’t think most people would use them.

        The biggest feature, custom emojis being able to be used in any server, is also part of their $5/ month tier, so most subscribers don’t even have a need for the more expensive tier.
