Discord to start showing ads in the coming week after resisting for almost a decade

https://www.neowin.net/news/discord-to-start-showing-ads-in-the-coming-week-after-resisting-for-almost-a-decade/

In an apparent effort to boost revenues, gaming social media startup Discord plans to implement ads into its free service. The step is expected in the coming days after 9 years of ad-free experience.

I don't think people on this sub use it, but it's great news for us. The worse it gets the likelier people move on.

It would’ve been very smart of them to have this ad change only affect business ownedchannels, and then open up a fee option for businesses to no longer have ads on their channel
