Discord users are cancelling their Nitro after new mobile layout update::undefined
Imagine paying for Discord in the first place
I don't pay for Nitro but I don't have a problem for people that do. Servers aren't free so it's that or ads.
I swear Lemmy is against paying for anything. So many freeloaders in this world.
Lemmy and Reddit users are always simultaneously saying 'pay people a living wage!' while also saying 'no ads, and make it free forever'.
MSN had animated emotes for free like two whole decades ago. MSN had unlimited size file transfers two decades ago, I've sent entire games to my friends on MSN. IRC networks haven't really starved for cash either.
I pay for YouTube Premium since it came out, Netflix, indirectly I'm paying for my emails, matrix, even lemmy.
With Discord, all your money gives you is... emotes and further vendor lock yourself into a proprietary Chinese company and looking good to toxic gamers by flexing those emotes and server boosters.
And got discontinued one decade ago because it didn't have a viable business model. Discord is hoping to make a profit by charging for mostly frivolous premium features, which is one of the least evil business models I've seen in a while.
Yep. Don't pay? You aren't really giving up any actual functionality, just some fun things that don't have much of any impact on the functionality
Give it time. We all know why we're here on Lemmy.
Gonna need a citation for this. Pretty sure they're a privately-held US company.
The unlimited file size I can understand not allowing now. Userbase and file size is much bigger although storage prices are probably on par still.
Yea it makes sense in some cases
Most people can still use Discord for day to day stuff without ads. The extra features are mostly cosmetic, or things like better quality video/audio, which comes with increased load
Data tracking is probably still happening though
Ohh yes absolutely. Disco is a privacy nightmare.

Poor people crushed by insane cost of living and stagnant wage growth who can't afford spending hundreds of dollars in subscriptions for bullshit, you mean.
Wrong. They sell user data.
If you really believe that you should sue them and become a millionaire because their Privacy Policy explicitly states it doesn't
I pay when it's half off, mostly for streaming quality. Their full price is kind of insane.
I don't really get this take. If you don't like Discord Nitro, simply don't buy it. If you enjoy the features Nitro adds and don't mind paying the monthly fee, then buy it. I don't really understand what shaming people who pay for Nitro accomplishes.
