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.

“Discord said users will be able to turn off the ads in their settings.”
usually at first you can do such, and later on, when a ceo wants more money, you then can buy that together with the new "pro" features actually nobody needs nor wants.
maybe better look for more stable solutions before they start acting like a broadcom ;-)
Sure, but you really expect that option to stay available for very long after 90% of users turn it off and ruin it's profitability?
For now. I'm quite sure that option will disappear at some point in the not too distant future.
