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.
I don’t use discord but I don’t think it’s a bad idea. Those servers costs money
They already can support them:
Discord generated $445 million revenue in 2022, an 42% increase year-on-year
They are getting greedy it has nothing to do with server cost
Revenue alone doesn’t mean much, how much was profit?
Tried to find net, didn’t find a lot of info on it but I also didn’t try very hard. If anyone finds I’m very curious what it is.
They’re not public anyone who’s seen it has signed an nda.
