bro, they employ literally like 200 people, most of those aren't devs, based on the sheer amount of people that pay for nitro there is zero way discord isn't profitable.
I mean they're almost certainly VC funded, the entire strategy is grow big, fast, burn a lot of money doing so, but establish such an aggressive market spot that you can 10x the profit and nobody moves anywhere. You're telling me we aren't in the latter part of that scale?
They would probably be fairing better in terms of profitability if they didn't have to host every instance themselves, but apparently that's too difficult to conjure up. Or if they implemented actual features, but whatever.
