The recent headlines saying "discord will be showing ads" is just intentionally misleading. No one even bothered to read the articles. They just saw the headline that agreed "discord bad" and didn't even question it.
Discord already has "ads" in different forms that are even more like ads than what those articles were talking about. They promote games and services as a "perk" for nitro. They also advertise all over for their paid stuff, like Nitro and profile decorations.
I opened Discord yesterday, seems like now they even have lootboxes, what the heck
I’m not sure if you’re doing a bit, but that was an April Fools’ joke.
You know what, they just seem so pushy lately about Nitro and stuff that I didn't even get the joke
That’s fair, I also fell for it originally. It was a pretty convincing prank, I really should be more suspicious on April 1st.
