No. The first time I SEE an advertisement, I'm removing Discord and telling my friends to find other paths. Fuck greedy morons selling my time against my will.
Would you pay for Discord? That is the problem everyone thinks everything is free but running stuff costs money.
I paid and still get peppered with their promotion. So I stopped paying, then if it gets worse I will uninstall and use the web app as you can block elements with the ad blockers. (so even site hosted stuff you can single out elements to block. )
edit: yeah, unfortunately I can't really just stop using it entirely, until my regular group server and some of the game's server move somewhere else.
