Discord is one of the few companies that don’t shove 3rd party ads down your throat. But they do advertise the hell out of nitro. And yeah, I don’t find nitro interesting enough to pay that much.
I used to occasionally pay for nitro due to the same reasons and the decent privacy policy–until they changed it early last year (or was it '22?) There I did a 180 and am anti-Discord now.
The cost is worth the extra quality when working with others over screenshare etc. The community management features are useful. A large portion of my workflow is aided by discord and GitHub, both of whi h I pay for premium features.
I don’t expect them to provide these services for free considering the huge boost they give to productivity. Expecting them to be free is naive.
I would if their features worked consistently for me. If I’m paying a monthly subscription, the app better not have major bugs in the key features I use but with my hardware configuration, screensharing is a blurry stuttery mess, their mobile app is a complete shitshow that can’t even layout elements correctly or display the correct channel without having to restart the app every few seconds.
“Heres your hourly reminder to rent worthless garbage we want you to pay monthy for, per server”
God forbid they offer goods and services in exchange for money
The market decides. And the market seems to have decided that their goods and services are not worth exchanging for money.

There’s a difference between “offer” and “push”.
