They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won’t last. They’re going full Microsoft Skype mode and it’s only a matter of time.

    While I don’t disagree with the sentiment, the Discord Nitro subscription has been around for a long while. From what I’ve seen using the platform it seems relatively popular. I’d guess adding ads to the free tier is as much about enticing people onto the subscription (which presumably won’t have ads).

      Ubtil they go to the Netflix model where users can experience both a subscription and ads at the same time.

      And Nitro isn’t exactly inexpensive either, or wasn’t last time I used Discord.
