In early March 2024, Discord revealed that “sponsored quests”, or ads would be added to the platform to help “support game developers” through the popular chat app.

Discord didn’t initially share a release date, or even how they’re going to implement ads into Discord’s overall design, other than mentioning that the sponsored quests would “tastefully” be integrated.

A report from The Wall Street Journal claims that Discord’s sponsored quests will be landing on the platform this week, and will be displayed at the bottom left of the app.

    In addition, they’re forcing binding arbitration on anybody who doesn’t opt out.

    To opt out, you need to send an email within 30 days of the day they go into effect. They go into effect on April 15th so you have until May 15th to opt out.

    That means if you have a reason to sue Discord, you’re forbidden from doing it. Instead you’re required to use an arbitrator. Whatever they decide is official. But, don’t worry, even though Discord pays for the arbitrator and relies on them for repeat business, the arbitrator is definitely neutral.
