Discord to start showing ads in-app this week - Dexerto

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.

    Oh cool, ads to support developers on the game platform no one asked for. Aren’t some of these games behind a discord nitro subscription already?

    Edit: I’m convinced this is a joke:

    Those looking to complete the sponsored quests must stream themselves doing a task in Discord with at least one friend watching the broadcast.

      At least they used to be when I left discord. Its a dumpsterfire imo.
