    I miss the early days of Discord. Nowadays it’s just a lot of advertising for their Nitro service.

    Not even their marketing videos are fun anymore. Why can’t they just bring Zencha back?

      You usually know a company is slowly going to shit when they start to be serious and stop doing fun in their products and ads. Then you know lawyers and shareholders and people who think you can only do business with a straight face started to take over the company. Which is just sad.

      As long as they don’t start adding actual third party adverts in their ‘free’ version, I don’t care how much they advertise Nitro.

      I mean, it’s a single notification that only comes up when you launch discord from scratch. It’s not really intrusive.

      I keep getting stressed about my trial running out, then remembering I didn’t start one, then reading closely and hating them bc it’s just my window to start a trial ending, the 10th window this month.
