Discord users are cancelling their Nitro after new mobile layout update::undefined
Discord offers subscriptions and micro transactions in a chat app. This is the future of everything thanks to people going “oh it’s not so bad”.
“oh, at least there are no ads”
except they’re shoving microtransaction ads literally everywhere.
Various practices that make you feel like you’re missing out by not buying nitro.
Profile decoration shop ads almost in every single place.
There’s even a dedicated nitro gift button on the message bar.What discord client are you using? Mine never hits me up for MTX’s. I know nitro is there, but there’s no intrusive pop ups.
Lol, remember when Discord had a birthday for 30 days?
Reminded me of that Jimmy Neutron episode.
I mean, they have to make some money some way…
And who determines how much money they need? Some c-suite asshole who wants a 3rd mansion?
Or the board of rich assholes who do nothing for the company but hold up their hands every quarter.
They’ll take as much as they can get while providing the bare-minimum in return.
It’s called “maximizing profit”, and a lot of people in this thread don’t seem to understand that.
You’re not obligated to pay them if you don’t want to.
Don’t worry, I don’t.
Oh sure.
I like nitro for the audio and stream quality benefits. It’s not much money and makes the experience with friends better.
Doesn’t seem much different than streaming services asking for more for 4k streaming.
Then they ask for a little more… Then a little more… This is why Netflix is $20/mo now because not enough people have the will to do without. These companies make you feel as if you’re missing out or that you can’t survive without their services, and when that happens they own you.
I have shit internet so the audio and stream quality does matter to me - its the universal emojis and sound board that keeps me paying. I’m not ashamed
…stream quality is fully controlled by client side.
you don’t need nitro for streaming at any quality you want to, just any client mod
Considering how much is free and how much of a better experience it is compared to competitors, yeah, it really is not so bad. The MTX boil down to a few cosmetics and ability to use more bandwidth (ability to upload bigger files, stream in 4K)
