  1. Thank goodness, I almost got used to discord being a decent and usable application. Really looking forward to all the changes that will surely enrich shareholder value!

    This was kind of inevitable after they failed to secure an acquisition years back. Chat apps are notoriously difficult to monetize in the long term and they could not rely on venture capital forever

  3. Well, it was good while it lasted. Let me know what the next coat of paint we’re slapping on the concept of IRC is 

  4. Awesome, get ready for a slew of ads and a reduction in functionality, and subscriptions models.

    they finally ran out of money and will now use the last uptick of funds from the initial offering to pack their golden parachutes before it dies down, gets delisted and goes out of business (or sold for pennies on the dollar).

  6. Great, can’t wait for discord to be full of ads, more premium add-ons, and selling our data.
