Discord in March announced plans to launch the new ads, which it calls Sponsored Quests, and they will become part of the platform beginning in the coming week. The ads will be targeted to users based on their gameplay, age and geographic location data, and they will appear in the bottom left corner of users’ screens, said Peter Sellis, Discord’s senior vice president of product, in an interview.To earn rewards, users must stream themselves, completing an in-game task from the advertiser while at least one friend is watching. Users who watch their friends can then set off on quests of their own.

The only Sponsored Quest I’m interested in is a blowjob by Peter Sellis, lmao. There are myriad alternatives to discord. Their hamfisted attempt is gonna drive away users. Move your office away from San Fran or something if the budget is tight.
