Comment on Enshittification Continues: Discord to begin showing advertisements on it's free platform

While I don’t disagree with the sentiment, the Discord Nitro subscription has been around for a long while. From what I’ve seen using the platform it seems relatively popular. I’d guess adding ads to the free tier is as much about enticing people onto the subscription (which presumably won’t have ads).

Ubtil they go to the Netflix model where users can experience both a subscription and ads at the same time.

  I doubt it. Video ads are worth a lot more. Unless they ad them to live streams Twitch style.

    That would be absolutely terrible

And Nitro isn’t exactly inexpensive either, or wasn’t last time I used Discord.
