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".
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.
You're not obligated to pay them if you don't want to.
These people are acting like every company that exists is somehow extracting money from them, even if they aren't actually paying for it. For someone to ask for money in return for a service is a straight insult to them lol.
Don't worry, I don't.
Oh sure.
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.
Look at my downvotes... People at bat for a soulless company, ignoring their shitty practices, all because they can't separate what they think is a good company from a bad one. Capitalism has them all.
Jesus christ, relax. Discord isnt some billion dollar revenue stream for people like Elon Musk. Last year it generated $130 million in revenue. The only money they make are from nitro subscribers, otherwise their entire platform is free for you to use. I dont know why you think Discord is a soulless company, especially considering it's not even publicly traded so doesn't have to bend to the will of shareholders.
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.
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
Haha the extra sound board slots are a nice perk too. Nothing as satisfying as the John Cena intro when something goes your way in a game.
...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
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.
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)
"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.
Imagine getting peer pressured because of emojis. Seriously if you dont want to shitpost with emojis, you're not missing anything.
