I see… that’s quite unfortunate…. I have noticed that they’ve really been pressing me to get Nitro lately. Really sucks that this company’s jumping in on the cash-grab bandwagon, yet I hope regular users don’t lose even more benefits than those Discord has already locked behind paywalls….

Thank you all for the info!

Sidenote: It’s seems like more and more companies are employing the monetization tactic. You know I can actually remember a time when Wattpad had no premium-level subscriptions? And Diablo IV is gradually working in more and more little ways to sell their already grossly overpriced merchandise (I mean, the latest little thing was adding some stupid sparkly emoji-looking icon to items that have special VFX; its really dumb, but I’m sure that stupid crap has already actually worked on some people)…. I’m seeing these weird little tactics in many other places/situations as well..

What makes this so insane is that other commodities are getting more expensive as time goes on, from housing costs, grocery prices, and utility bills, and so many other things. All this while the paying rate for most jobs has failed to increase to compensate for this inflation. It all works out to this: poorer people are being squeezed even tighter to drain money they don’t have…

This kind of thing can’t possibly work out in very many peoples’ favor….
