  IRC is for people who participate in the internet. For them it isn't hard to host their own website or just use any of the innumberable image/video/whatever hosts and paste a link. Discord is for tech ignorant people who consume things pushed to them by companies over the internet. Bundling up everything into a centralized, proprietary package will go bad for the consumers eventually. But for now they'll trade away their freedom for convenience and enjoy it.

    I don't see the justification for speaking poorly of their users. Is convenience a bad thing now? Why do I want other image hosts hosting my images instead? What's the difference between putting them there and a chat platform from a privacy or centralization standpoint? I know for a fact many people use slack to trade images they don't want on the public net. So then I need to host a private image host too? That's a bit silly. IRC is a fine platform. That doesn't mean it's what everybody needs/wants.

      I'm not sure trading child porn is really a market any business trying to make it in the public world is chasing. There maybe a lot of money in it, but the laundering is going to chew into your revenues.
