Although I suspect Discord is still some way from profitability, it's monetisation strategy seems to be working well (charge subscription for premium membership with small features like custom emojis, animated profile pics, better audio quality). A surprising amount of people go for it.
Telegram has many nerdy hobby communities which could buy the cosmetics or whatever and subsidise the service for the normal users.
