Discord is so good. I just can't imagine it can stay this good forever. My fear is that eventually it will be bought out and aggressively monetized.

- dancemethis 5y agoIt's not good. It's user hostile software.
- knownjorbist 5y agoOnly out-of-touch tech elitists on HN think this.
- throwaddzuzxd 5y agoAs someone who loves Discord, I'm curious why you'd think that, can you elaborate how it's user hostile?
- alpb 5y agoIf you're paying for Discord every month, it's actually fairly expensive. A lot of the good features unlock once people start boosting servers with Nitros and those aren't cheap either. So I'd assume they aren't bleeding cash left and right on infra costs. They might actually breaking even on the infra costs at least.
