IRC didn't have integrated audio chats and media sharing. People want that in one place today. I don't like using discord to be honest. IRC had the same problem that content couldn't be crawled without logs, but the info here just as fleeting. I believe some content creators do not really make their lives easier when they decide to publish in discord channels. It might look like a lot of engagement compared to a forum or other online presence, but the discoverability is very bad and almost no content will leave the platform again.
