From a later modification to the announcement not present originally[0], early access will be given to users that were uninterrupted Nitro subscribers before March 1st, too, which of course nobody could've predicted would result in this benefit, already an indication the migration was poorly thought out.

- prepend 3y agoWow, that’s even worse as it means people paid to skip the line. It’s weird that they are only rewarding historical nitro users rather than letting people pay now. Nitro is a weird product offering as it really seems like no benefit to paying. But people do.
- eximius 3y agoDisclaimer: I think this change is extremely dumb and alienating to their core users in a feeble attempt to fix a problem that doesn't exist. That said, you kind of identified why they're only rewarding historical nitro users. Because it is historical, the nitro users aren't paying to skip the line - they couldn't have, it was in the past before this was announced. Instead, they are saying "you were already paying for a feature involving the discriminator, which we're removing, so you are getting priority". Frankly, that is one of the very few things about this they are doing right.
- Zpalmtree 3y agoThere is clearly a benefit for paying its just a very expensive one.

- the_only_law 3y agoOh great, I’ve been using discord since it was in beta, but sadly my nitro got interrupted thanks to a lost card. Guess I won’t be seeing it soon.
