  People shouldn't add insult to injury. Just because someone failed to do proper research and documentation doesn't make it ok for others to make the same mistake. People should lead by example, not by shunning.

  > I can't think of any other consumer SaaS provider that automatically answers my reflexive "how does this make money?" question. My reply was in response to the above quote and not whether they are currently profitable or not. Besides, a company being profitable at this very moment is actually not that relevant in the long term.

    > Besides, a company being profitable at this very moment is actually not that relevant in the long term. It’s pretty relevant, especially for a business that is 9 years old, and has no hardware R&D/manufacturing component.

They are apparently not profitable (yet): > Discord has raised a total of about $1 billion in funding. It has more than $700 million in cash on its balance sheet and the goal to become profitable this year, according to a person familiar with the matter. https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/11/24034705/discord-layoffs-17-percent-employees https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/11/24034705/discord-layoffs-...
