We're not far off really. I'd wager more people are using things like WhatsApp or Discord for calls, and there are ads baked into those.
There are ads in those?! Why the fuck are people putting up with that?
It's like youtube. If you wanna watch a video of something, it is most likely on there. Same as discord, if you wanna chat with your mates in a game or join any kind of geek topic centric community they are very likely to have a only a discord for that.
Granted there are options to fight the power such as freetube or vesktop on linux that allow you to use the services while exposing as little as possible of yourself, but you still have to in order to participate in most places.
I am just not interested in engaging with projects that exclusively use discord for their community, so I don't.
Doesn't feel like I'm missing out.
