I don't pay for Nitro but I don't have a problem for people that do. Servers aren't free so it's that or ads.
I swear Lemmy is against paying for anything. So many freeloaders in this world.
MSN had animated emotes for free like two whole decades ago. MSN had unlimited size file transfers two decades ago, I've sent entire games to my friends on MSN. IRC networks haven't really starved for cash either.
I pay for YouTube Premium since it came out, Netflix, indirectly I'm paying for my emails, matrix, even lemmy.
With Discord, all your money gives you is... emotes and further vendor lock yourself into a proprietary Chinese company and looking good to toxic gamers by flexing those emotes and server boosters.
Gonna need a citation for this. Pretty sure they're a privately-held US company.
Technically Tencent was part of one of their most recent funding rounds but AFAIK they are far from a majority stakeholder, so it’s an incorrect claim.
