It's the best at what it does, but had been getting shitty in the way you described. However, it's free and they have to support it somehow. I'll put up with the nitro pushing and understand that's my cost of doing business. If they go public, I'll probably actively start looking for an alternative, because that always kills a product and it will for sure mean "AI" will be forced into it.

> It's the best at what it does… Locking data away from search engines so that unless you’re in that little fiefdom you don’t get the information.

This has let so many horrible free to play games off the hook while they literally make billions in profits and have astounding profit margins. Discord makes money. In a non hyper greed infested world, they could simply coast at the level of wealth they are at now, still making free money for their investors, paying their workers, and improving the service, without making peoples lives shittier. There is no reason to justify this shit.

discord recently did a survey about how users would react to adding AI in the options, you could say that you would be ok with ai if it was easily disabled and if it was marked i hope they follow the survey answers
