My biggest problem with Discord is it's a walled garden. So much info that's inaccessible to the rest of the world.
Yeah. Soon as I realized that at some point Discord either has to sell or IPO the platform was eventually going to deteriorate.
It’s already got some odd limitations. Character limits. Very tight file upload limit. And streaming limitations. But hey, Nitro/Boost fixes it.
Worse part? If most of the limitations were removed for the price of $1 or $2 a month it might be more acceptable (at least for me). $10 feels steep for nitro. When I see that price tag, it signals I might not be the target audience. Which is weird when I’m pretty sure I’m a subset of the target audience.
