Still holding out for them to have a $10 a year tier with no added features. The $36 bucks a year entry fee is just too much.

Can someone here explain to me why so many free services directly jump to $3, $5 or $9.99 bucks a month? Why not $10 per year? Surely that's better than nothing?

Just call it supporter tier and that's it. I don't want any icons or upload limits either. I just want to not feel like a leech. ;)

Because 5 bucks a month is making way more money than 50 cents.

“sharpen our focus and improve the way we work together to bring more agility to our organization.”

Ahh yes, watching co-workers get laid off does wonders for improving the way you work together with the people still there.

It does make you work harder... at finding some other job:-P.

It's not like the management has let people, who still work there, add or fix anything. It's been nothing but Nitro promos, and animated profiles. Huge shame that people got laid off like this

God forbid they offer goods and services in exchange for money

The market decides. And the market seems to have decided that their goods and services are not worth exchanging for money.

Discord is one of the few companies that don't shove 3rd party ads down your throat. But they do advertise the hell out of nitro. And yeah, I don't find nitro interesting enough to pay that much.
