"oh, at least there are no ads"
except they're shoving microtransaction ads literally everywhere.
Various practices that make you feel like you're missing out by not buying nitro.
Profile decoration shop ads almost in every single place.

What discord client are you using? Mine never hits me up for MTX's. I know nitro is there, but there's no intrusive pop ups.

Lol, remember when Discord had a birthday for 30 days?

Reminded me of that Jimmy Neutron episode.
