They'll take as much as they can get while providing the bare-minimum in return.
It's called "maximizing profit", and a lot of people in this thread don't seem to understand that.
Look at my downvotes... People at bat for a soulless company, ignoring their shitty practices, all because they can't separate what they think is a good company from a bad one. Capitalism has them all.
Jesus christ, relax. Discord isnt some billion dollar revenue stream for people like Elon Musk. Last year it generated $130 million in revenue. The only money they make are from nitro subscribers, otherwise their entire platform is free for you to use. I dont know why you think Discord is a soulless company, especially considering it's not even publicly traded so doesn't have to bend to the will of shareholders.
