I gave this a thumbs up for you giving Discord props on increasing their security.

Hopefully they'll make it so the billing security thing doesn't return data.
Literally just as he said "You probably have watched that amount of ads to even start this video..." And my brain went "wait there was no ads, strang-" an ad popped up.
I'm fine with this, as long as the ads aren't intrusive (and you know they will be cuz its discord), its more of an optional way to get nitro. You already know the kids are sitting on those survey apps tryna grind points for a $10 virtual giftcard to buy nitro with
@@chitohidara0459 I don't have a problem with it either, it helps Discord earn money, which is good for a company. But every company has an ad free subscription, like UA-cam and others that disables ads for those paying for the subscription. However for Discord Nitro subscribers to not even be able to disable the quest ads is pure greed. They're paying for the subscription and still getting ads it's cruel
The profile customization, if you want to get it to the same level as Steam’s, requires the monthly subscription to Nitro-and the most premium one at that-so only they benefit from the rewards for even completing them atp
People are defending discord like crazy in this comment section especially on those comments that said it like mobile games. I think most of the people who defending discord in here are young enough that they didn't knew mobile games used to be like that too. At first they don't force you to watch ads, but give an option to watch ads to give some perks like double reward, extra life, etc. But later, they forced you to watch ads. Sooner or later, discord will be like that too. It's all about the money.
@@thatkerimguy it might be more rewarding, but if optional ads really are more profitable, those mobile games won't switch to forced ads. some games even combine those two.
@@bagasfabianmaulana It depends on the business model for the game and its target audience. Forced ads are more profitable for kids because they will sit through them or tap them and download another ad-infested game. Optional ads are more profitable with older victims because they are more likely to just uninstall a game if they get a forced ad.

NTTS, discord is trying to many us socialise. When I opened Valorant, a pop-up appeared in the top-left saying “Want to play?” and prompted me to message a list of 5 people playing Valorant
As a programmer that designs systems to be secure, I've always found it absolutely insane that discord trusted the client to hide what is supposed to be "secret" channel data/info. It's taken them over 9 years to start implementing a fix. How anyone trusts a company that would make such an egregious mistake with any private data is beyond me. (looking at people who use their own discord server to "backup" their private files etc).
They’re just trying to normalize it and the benefits will soon outweigh the negatives . That’s kind of what they did with questions when they weren’t intrusive at first but now they are
I mean tbh they're doing this kinda thing the right way imo, like giving your users a reward in return for you getting payment from advertisers sounds like a great thing
