The ad-free days of Discord are dashed.

    Its shitty that there are ads

    i mean there has to be a way to fund the business. ads are fine as long as there is a way to remove them through options or paying a reasonable fee.

      The setting says “If you opt out you might still see Quest promotions, but they won’t be personalized to your activity”. I’m on Nitro Basic (The 3 dollar a month plan.) and I don’t see any method for disabling them completely.

        I pay for Nitro yearly to the tune of $15 a month and the ads cannot be disabled, only hidden after they come up.

        So yeah, I’ve cancelled my subscription, this is only going to get worse, especially once they’re completely beholden to shareholders.

          Huh? I’ve disabled quests entirely on my desktop. I don’t see them AT ALL.

          I’m not sure about mobile because I’m on a very outdated version.

          Yeahhh ive supported discord for about 5 years now with full nitro and if they’re going to show me ads no matter what then I’m canceling right now.

          I had hope when they rejected Microsoft’s offer. But they were just waiting for the bigger fish.

      They already offer a subscription service. And on top of that they have not-so-microtransactions in their shop.
