They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won't last. They're going full Microsoft Skype mode and it's only a matter of time.

So like.. Buy Nitro. Free services aren't free. You pay with money, data, or ads. Pick one or multiple.

Edit: Why are you booing me? I'm right. Discord isn't Peer to Peer so servers cost money. A lot of money. Get over yourselves and stop bitching about ads or pay for the shit you use.

    When they aren't losing money? They wouldn't unleash an optics nightmare for a few more dollars. Only answer is not enough people bought Nitro and with attitudes like yours, it makes sense.

    Yeah because they're typically hyper-paranoid about shit like if Discord knows if your keyboard is plugged in or not. I just don't get why the fuck people on the Discord community are allergic to supporting Discord. Everyone just wants free shit and it's getting old.
