Personally, Discord has facilitated a long distance relationship with my now wife, and nearly ten years of weekly TTRPG games. I don’t mind the cost because they cannot provide that service for free forever, and I think it’s worth it for what I get out of it. The other benefits they add for paying are almost just bonuses to me after that.
personally the $3 a month nitro is worth it for me, considering how much I use it. I know Lemmy hates anything capitalist but a coffee a month isnt that much
Never understood why anyone would want to pay 100$ a year for discord, the paid version doesnt give you that much imo

you could also pay to host some shit like mumble.
Mumble does not look like a replacement for all the things I use Discord for.
You don’t wanna pay $100 for a bunch of useless stickers and random features that don’t need to be in a chat program? Whaaaaaat? That’s weird. /s
Which is a good monetation system. Premium users barely get anything but still enough to pay, while free users can do pretty much everything too.
I pay $30 a year for Nitro Basic. It’s only $2.50 a month and worth it to me with how much I use it.
I spam 500mb uploads… it kinda makes sense to me
