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.

Please yes, pump it full of ads, discord can't die fast enougb, reddit and youtube too.

Discord has a really good reputation and the users are invested, it will take a long time to die even with enshitification. Remember that most people are used to ads and won't care as long as it starts with videogame ads.

Yeah take a look at something like Twitch and how many ads they shove down your throat. Yet 100,000's of people keep coming back again and again.
