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.

2021, which was before the rate hikes which started in 2022, my conjecture would be Discord wouldn’t be hit as hard as some other online sites that are enshittifying, simply due to one fact… They’re not ad-based, they make money from direct subscriptions from users, there is something to be said for the other issues with cost of living rising so people have less spending money in general, it is possible they’ve taken a hit, but it’s impossible to say as they don’t have to publicly disclose that sort of info.
Does Discord make a profit? A lot of big tech has historically operated at a loss, even with subscriptions. Not sure if that data is available since they’re private.
