    I mean most probably yeah, but they have also been progressively locking more and more functionalities behind paid tiers.

    Now that they have fully penetrated and locked the market, killed any potential competitors, and become the default, I assume their “product” will be to make the free tier become less and less functional while also getting monetized in more annoying ways. If people don’t like it maybe they should have known better than to make it the default.

    Unfortunate.

        Yeah, I’m not gonna be very happy when I have to find a new platform to host my game jams on. Discord is where like 80% of my online interactions happen these days.

        Im not big into conspiracies, but it’s almost like companies are intentionally trying to deplatform regular people so they can’t reach large audiences, only corporations can.
