Discord wants to help you monetize your server.

Hopefully users push back hard enough on this bullshit that server owners decide it’s not worth the backlash to use these features… If not, I guess I’ll thin out my server list.

I doubt it. Users may already be familiar with these features and would see it a way to make processes more seamless. Server subscriptions would mean you don’t have to go through Patreon.

With the way things are headed, #Discord might actually become a viable competitor to platforms like #Twitch.

A viable Twitch alternative would be great, honestly, but Discord has a ways to go before they get there.

That’s actually an interesting point; if this was being used to provide alternate access to already subscription-based content, it’s somewhat more palatable. I was thinking in terms of previously freely available content being locked behind a paywall.
