Funny how when someone brings this up for a streaming service it’s all “the ads are intrusive”, “I don’t want to pay this company”. Etc. But when it’s discord all the sudden “they gotta pay for bandwidth”.

Steaming services don’t give it to you for free with the only ads being for the premium version of their service that you don’t really need…

I think the difference is that when you pay discord, they stop advertising to you.

Because you are still paying the streaming service, and then they serve you ads.
