Discord is giving server owners a bunch of new ways to make money off users.
The internet's biggest chat app is introducing new ways to extract cash from the people who use it. Discord is expanding server subscriptions, a Patreon-like subscription button that's been available to large servers since 2022, with tiered subscriptions and longer-term plans to effectively turn servers into storefronts.
Not a bad deal for creators, but that's only the start of the new revenue streams Discord, who currently takes a 10% cut of server subscriptions, plans to implement.
Discord remains the easiest and best way to talk to friends online, but today's update makes its current trajectory hard to ignore. By opening the floodgates to itemized monetization, Discord is inherently making Discord a less welcoming place. . My worst fears at that time haven't come to fruition, but now I'm wondering if Server Shops and Tier Templates are the start of something worse.
