Comment on Discord lowers free upload limit to 10MB: “Storage management is expensive”

Anyway this seems like a great excuse to not limit the file uploads, and just pay for more storage considering you could like, sell it, but what do i know.

It is more like the data could make money in the future but is not making money right now so they don’t have infinite money for storage. If they had I am sure they would be happy to increase free storage limits.

i guess we should ask google how they’re doing with the 15gb of free storage thing.

Google has a lot more money

this is also true, but they do have a very successful platform, even though their two primary ventures youtube, and google, don’t seem to be immediately productive, though i guess google drive storage is probably a different cost to a platform like discord since it’s something people use every day.
