Comment on Discord plans to roll out third-party ads on its mobile apps, starting with a mobile pilot for Video Quests, video ads that let users earn rewards, in June 2025.

Honestly, I don’t mind them adding ads. They’ve got a business to support. But, calling them “quests” and treating them as “rewards” for their users is just so tone-deaf and disingenuous. Likewise, if I’ve boosted even a single server, I shouldn’t see this crap anywhere, let alone on the server I’ve boosted.

  I hate ads too, but almost no normies are willing to pay for services, so I’m glad they have nitro to reduce ads in my face. It’d be nice if it wasn’t that way but that’s not my choice that’s the choice of the collective to take ads for free stuff.
