From a functional perspective it’s fantastic but it doesn’t make up for the incessant ads (even if you pay) and the lack of any privacy whatsoever.
Are you talking about the ads for nitro?
I don’t even remember exactly what they were for, but yes, that’s one of them.
It isn’t even a decade old… anyway, it got market share for a reason. It was immediately a big step up from other free offerings in ease of use, UI, and eventually in features too.
Same boat as many Gapps like Google Maps. No large market competitor to show users how much better it can be.

The UI/UX has always been absolutely atrocious.

Yess, thank you. Ugly, slow, frustrating. And pay to make it bearable…

You can wait right?

It is the LEAST intuitive UI of any popular app I’ve ever seen. I was recently trying to join a channel from a website that required a code to input, and absolutely couldn’t get it to work.

I HATE the UI. It was made for iPad babies.
