Ah yes, I definitely want banner ads, “Quests” and a Microtransactions Store for NAME COLOURS
That’s not Enshitification at all…

How has it suffered at all in enshitification?

But realistically for a free tool with the functionality it has. The skippable microtranactions arent a big deal. The core functionality hasnt been effected at all.

I would argue that any amount of resources being spent on adding features nobody wants and nobody uses is Enshitification, as they’re not being used on fixing the myriad existing problems or adding features people actually want

They tried being a game store at one point, where you bought Steam games through them.

Added undismissible gamification features nobody asked for, hiding more and more features behind boosts, and constant breaking of their mobile app.

Ignorant question, which features have been hidden behind pay wall that was available before hand?

Video streaming bitrates is the one that most affects my day to day. You could stream 1080p for free back in the day. I also believe the ability to post server emotes in other servers is also something that was locked behind the introduction of Nitro, but I can’t confirm since at that time I was only in a single channel.
With this said, Discord needs to make money somehow, but crippling your own platform isn’t the way.
