  Stoat and Matrix do fine with that model.

  Having checked a year ago and checking again now, their UX has barely improved and the GUI is still significantly worse than Discord. They need a monetization strategy and leadership that isn’t a shitshow so that they can make something that people will actually want to use.

  I mean, there’s literally a job title called “investor”,

  Why are we acting like investors are a good thing now? Maybe they don’t want a single revenue source to present undue influence on development. If their revenue is entirely supported by their premium model, if they make a decision bad for the community, money dries up. You think Discord would be doing dumb shit like this, if they weren’t floatinf off investors and whatever Palantir is throwing at them?

  Of all the things to complain about, the fact that people can pay to have an animated avatar or screenshare in 4K, a resolution that a super-minority of people even have a monitor that can render, is baffling.
