Discord is a free chat app that offered a paid service of file storage. Because they arent actually trying to be a chat app.

They are trying to be a community hub. A hub that offers the bare minimum for a community for free, with paid upgrades to community care, communication, interaction, and convenience.

Which included file storage. Which is why so many people chose them for their community hub.

    Does water falling from the sky cause the ground underneath to become wet?
    
    It sure does, but like your questions, has nothing to do with what’s being discussed.

This is just patently false, so you’re either completely clueless or are being dishonest to stir up outrage.

  No it isnt? The paid subscriptions upgraded your file upload size with advertised emphasis on the permanence of the upload remaining.
  
  That was half the reason why emulator communities started moving to discord. Because they could pay to be able to share rom modification files and know discord would act like a running library.
