I don't think people on this sub use it, but it's great news for us. The worse it gets the likelier people move on.

Discord has a monopoly on the organized group chat platform, there isn't a competent competitor, or at least none I'm aware of

The website will ask for a user streaming to do something in-game or play a specific game while others are watching to probably earn something either in-game or in Discord.

I feel this is fine, the "streamer" can decide to do this tasks or not. And can disable receiving the tasks at all in settings.

Yeah I don't think it is actually going to be particularly intrusive visually. It is based on data on games you play and stuff so one could argue that is intrusive. It's 6 months from now as they start getting more bold and greedy. The ads will get worse, they always do.

Yeah I mostly agree, I don't like them adding ads but the way they're doing it seems not too intrusive so I'm not the most bothered
