reasonable
does anyone know where the discords revenue come from? how do they make money?
nope
anyone without adblock can tell me if there area ds here?
are ads*
they are fully ad free
they just got new investors
i remember reading about it
it's basicly like soundcloud it relies fully on investments
yep no ads
they're going to rely on paid features
icon packs, etc
idk why anyone would pay forthat tbh
but you can use custom icons
hmm.. ok
from jpgs
but they are banking hard
from investments
jesus
why though
"OUR INVESTORS
We've raised over $30,000,000 from top VCs in the valley like Greylock, Benchmark, and Tencent. In other words, we’ll be around for a while.
"
how do they make their money
why tho
i just said, they dont make any money
i don't trust them, sooner or later the tos probably change
+1
then how do they get investments
with no promise of return?
probably getting a market right now
probably datamining
then they'll start selling your conversations to amazon
step 1 get users, then roll out ads or w/e
they get big ass companies to invest > they own it > steal information
once they have got a good user base > change tos > do whatever the fuck they want
dont think they're making money atm
yeah, establish a userbase is priority 1
thats why im probably gonna stick with irc, low tech thats gets the job done
probably best call
for now its probably aight though
yeah, they would have to make a anouoncement b4 they go full nsa
