#2Man there's plenty of amazing examples of caste systems on the internet, but Discord Nitro ain't it.
Discord is a free app without ads. Nitro is a reasonable monetization strategy for a chat app that works incredibly well and fosters probably millions of communities.

#3Discord is arguably the smoothest experience there is, like bar none. How do you suppose it should be paid for? Discord Nitro is the least obtrusive way.

#6I agree with other commenters. Before Discord, voice over internet was not easy. Skype, Google Meet, Vent, TeamSpeak, and that other one I can't remember the name of that we used for a while.
Discord works. It works well. It might just be the most "desktopy" Internet app that I've ever used (yes more than GDocs).
If you don't want to pay for things, you get ads. And the ad market has been slowly deflating for over a decade. Just look at Twitch's most recent actions for just how well the ad supported Internet is treating users and content creators.
Pay for shit, or else.

#8I feel like Discords version works a lot better than Slacks for public communities. Someone has the option to pay as an individual rather than requiring a workspace owner to pay for everyone, which is impractical when there are 1000+ members.
