How do they pay for all those servers when their software is almost entirely free?

They're selling your private roleplaying sessions

I buy them

I haven't seen their latest numbers, if they even released them, but they were losing money and relying on venture capital. Now there's Nitro so that's something.
I think their server costs are pretty low though, I don't think they spend more than a few hundred thousands a year.

Wow rlly?!

Tech companies like to operate on a pre-revenue basis. They take money from VCs and then they spend it with the hope of getting more users and creating a high valuation for the company. In the case of Discord there is an extremely high chance that they will be acquired by a bigger company like Amazon in some sort of stock/cash deal. I can't see Discord becoming profitable.

Do they use a new audio compression? Because all these teamspeak servers where kinda rape to rent. How come they can do it so much cheaper?

I dont know its a mystery

They are being funded by the chinks and they own anything that the program can sell information on anything the program can see.
Stop using discord

My dad works at Discord and they're not abusing your data
It's all safe

I'm a manager at Discord, brb firing your dad.

Venture capital, plus discord nitro on the side.

I hope they find a way to become profitable without going paid, but I honestly doubt it'll happen without new features for nitro or other micro transaction sorts of things.

Hawt. Hope others enjoy my gay furry erp sessions~

Discord seems like one of those services where their endgame to get bought out by a giant company like Amazon or Microsoft.

Is this like slack but for neets?

I wonder if I can ask the buyers for feedback

They sell all the loli porn you share on their service

I keep hearing this. I feel like I really missed the boat on this... I should have turned my server cluster into teamspeak hosting servers and undercut every other host by 15% to snatch up a shit load of customers. I literally have the server power and the bandwidth to handle it (5x rack servers with 2x dual core xeons, 32GB RAM, and somewhere in the realm of 16TB of storage space; closer to 70TB if I removed all redundancy, all on a 1 gigabit up/down fiber connection with unlimited bandwidth) but instead I sold them all off because I was tired of all the legal shit I had to keep dealing with when dumb faggots wouldn't stop using their VPS accounts with my hosting service for illegal shit. I wasn't turning enough of a profit after legal costs for it to be worth the hassle. I could've made some bank pre-discord though.

Oh well. I'll keep an eye out for them to be acquired or shuttered and use my current (much less powerful) cluster for cheap voice chat hosting for gaymurrs.

>have the server power
Had*.

Fuck off Discord shill.

You’re not the cock.li owner aren’t you?

Does anyone think they'll let you host your own server any time soon?

Discord?
Never.
