    Funny how when someone brings this up for a streaming service it’s all “the ads are intrusive”, “I don’t want to pay this company”. Etc. But when it’s discord all the sudden “they gotta pay for bandwidth”.

        There are streaming services that I pay for that have stopped advertising to me. Nitro makes it seem like I have notifications that I then have to hunt down in the app only to find that it’s them suggesting I buy a subscription.

        They also stop advertising to you if you install a plugin that disables the ads, shame they’re against TOS, not like there isnt many people using them anyways

        Nope. They have a free model that is ads supported and a paid model that is not and doesn’t have ads. That’s my point. If the nitro ad was just a banner at the bottom of the app that would be one thing. But instead it shows up randomly as a notification like it’s a message. That’s garbage.
