Still holding out for them to have a $10 a year tier with no added features. The $36 bucks a year entry fee is just too much.
Can someone here explain to me why so many free services directly jump to $3, $5 or $9.99 bucks a month? Why not $10 per year? Surely that’s better than nothing?
Just call it supporter tier and that’s it. I don’t want any icons or upload limits either. I just want to not feel like a leech. ;)
If a free tier is offered, why would you be a leech? It’s calculated in their business and free users indirectly bring revenue (the more free users they have, the more they can convert). This concept of being a leech is so alien to me.
It is an anxiety thing. When I read headlines like that, I get a cold sweat, because for a moment I feel like it is partly my fault for not having nitro. It passes when I realize that they are just morons, having entry level fees like that. I’m sure there are tens of thousands like me, willing to pay ten bucks a year for most services, but not having the option.
That’s silly. Even if you could give the capitalists more money, that’s not going to help anyone. Corporations are like cancer cells. They just keep growing and growing until they kill their own hosts and die. You’re not saving any jobs by giving money to a corporation, it’ll just gobble your money up, hire even more people, and fire just as many.

Probably because of torrenting I would imagine. Being a leech is kind of a dick move if you’re able to seed.
This has nothing to do with torrenting apart from a similar sounding word.
I dont understand it either. I would happily donate to signal yearly like 10-15€, but 5 every month? No, thats just too much sorry.
What’s really an insult are ad-based tiers from streaming services where they make money from both you and people advertising to you.
It has been shown to be more profitable than higher priced ad-free tiers.

I’m bracing for a near future where premium “ad-free” goes away entirely and you have the choice between lots of ads for free and less ads for money.
Go ahead and leech from Discord all you want.
What do you mean, leech? It’s their business model.
Well then you shouldn’t have to worry about feeling like a leech.
Being a leech and feeling like one are entirely different things.

Because 5 bucks a month is making way more money than 50 cents.
