I wonder how much Discord would have to charge for it to remain good? I'd pay $3/mo for Discord to never change.

Oh ya I mean more like, in the hypothetical scenario where they weren't driven by profit hungry infinite-growth jackals. What would be the break-even cost? $1? $2?

You don't need to pay anything, their business model is already stable. The people not paying are being covered by Nitro subscribers and various other deals they've made.

It's a sold business, but not one made for exponential growth which is why people get worried.

I have mixed feelings about this because while the sense of privacy on discord isn't really real and we are definitely losing out on stuff being archived and saved because of the lack of indexing, I don't think it's a full 100% unadulterated good for everything people say online to be search engine indexed either

People say that the problem with the contemporary internet is that the truth is paywalled and lies are free. True to an extent, but problem with contemporary googling is that answers are on Discord and the rest is Pinterest.
