A new mobile refresh includes performance boosts, a separate tab for servers and messages, “Midnight” mode, and more.

        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”.

          Because you are still paying the streaming service, and then they serve you ads.

            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.

      I thought about getting Nitro once, till I noticed it was a monthly subscription

      It’s a single ad.
