Fair enough. I don’t use Discord so I’m not sure but my understanding is that it’s free to use. So how do they fund it? I presume by collecting user data to target advertising or to be sold to 3rd parties.
My point here being that collecting data to figure out the user’s age and gender isn’t particularly uncommon.
It’s monetized through server boosts (upgrading a community to have premium features) and premium accounts that give users additional perks and features.
Except discord is not an ads-based platform? I’ve never seen a third party ad on there
