Discord looks for more ways to make money ahead of expected IPO.

On one hand I think people shouldn’t use Discord anyway, but also, we need to figure out how to make the services we use sustainable.

    Discord’s mobile app will have video ads starting in June, the company announced today. The initial pilot for the video ads, which Discord calls Video Quests on Mobile, will offer advertisers the ability to “showcase trailers, make impactful announcements, and highlight premium content” to users, Discord said.

    “Impactful.” A word that no human outside of marketing uses.
