If they started monetizing user data, I would immediately leave Discord and so would my entire community of software developer friends. The best way to push all of us to Matrix.

That being said, they already have a revenue stream in Nitro. I don't see them caving into advertising and selling user data very easily. Especially this late in the game where all their users are used to not having them.

No you won't. You may think that right now, but when the day comes the majority of your group will be too lazy to switch and you'll be stuck. Which is exactly discords plan.
You know nothing about me and my friends.
I don't claim to and I'd be happy for you if you could make the exit. Just think of my words when my prophecy comes true.
You don't claim to...except that by saying "when", you actually claim to. I understand not believing what everyone on the internet claims, but that doesn't mean you should be presumptuous.
