Midjourney is a great example: Discord offers a customer base of potentially hundreds of millions of individual people using it to generate and send images to one another.

You seem very dismissive of it, but what about businesses running on other chat platforms like Whatsapp, WeChat, QQ, etc?

Sure, it CAN be fulfilled by anything else, but is that where your customers are?

Yeah, I wish some platforms would just die, and that includes Discord and WhatsApp. It's where the customers are for a reason. There's this naive mindset that says, "If you don't like it, don't use it," but this does not apply to communication channels. I'd rather everyone just go back to IRC, but we won't have that because of Discord.
