Just cancelled mine after reading this comment, I only really cared about the bigger file uploads and the HD screen-sharing anyways and I can live without those.

Now that I think of it, I bet I could host a decent instance of some open-source alternative in a public cloud for around the same cost as what I paid for Nitro ($100 a year)...

>I only really cared about ... the HD screen-sharing

I bought and canceled nitro in a single day because it's a bad product.

They promise HD screen-sharing, but it's only for _my_ screen. When I hopped into a call, the other user's screen share is illegible. Higher quality is still locked behind a "Buy Nitro" message.

If I'm paying for an improved experience, I should be able to get it.

I think there are actually discord client mods which let you stream in high quality anyway.
