A few notifications here and there? I'm not sure I can agree with you. It's a daily persistent thing that there is no way to disable and the constant dark patterns.

I believe I am not alone with things like https://betterdiscord.app/ having more than 56M downloads (and that being just one of the custom mods)

I'm actually confused about what you mean with "daily persistent thing". I see a discord popup on start about a new feature or ad for some collaboration maybe once a month. Most days it just starts and brings me to the last server I was in.

Three things I can't remove from the UI that often have intrusive popups at random placed directly under "Friends":

1. Nitro Home 2. Shop 3. Quests

And hovering on users often brings up upsell.

Interesting, I almost never see any of that stuff when I use discord, but I realize that's because I almost never use DMs.
