… But it is, and they offer for people to pay them in order to function as such.
“Kroger shouldnt sell groceries. 🤷♀️ Grow your own celery, if you intended to eat it and not sell it you shouldnt have bought it from a store to begin with.”
You’re beim disingenuous, discord very clearly wasn’t selling file hosting and was simply offering file transfer
They literally were selling that. That was the thing they flaunted as a big reason to pay up, was the permanence of the file storage.
If they werent aware of that, or its effect on their sales, I would be genuinely shocked. That would be like mcdonalds being surprised people wanted fries with their combo meal.
Surely you can quote where the permance of file storage “was the thing they flaunted as a big reason to pay up”.
And no, a mere mention of increased upload sizes is not enough.
That comparison is poor. Kroger is a store for groceries. If DropBox started saying files were temporary, I’d think that was ridiculous. Discord should have always required a third party storage solution for longer term storage. They’re a chat app. Like zoom. And zoom provides integration with cloud file services.
Discord is a free chat app that offered a paid service of file storage. Because they arent actually trying to be a chat app.
They are trying to be a community hub. A hub that offers the bare minimum for a community for free, with paid upgrades to community care, communication, interaction, and convenience.
Which included file storage. Which is why so many people chose them for their community hub.
This is just patently false, so you’re either completely clueless or are being dishonest to stir up outrage.
No it isnt? The paid subscriptions upgraded your file upload size with advertised emphasis on the permanence of the upload remaining.
That was half the reason why emulator communities started moving to discord. Because they could pay to be able to share rom modification files and know discord would act like a running library.
No one likes change.
That is a completely unrelated argument.
Is something changing?
Do people like it?
Does water falling from the sky cause the ground underneath to become wet?
It sure does, but like your questions, has nothing to do with what’s being discussed.
