I think the difference is that when you pay discord, they stop advertising to you.

They also stop advertising to you if you install a plugin that disables the ads, shame they're against TOS, not like there isnt many people using them anyways

There are streaming services that I pay for that have stopped advertising to me. Nitro makes it seem like I have notifications that I then have to hunt down in the app only to find that it's them suggesting I buy a subscription.
