I truly don't have a problem with ads being in a free service. My anger will be based on how annoying they are when they roll out.

I'm on the verge of quitting after dealing with fucking groomers and nazis in ever server. I've already pulled out of every server and have remained DM-only. As I lose my last few friends my incentives to stay are going to be severely tested by having to deal with advertisements.
We need FOSSCORD!
The website will ask for a user streaming to do something in-game or play a specific game while others are watching to probably earn something either in-game or in Discord.
I feel this is fine, the "streamer" can decide to do this tasks or not. And can disable receiving the tasks at all in settings.
