No one said they are unpaid or have zero qualifications either.

You live in a fantasy world if you think it's possible to catch 100% of mistakes internally. Even safety critical equipment with many layers of checks fails and kills people every now and then (medical equipment, bridges).
Neither do I, which is why I would love evidence to confirm my suspicions, so I can show it to others.
But I also try not to make claims that are merely suspicious, however likely.
I agree, but the argument here is "why won't they let you upload more data if they make money off of it". My point is that it doesn't apply here, because uploaded files is not the data that can make them money.
I confirmed you made it up and can't link a source.
Any proof, or just tinfoil?
I already use a different app for voice chat, and never used Discord's voice chat feature.
Discord is a modern alternative to IRC, Slack, or a more fully featured version of Matrix. I never considered it for the voice chat feature.
People always bring up voice chat alternatives, which don't replace Discord at all, because voice chat is a tiny unimportant feature of Discord that I wouldn't notice if they removed.
Source that they make money off of uploaded files?
Fair enough. Still commendable for taking the heat himself without ever mentioning which employee made the mistake with misallocating the review item to the charity auction.
Source on "he's ok with ad blocking as long as it's not done to him"? Doesn't sound like something he'd say.
Doubled down? After being called out they slowed the upload cadence, are taking more time to make sure mistakes don't get through, and changed their production process. They also formed a volunteer team of "beta tester" viewers who see each video pre-release to catch any mistakes they didn't internally. I think they handled it well. Of course it would be better if they didn't have a problem in the first place, but I'd never call it "doubling down".

Presumably because letting the cops know you are defenseless is not what they want to message.
