"Choose not to engage with them..."
No. The first time I SEE an advertisement, I'm removing Discord and telling my friends to find other paths. Fuck greedy morons selling my time against my will.
Would you pay for Discord? That is the problem everyone thinks everything is free but running stuff costs money.
I don't have to pay to use Matrix/Element.
Also, how much money? Their entire purpose is to maximize profit. It's not about keeping the lights on.
