Discord to start showing ads in-app this week - Dexerto

In early March 2024, Discord revealed that “sponsored quests”, or ads would be added to the platform to help “support game developers” through the popular chat app.

Discord didn’t initially share a release date, or even how they’re going to implement ads into Discord’s overall design, other than mentioning that the sponsored quests would “tastefully” be integrated.

A report from The Wall Street Journal claims that Discord’s sponsored quests will be landing on the platform this week, and will be displayed at the bottom left of the app.

    Ok, just get my IRL friends, my boyfriend, and everyone from my 50+ servers to move there and we’re golden.

      You dont need that. Matrix has bridges for every major chat app including discord, facebook messenger, signal, whatsapp and more.

      So if you dont like ads and someone you dont know having the only copy of your data, you can switch and just offer your friends to switch as well. No need to force anyone.
