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.

Well, I guess it's about time I finally start moving off Discord. I always said I would wait until they did something absolutely shitty knowing it would come at some point.

I think that point is just about here.

Same. Are there any good alternatives?
