I don't use discord but I don't think it's a bad idea. Those servers costs money

They already can support them:

Discord generated $445 million revenue in 2022, an 42% increase year-on-year

They are getting greedy it has nothing to do with server cost

Revenue alone doesn't mean much, how much was profit?

Tried to find net, didn't find a lot of info on it but I also didn't try very hard. If anyone finds I'm very curious what it is.

They’re not public anyone who’s seen it has signed an nda.

Every info seems to point that Discord hasn't had a single year with positive profit. Here's one of the sources

Discord isn’t in dire financial straits, though it has yet to become profitable

Discord has raised a total of about $1 billion in funding. It has more than $700 million in cash on its balance sheet and the goal to become profitable this year, according to a person familiar with the matter.
