As much as I want to support Discord, their goal from when they initially started as a company has shifted in an entirely new direction. I feel betrayed as a 2015 user.

Honestly I don't know what you expected. There's no other way it could've ended. Voice, file uploads, etc are expensive.

Don't fall in love with services. (Or with people ;P)
