Monopolistic abuse by Google and Apple taking rent form every mobile app.
Huh? You can buy it from the app. Therefore they don’t care about the 30% fee. They’re doing this just to spite you and make it difficult to cancel.
Ehh, I'm sure it's something like if they let you manage your subscription through the play store, Google is entitled to their 30% cut. If you subscribe through desktop, they'd like to keep 100% of the money opposed to 70%. Might be off base, but I'd wager that's the reason
But they're saying you can buy through the app. It's desktop to cancel.
Because more obstacles in your way like this give you more opportunity to get discouraged and just leave the subscription active longer.
Did you actually purchased the subscription on the app, or you just mean that it's possible to do so?
If you subscribed somewhere else, the monopolistic owners of the app stores explicitly forbid to manage subscriptions in that case.
If you subscribed on the app, just cancel in the play store, subscription panel (I never subscribed to any app, I boycott software with subscriptions)
Lol you pay for emojis.
I pay to be able to share larger files
You know you can use Vencord or BetterDiscord to do this for free right? You just get the magic-upload plugin and you're good
This is desktop only though right?
If you're on Android, you can use Aliucord with the UITH plugin
I'll check it out thanks
You know there are free hosting websites right?
The convenience is surely worth it for some.
Surely. Information is also good to have for those uninformed but apparently people didn't like how I worded it.
Like?
Gofile, Pixeldrain, Fileditch, Filen, Files.fm, Mediafire, Mega, MegaUp. I'm sure the list goes on.
I could've sworn this practice was recently outlawed? If not, it 100% should be. If you can buy a subscription from one location, you should be able to cancel it from the same location. I feel like I remember reading about a case recently regarding notoriously hard-to-cancel gym memberships resulting in a requirement that you could cancel subscriptions whenever and wherever you wanted, but maybe I'm misremembering.
Because you might cancel it.
Why do people pay a monthly subscription to use animated emojis lmao
For me, its exclusively to be able to share larger files through it
Imagine paying for bigger uploads on Discord when Mega is free.
It's especially images and videos that load in the actual channel. I too use mega, Dropbox, one drive, Google drive etc but yeah I pay to not have to upload there, and share the link to that. Call me lazy
Mega is the worst though.
A pain to download from with very limited download caps.
There's also higher quality live streaming.
Doesn't even make sence because the app is just chromium. Theres no way it cant render the manage page.
ackshtually it's react native
Oh. Well even if it was electron damn thing is so bloated it should be able to render the page
Cause discord is stupid af, move to xmpp/irc/matrix.
The thing though is, that the communities I'm in don't just move.
Completely understandable problem, same for me where I have managed to move some smaller part of my community to xmpp but most would want to move to matrix.
With the way things are in my communitty I will prob just selfhost matrix server just to see how it goes.
At least you don't have to mail in a request to quit I guess
