Overview
Discord organizes a community into text, voice, and forum channels for free, and Server Subscriptions let an owner charge for access on a 90/10 split. That monetization is US-only. Content marketers use it as the always-on room behind a course or newsletter. Nitro at $9.99 a month lifts the 20 MB upload cap.
