Discord Just Nerfed Uploads... (and added a New Badge)

Discord users are about to either riot or cry tears of happiness.

Because Discord just updated their free limit on uploading files to Discord. From starting off at 8MB, and going up to 25MB, this new update is sure to impress people in how bad Discord can be. But if you are one of those Discord mods who lack a functioning, top trim level, frontal lobe, then you will completely forget about this betrayal and will foam at the mouth at Discord's new badge.

Yeah.... we are getting a new nitro badge.

We're also getting a new nitro feature and potentially some free nitro. This is Discord's biggest business tactic to date. All covered by a cute man who talks about Discord news.

Also for the nitro badges cost, it seems like you can also just buy nitro basic and get the badges (unless Discord goes massive corporate greed moment and makes it $10 nitro only).

So prices would be $3 per month or $30 per year -> Fire badge at 6+ years = $180

I hate when companies sell you solutions to problems they caused.

dawg... upload limit was already horrendus and now they made it worse...

[merowo]

8mb > 25mb > 10mb for non-nitro users
discord can't decide lmfao

[elias]

The "free" nitro quests will 100% require you to make an IAP in whatever game the quest is for

[JustDaniMusic]

This is for the OG's. Remember the video where they announced Discord Nitro? They said something that goes something like this: "We designed nitro so that you can support our mission, get sweet perks but in a way it shouldn't feel necessary to have a subscription.

First of all, that video has been taken down which is very suspicious as all te other perks like server the boosting announcement videos are still up.
Second of all, the nitro of today is making people feel like they HAVE TO PAY FOR NITRO.
Third of all, Where did all the kind staff from Discord go?

OG Discord > Discord of Today (But that's just my personal opinion)

The fact that they removed the compression tool that was built-in is crazy. (On mobile and for select ppl there was a popup do you wanna compress and send this big file that is over the size limit?)
We all know free tools ain't making money...

[RealDB]

worst fucking argument i heard:" since ur not using the 25MB we're taking it away." if that was true then they wouldnt have touched the limit. they know people upload <25 MB so they lowered it ti make you buy nitor

[SupHip]

Next up: 99% of messages don’t contain any attachments. Therefore, sending files is now restricted to Nitro users

When I'm in a "Don't fix what isn't broken" competition and my opponent is the discord dev team:

[Lamedude]

I got a scam ad that used your voice and it was talking about how “vaultcord is super good against nukes and raids 🤓🤓” so they technically used text to speech, using no-text-to-speech’s speech. What a world we live in.

[wpsp]

1:45 Gotta love when they mention "99% of users" as if most overall accounts aren't abandoned or alt accounts.

[Foriginality]

>takes a lot of time to complete quest
>Completes it
>"Oh boy time to get my nitro"
>"We need your billing info for your nitro"

This is how the quests r probably gonna go

[derZCKR_]

Why don't they add the option to send "temporary files" which are deleted after say 24 hours but the limit is higher (because discord doesn't have to store them 24/7)

Discord in 2024: 10Mb uploads

Discord in 2034: Send text messages and calls with nitro

[Jirodyne]

I remember a time, long long ago. When companies weren't allowed to take away features they gave people legally and would get them sued to hell and back. I wish we lived in that time again.

[DqFish]

Discord: fixing all the cp issues within servers ❌
Also discord: lowering the uploads size to make stonks ✅

[MayChang]

2:10
-> discord claims that ~99% of uploaded files are <10mb in size
-> also discord: time to reduce the file size limit!

Lmao wtf. If that lie of a statement was actually true then there would be NO point in changing this. So, yeah, as NTTS said, 'definitely not cherry-picked data' lmao

[jason]

In discords attempt to monetize, it has driven me away. I will NEVER give discord a single CENT. If they didn’t take away features and only put nitro for quality of life I would’ve bought it.

[adriennewilson]

As an artist, im just giving a heavy sigh at the limit dropping. Since some of my clients have pretty intensive file sizes

Edit: yes I know and use Google drive, trello, and email to also send files. I was merely complaining about the change since I prefer it for more casual clients.
