Discord announces plans to expand its successful Video Quests advertising format to mobile devices. This strategic move marks the company’s first mobile ad offering, significantly broadening reach for advertisers while maintaining Discord’s commitment to user-first, reward-focused advertising experiences. The initial pilot for Video Quests on Mobile will launch in June 2025, offering advertisers a prime opportunity to showcase trailers, make impactful announcements, and highlight premium content to Discord’s player community.
Man, people are so willing to jump to companies that literally have plans to monetize the shit out of everything in the future just because it’s “simple to use.” It’s literally the same shit with Bluesky a company that owes a shitload to Blockchain Capital and will be needing to pay that money back somehow. It will have to be monetized at some point. (and whose promises of Federation are clearly hokum)
And we complain about how the Trumpers can’t read. Everyone’s way way way too ready to jump to some new shitbag company as long as it’s “simple to understand.”
I’ll be real, I think that’s as pathetic as not reading.
wE’lL jUsT gO tO A nEw CoMpAnY… after they’ve monetized the living shit out of us and our data and the network effects make us stay supporting the company for far longer than it deserves. I guess most people don’t learn from bad experiences and really are fucking stupid.
