Discord is lowering the upload limit for free users from 25MB to 10MB, citing operational and financial reasons.

Just like YouTube. They need the ad revenue to keep all those videos saved to their servers. It’s only natural you watch a 30 second ad every 10 seconds. It isn’t enshittification because it’s a real thing that’s happening, and raw storage is expensive. They pay for it directly.

I suspect the sarcasm detector of the downvoters might be faulty

Maybe but I’m not adding a /s for them
