Hey there, my fellow tech enthusiasts! It’s your favorite funny guy, Nuked, here to share some exciting news about Discord. The popular chat app is rolling out new features that will make it easier for creators to monetize their communities and for users to enjoy more diverse content.

One of the biggest updates is the introduction of Downloadables. This new feature will allow creators to sell digital products like recipe ebooks, gaming guides, and digital wallpapers through one-time purchases. The Downloadables will be available for purchase from a Server Shop, which is currently in testing.

Discord is also improving its server subscription model with the addition of tier templates. This will make it easier for creators to decide what subscriptions to offer their communities. However, Discord’s Derek Yang reminds us that not every opportunity to generate revenue needs to become a get-rich-quick scheme.

In addition to these monetization features, Discord is introducing Media Channels in beta. These channels are designed for sharing videos, photos, and files and will be a useful option for communities that want to separate meme dumps from text chat. Media Channels are rolling out on Tuesday to all Community servers with Server Subscriptions enabled.

Overall, these new updates could make Discord an even more attractive platform for building and monetizing communities. With changes happening on other social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit, Discord’s growing number of features might encourage more people to jump over.

So, what do you think of these new updates? Are you excited about the Downloadables feature or the introduction of Media Channels? Let me know in the comments below!
