On: Generative AI could make search harder to trust

Discord has raised so much money and is part of the inflated valuation unicorns that I sadly wouldn’t be surprised if they somewhat get forced into Ads

The point is the user posting isn't able to put their own ads in. So they can't profit by flooding the platform with crap.

It's only a matter of time before things change with Discord monetization. On reddit there is an incentive to create LLM-powered fake accounts with high karma and sell them. It's true that on Discord this incentive doesn't exist right now because no karma equivalent is associated with Discord accounts, but eventually that's going to change as Discord, as a company, will try to monetize their user data in various ways.

It's the typical overvalued VC-backed company dilemma that needs investor returns. Quora, Medium, and so on.

Just wait for elevated server roles where the pfp and account banner are ads

There are quite a few people that use reddit to market their onlyfans.

I really like that service. I can't wait to see how they enshittify this one.
