   Looks like Discord is finally pondering to the orb.

   (aka adding an in-app currency that you can earn by watching ads, finishing quests in game etc. pp.)

     After Discord was stuffed full with every conceivable community feature that's overkill for a chat app we now have micro-transactions for profile decorations and an in-app currency earnable through ads to have a second "free" way to get those things.
