Discord is a popular fifth-11th semi-mixer, which over the years of its existence has become an almost mandatory application for gamers. For a long time, the site existed due to Nitro subscription, and is now going to introduce advertising activity, the media say.

Here’s what the Wall Street Journal writes:

Discord recently tested “sponsorship quests” – special activity, in which you need to perform certain actions in games, simultaneously showing a stream to your friends through Discord. At least one person should watch the broadcast. For sponsorship quests give out awards in the relevant games.

According to WSJ, “sponsorship quests” will become a full -fledged part of the platform and will be displayed in the lower left corner of the program.

According to WSJ, Discord The https://bettingsitesnogamstop.co.uk/cricket/ people who will sell advertising on the site are going to hire more dozen. In the comments for other sites, representatives Discord confirmed that WSJ information is correct.

“Sponsorship quests” openly announced a month ago, but then it was not yet known when they were presented for all users.

They also showed another type of advertising – special profile decorations based on games from advertisers.

The Discord store already has “cosmetics” from Valorant.

Chapter Discord Jason Citron (Jason Citron) openly opposed targeted advertising in the spirit of the one used by other social networks – they often scan user data and deprive them of privacy:

We [c Discord] We believe that these people belong to people, people should feel safe when they communicate with each other, and should know that their data will not be used against them in an unacceptable way.

We are very serious about privacy. We do not scan people messages. We don’t read them. However, Discord does not use through encryption. So if you violate the rules of the community, we will be able to conduct an investigation.

Formally, “Sponsorship quests” are really not targeted advertising from traditional social networks – apparently, all quests are placed with consent Discord, and not just choose the target audience according to the parameters from advertisers who can poke almost any goods.

But still quests bring Discord closer to the thin line, from which he had previously reopened Citron, which causes discontent of some users.
