Many people wonder “how does Zoom make money? Zoom’s business model involves charging subscription fees for its services. Apart from that, the company makes money from selling hardware.
In a first attempt to seek financial support from its users, Discord urged their loyal fan base to contribute to the company as a “THANK YOU” gesture.
There was no hiding from the fact that the sole purpose to launch the Nitro feature was to address the core issue of how discord makes money!

A little honesty hurt nobody.
It was an appealing gesture.
