And who determines how much money they need? Some c-suite asshole who wants a 3rd mansion?

[–] danque@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Or the board of rich assholes who do nothing for the company but hold up their hands every quarter.

You're not obligated to pay them if you don't want to.

These people are acting like every company that exists is somehow extracting money from them, even if they aren't actually paying for it. For someone to ask for money in return for a service is a straight insult to them lol.

Don't worry, I don't.

[–] the_q@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

Oh sure.

They'll take as much as they can get while providing the bare-minimum in return.

It's called "maximizing profit", and a lot of people in this thread don't seem to understand that.

Look at my downvotes... People at bat for a soulless company, ignoring their shitty practices, all because they can't separate what they think is a good company from a bad one. Capitalism has them all.

Jesus christ, relax. Discord isnt some billion dollar revenue stream for people like Elon Musk. Last year it generated $130 million in revenue. The only money they make are from nitro subscribers, otherwise their entire platform is free for you to use. I dont know why you think Discord is a soulless company, especially considering it's not even publicly traded so doesn't have to bend to the will of shareholders.
