Keep in mind that this is because of regulations coming through different territories regarding ID collecting for age verification. It's why some sites got banned within a few states since they didn't want to comply with invasive regulations or were in no position to database all that data securely.

Sometimes the threat of losing the userbase is also what could pressure people to improve their services. If there's no pushback, no criticism, and no competition, then naturally services will get more invasive and less functional. Cancelling Nitro is a decent start to send a message at least.

Feed based websites promoted the concept of apathy rather than a sense of agency. In the past too, people switched services for so much less than some of things happening recently. Keep in mind that there are a lot of potential alternatives for messengers if Discord really goes through with this.

Certain services don't have competition just because of hosting costs (it's why YouTube still gets used) but basic timeline feeds, messenger services, gallery websites, there's a lot of choice out there. When a service isn't properly serving its users anymore it's a reason to look for change.

I hope people can become familiar with the concept of not putting all faith into a single service/platform again. It was ten years ago that Skype became inconvenient so people switched from using it. Even further back people manually opted to download and use other browsers than Internet Explorer.

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

If I sound like a downer sometimes, it's because I'm 38 and I see everything coming at least a year away.

Ironic, as this was the magazine that referred to Pokémon as a "pestilential Ponzi scheme" in 1999, characterising its creator Satoshi Tajiri as a literal monster "His eyes are bloodshot; dark circles ripple beneath them... His monsters are a child's predelictions." He never gave another interview.

I want to emphasize. This is not about the kids. That's the easy excuse. This is about your private details. This is about surveillance and censorship.
Be careful & safe friends.

As more sites require IDs for user age verification, expect more such breaches to come.

I FOUND THE MARIO KNIFE!
I have finally negotiated the purchase of the rare officially licensed Super Mario World Knife. Once I receive it, I will test on stream just how dangerous an official Mario item can be. Thank you so much to my supporters for making this possible!
