    Ignorant question, which features have been hidden behind pay wall that was available before hand?

      Video streaming bitrates is the one that most affects my day to day. You could stream 1080p for free back in the day. I also believe the ability to post server emotes in other servers is also something that was locked behind the introduction of Nitro, but I can’t confirm since at that time I was only in a single channel.

      With this said, Discord needs to make money somehow, but crippling your own platform isn’t the way.
