Ads Rule Everything Around Me: Discord has a new plan to make money and will probably ruin itself along the way. Users can earn their new digital currency, called ‘Discord Orbs,’ by interacting with content from advertisers or streaming “specific games to friends,” The Verge reports. The private social community platform is known for its gamer chops, but has become a nexus for communities far more diverse than simply those with linked Steam accounts. And after spurning a Microsoft offer a while back and swapping out its CEO, the company needs to get into IPO shape. Expect more monetization in the coming quarters.
