Anyone who has a community on the platform will be able to generate income through Discord without the need for external donation sites thanks to premium memberships.
Community owners wanted the premium membership option the most. While it is possible to provide financial support by subscribing directly to the content producer on many platforms, especially Twitter, YouTube and Twitch; Discord has not offered such an opportunity until now. For this reason, those who wanted to monetize their server used donation sites such as Patreon.
Reaching Discord bots will now be easier!
Discord will make the process of adding bots to servers easier, making the application much more functional and fun.
Discord servers will be exclusive to members
When the premium membership option, which has been tested with a limited number of servers, is activated, members will have to pay a fee to subscribe. Membership prices are minimum $2.99, maximum $99.99 will be determined by the server owner himself. Discord will deduct 10 percent commission from each subscription and pass the rest to the owner of the server.
Channels that require a premium subscription will have a small blue star icon next to them. The owner of the server will decide what kind of privileges you get when you subscribe. So not every premium channel will have the same features. However, if the server owner wants only subscribers can participate He will be able to make his community more special by opening a channel.
Discord Engineering Manager Sumeet Vaidya, in his statement on the subject “We see Discord hosting more creators and communities through its products like premium memberships.” said. Stating that premium memberships are the most convenient way for both Discord and creators to invest in the long term, Vaidya added:
[Premium üyelik] This was one of the most requested features by the creators. Creators used to be able to monetize through third-party services, now they can do so on Discord as well. We hope to find success by making sure that the creators can make as much money as possible, while also making Discord some money.
Discord has started testing the premium subscription option with a limited number of servers. It has announced that it will be open to all servers very soon.
