Yeah by "sell ads" here I mean "do the whole data collection, targeting, whatever" deal that the platforms do.

Discord... definitely different. It's hard for me to believe that Nitro really can be paying for Discord but I guess it's possible?

> Forbes estimated 1 million people are using Nitro as of 2020, and they made $130 million in revenue in 2020. If you assume that's all the $10/month Nitro (not the cheaper Nitro Classic), then 1 million users paying for Nitro would only account for a pretty small percentage of that. If the Nitro users estimate is accurate, not sure where the rest comes from.

1 million users * $10/month/user * 12 months/year = $120 million/year

That is close to the cited $130m annual revenue.


Yeah that's my bad, I mistakenly forgot to multiply it monthly for a moment.
