I hadn’t heard of this YouTuber until now, but he went into some good depth on what’s going on with Discord with the age verification rollout news.

He covers:

  • Discord’s previous data breach where government IDs were stolen
  • Other companies with age verification and similar promises yet have had customer data stolen.
  • Discord’s preparation to go public with an IPO.
  • How Discord’s co-founder stepped aside in 2025 and a former vice-chairman of Activision/Blizzard took over as CEO.

    In this case, we need to migrate our friends and family one last time to something that will let us relax almost permanently for once.

    But it’s always “one last time”. It’s always an uphill battle to switch over and then people give whatever reasons for why it’s bad and you’re expected to just quit it.
