I saw the show in my suggestions because I watched Supernatural. Is it a good show, or should I skip to the furry episode?

It's an excellent show. If you are watching it on Netflix though there are like, 4 previous seasons that aren't on there to my knowledge (at least if you're British), so you might want to buy the dvd box set so you can start from the beginning.

Well, personally I wonder whether Discord is making a loss on their venture. So many people use discord, and they use it for quite computer-expensive activities like sharing images, video and sound.
I wonder whether the number of people using it has out-grown the company's ability to service that demand.

I'd say storing data and streaming voice isn't very resource-intense on their part. Ie. twitch has to do a lot more for their service. It's just that discord has a somewhat unusual business strategy compared to similar services.

It'd be interesting to see if they are still around in ten years.

To my knowledge they make their money with micro-transactions for things like animated server icons (why would anybody pay good money for that?) and by scanning user conversations and targetting adverts elsewhere on the internet.

The accuracy of the ad-targetting though is something I wonder about; I discussed the Kerch bridge with somebody briefly on discord and then the adverts I was being targeted with changed to Russian language. x3

Wasn't aware that they were selling chat logs, but it doesn't surprise me.

I think they're trying to copy twitch's subscriptions, which afaik is a wildly successful model, but it doesn't really work for chat rooms.

The radio discussed crypto currencies recently, and
it made me realise it's been a pretty long time since anybody has tried to convince me to invest in Bitcoin on the internet.

I forgot how much of a pest that stuff was.
