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.

Wow, didn't know the CEO changed. Not to say Discord wasn't already going to shit before but is that why it's becoming worse at an accelerated pace now?
