    So this is adding subscriptions to servers, and allowing server owners to sell exclusive content. I don’t see this as a negative if the server owners get some of the profits. To me, it seems they are trying to take market shares from services such as Patreon with the move. It might indicate the beginning of trying to close their ecosystem and forcing users to go through their channels for anything related to subscriptions/income. This would be a negative in my opinion, further closing off and fragmenting social communities on the internet. Let’s hope this doesn’t happen, but at least there are alternatives available if things get out of hand.
