Discord has 300+ million users (based on the forbes article). Even if everyone were paying for the cheap $5/mo nitro classic (which is worst case scenario for revenue, but best case scenario for # of paying customers) subscription, that's 24 million paying subscribers, which is less than 10% of their user base. Seems pretty reasonable given that the free tier includes so much.


Your number seems off by an order of magnitude.

24M users * $5 / month / user * 12 months / year = $1440M / year


What does the 300+ million refer to? Yearly active users? Monthly active users? Those two metrics are much different.


Looks like there's only 100+ million MAU[0], the Forbes article just said "300 million registered users".
