I just like using animated emotes
Sorry but, How are kids/teens able to sustain expenditures for Animated Emotes? Isn’t this a luxury product purchase ?
A lot of teens in the US have jobs; I've worked since I was 14. At $10/month that's like 1 fast food meal, and if you use it as your major chat platform that's easily worth it for the convenience it offers you. And teens don't generally have other major bills to pay.
Understand. Thank you for explaining. Why isn’t Element more widely used ? Isn’t that a free and FOSS based ?
Trying to gauge why discord paid version even is a thing.
Makes a lot of sense. The audience is young and they would want an easy interface to install ! Thanks you for explaining!
Well I’m an adult with a job and I find the emotes fun
