I Canceled Discord Nitro After 10 Years | 2026 Age Verification Backlash

Описание: After 10 years on Discord since back in 2015 I finally canceled my Nitro and stepped away. This video is me just venting everything that's been building up. The old days when free streaming actually worked great. How the app turned into a RAM monster. Why handing my ID to Discord feels wrong even though UK government stuff is normal. How the whole thing now seems more about squeezing money than looking after users.

Basically it’s my honest take after a decade of daily use. The app that once felt perfect now feels off in every direction. Especially with the new 2026 changes. Just one long-time user’s side of things.
So what about you? Do you think Discord’s heading the right way or is this the beginning of the end? Drop your thoughts below, smash that like if it hit home, and sub if you want more rants like this. Cheers for watching!
