    The site also has an active Discord community of around 35k members, who actively participate in discussions, art competitions, even a chess tournament.

    lulz, but this is probably a big reason why this happened, discord servers pay our pretty well and profiting with this stuff probably got some legal teams a little pissy

        You can enable monetization on your server once you hit certain requirements. It will let users pay to become a member/subscriber, kinda similar to subscribing/joining on Twitch/YouTube. Basically just gives you a special role in the server, maybe access to hidden channels, etc, depending on how the server owner has it configured.
