I'm unfamiliar with their games. They have no ads? Or are you talking about Discord?

And if no one bought Nitro or advertised games Discord would run out of money.

That's the same as using Roblox without giving them any money.

and if no one bought.

This isnt speculation here, they do, and they make A LOT from nitro subscriptions and server boosts.

Yes but if everyone used their services without paying, they would go bankrupt. Just like using Roblox without paying costs them money.

Don't forget every user generates a base income, for example from visiting and using boosted servers (other users pay), ad insights and other data mining

Ad insites is 3rd party ads which as I said Roblox doesn't do (yet).
