In fact, the vast majority seem to use it. All the Patreons I support have Discord server communities as well as most of the top podcasts--that's how it relates to to the article, it's a crucial place to build these communities right now, and I fear it's going to get bad in the near future. As Mike Shea often points out, we can't count on these platforms to keep doing what they are doing now.The cost of Nitro Boosts is ridiculous. To improve the quality of streaming video or audio beyond the standard default you need to purchase 7 Nitro Boosts (as I recall), which costs over $250/year. Anything less than 7 boosts had no effect/no improvement. It was such a weird gimmick too. Why 7 boosts? I think they did it that way because they hope your followers will kick in and fund boosts on your behalf as a creator so different followers could pay for an additional server boost.</blockquote>
