That seems… unwise on the part of Discord.

New here? The company and people behind Discord suck shit and like all tech startups things like security are an afterthought for years on end.

Adblockers had existed for 15 years or more by the time YouTube finally started cracking down on them. I think it would probably take similarly as long before enough people were actually exploiting that loophole before Discord did anything about it.

And I STILL manage to beat them by, literally not even knowing about the crackdown in the first place and just telling Ublock Origin to do its thing
