Discord is testing secure channels with a paid subscription

Discord is testing premium access on its channels to give creators a new source of income and create exclusive communities.

Discord is a free service. Anyone can create their own server and people can join. However, in the near future, Discord may allow users to create secure channels for a paid subscription. In other words, only those who are subscribers and therefore paying can access these channels, essentially creating a kind of exclusive platform.

The problem with free servers and channels is that anyone can join, so to speak. If you want to create an exclusive community, paid channels can be a good option. This will help creators find an alternative source of income as they will be able to create channels with different subscription offers to receive different benefits where needed.

According to Discord’s official statement, “With a premium subscription, community creators and admins will have the ability to set paid bans on all or part of their server. This has been one of the most frequent requests from creators and we are already starting to see some users in our community providing this experience through third party services.”

This feature is currently in testing and not everyone can use it yet, but it’s safe to say that if all goes well, Discord will open it up to all users of their platform. Discord is already being used by a wide variety of creators in a variety of fields, such as YouTube and Twitch, to create an alternative platform for their fans and paid subscribers to meet and interact. This new feature will be a great way for creators to generate new income.
