Has Vanced been working for you? Mine has been breaking quite a bit recently (as in, videos will stop loading after only about 30 seconds)

Unfortunately, it's a natural result of Discord moving from being a useful little service to a "platform" with investors and needing to constantly be updated with useless nonsense to keep the "value" of the product alive.

Realistically, once everything was up and running, and they had moved their DB over to their current platform, someone should have taken the keys away from them and just said "Discord is done, it's complete". We likely wouldn't be having this much of a problem with useful information being hidden away behind Discord server invite URLs.

I wonder what the "apex" for all of this is - as in, when do we hit critical mass and the advertisers pull out of this nonsense dumpster fire that is the current internet.

Surely, at some point, if the advertisers know they're advertising to no one aside from bots on websites that host fake content, then they will pull out and the service providers will have to try and actually make the internet "usable" again? Perhaps I'm being too generous.

I'm still a huge fan of LibraryThing (http://librarything.com/), especially with its embed functionality so I can embed it into my site
