Discord to start showing ads in the coming week after resisting for almost a decade

The new update is great, it crashes the client anytime I mouse over the loot box announcement or try to watch a video my friend posted.
It will be interesting to see if PC ad blockers are able to mitigate them or whether they're going to tunnel them in like FB/Instagram do.
