Discord serves as a platform for community building and monetization

Discord has evolved from a gaming-centric chat application into a versatile platform for diverse online communities to connect via text, voice, and video. Users can monetize their presence on the platform by establishing dedicated servers and utilizing various revenue streams, including exclusive content creation, affiliate marketing, Patreon integration, and direct user donations.

In line with community engagement trends, the Australian gaming outlet Press Start has launched its own Discord server. The platform is intended to complement its existing social media and website presence, providing a space for real-time discussions regarding gaming bargains and Australian pre-order releases. Press Start members may receive special roles and direct access to the team within the new server.
