TECH CRUNCH - Discord will now allow more servers to offer paid memberships in exchange for special server-specific perks. Anyone who runs a server can create customized membership tiers that offer special roles and other benefits, like early access to merch drops or exclusive content. To be eligible, server owners must be located in the U.S. (for now, at least) and be in good standing on the platform with no recent violations of its platform policies and community guidelines. Users can set subscriptions to be anywhere from $2.99 to $199.99 and decide what kind of perks to associate with the tiers they come up with. Discord's cut of subscription revenue is 10%.
