How Discord’s Loot Boxes Broke YouTube
Ғылым және технология
Discord did the funny with their "Discord Loot Boxes are here" video because they managed to make a KZread viewbot and the video gained over a billion views.
But, how did Discord break KZread records? Was this part of their April Fools plan?

Bear in mind, the viewcount number is probably not even affected by people outside of the U.S., since Europeans, for example, at least the ones in my circle, did not get the Loot Box pop-up or associated setting for it. The viewcount is already insane, but it could have been even more so.

I think the main reason for this is that the popup only showed if you opened discord after the update happened. So like any normal deranged individual, if you opened discord in the morning and then didn't close it until you went to sleep, you never got it

I’m hoping you see this ntts but in a game called geometry dash, the vanity link for the developers server has been stolen and a ton of bot accounts have been commenting on community levels plastering their invite link and pretending to be e-girls or famous players coming back, their comments are always purposefully misspell the link for some reason, if you type the link correctly it takes you to some weird e-girl hangout scam server, if you’re interested, I want to see what they are doing in their sever but I’m to scared to join it, please take a look at what’s going on as it’s a big promblem in the games community.

Honestly, the polls feature is a nice idea in concept. I frequent a number of servers for games or other media projects that are in active development, and they will often post announcements for new potential features and stuff. Having a poll would be way more streamlined compared to the usual method of using emoji reactions to gauge interest, since then you'll have more control and readability over the answers. I do agree that having it be accessible to everyone does make it potentially bothersome - a simple solution would be to allow server admins to toggle polls for members with specific roles, or limit them to specific server channels.

No text to speech THANK YOU FOR EVERY VIDEO IT HELPS ME SO MUCH just thank you so much
8:39 they could just put a button to hide the poll or maybe the poll is collapsed by default and expands when you click on it
To be fair, they really need to add a “Send Polls” feature to Discord servers. It would be better.
