so i was reading discord hate (username update) on reddit (not a redditor btw) and saw this comment and am actually scared on how much of a possibility this could be:
Let's be real, the discriminator system will be back once this blows up, but as a nitro feature.
like think about it, here’s the cycle: discord user doesn’t get the username they want → discord user buys nitro to get username#0001 → discord user now has to continue buying nitro so their name doesn’t revert back to usernamewastaken or whatever → discord user doesn’t get the username they want

share your thoughts below, i wanna hear if you think this is possible or any other theories you may have

yeah this entire thing is just really annoying. discord is kinda pulling that standard scratch thing where they update things that don't need to be updated. custom discriminators were a nitro perk and now nitro basic is like really not worth it at all. instead of removing discriminators (which made discord unique and were not very confusing??) they could've done something useful and benefited the site instead of causing chaos and backlash. like,, did they really think people would be fully content with it?? idk but those are my thoughts
