Discord isn’t exactly known for generous file-sharing limits, still, the messaging app offered a 25MB limit to free users. The company has now updated its support page to reflect the upload limit for free users has been lowered to 10MB.

    It is more like the data could make money in the future but is not making money right now so they don’t have infinite money for storage. If they had I am sure they would be happy to increase free storage limits.

          this is also true, but they do have a very successful platform, even though their two primary ventures youtube, and google, don’t seem to be immediately productive, though i guess google drive storage is probably a different cost to a platform like discord since it’s something people use every day.
