The Story of Discord: Re-Inventing Voice Chat For Gamers
Rarely do certain industries stay stagnant for several years, as entrepreneurs and market leaders are generally innovating to gain edges over their competition. But for the Voice over IP industry, or VoIP, it was one of those markets that flatlined for many years. Little improvements were being made, and there were multiple problems with the current services in the industry. There was really no perfect solution.
However, a certain start-up came out of nowhere to fulfil a need in the gaming community - a low latency, high quality voice and text communication software that can be customised to your needs. It has served competitive and casual gamers well, as well as streamers, TH-camrs and the regular community you might find on Reddit.
This VoIP application shook the market and garnered a massive active userbase within only a couple of years, meanwhile demanding catch-up from their competitors as they stormed and changed the industry forever. This, is the story of Discord.

    I can say I use a lot of Google products and services (Gmail, Nest mesh system, home speakers, Chromecasts, Pixel phone, Google Fi service, Docs, GDrive, Photos, Snapseed, Google Docs, etc.) and yet, each time I use something it leaves me with impression that whatever comes with Google logo is just a half baked product that is good only on the surface. Be it software or hardware. An update often feels like there is a change for the sake of change, instead of fixing what is broken or missing from start. Not to mention that many things that Google has gave in the past for free have been taken later. I keep using it because I've invested time and money to set things up but in my opinion it is not good ecosystem. Perhaps decent at best.

    I love riot, even though I do not play any of their games. Mostly because I prefer dota's gameplay over leagues, and I suck at FPS so I cant play valorant. However, the fact that their games make money even though they have very rarely pay to win aspects and they're able to stay afloat is just amazing. That just goes to show that games doesnt have to be pay to win to be good, it just has to be good to get players to support you. The way they showcase their artists in their youtube channel, and how active they are with communicating with their communities. Blizzard used to be as such until they weren't and I hope they stay as passionate and put player's first before business before anything else

    You should have more subscribers. Similar videos about discord, didn't really mention the details as to how Discord came to be. You mentioned that the VOIP industry was practically stagnant prior to Discords release. It seems obvious now, but it's a thought that really didn't pass my mind but just kinda happened infront of me. One day I was on TeamSpeak, then the next I was on discord. It's weird how small changes to a formula can have you corning an entire market, practically. If you were to make a new video, I would like to see how current economic factors are leading to the rise of the Free To Play model in video games.
