The Wall Street Journal reported that the startup with over 200 million monthly active users plans to start showing advertisements “in the coming week”. “The paid promotions are from videogame makers and will offer users gifts for completing in-game tasks while their friends watch on Discord,” WSJ specified, adding that the platform plans to hire more than a dozen sales personnel.”
