MSN had animated emotes for free like two whole decades ago

And got discontinued one decade ago because it didn't have a viable business model. Discord is hoping to make a profit by charging for mostly frivolous premium features, which is one of the least evil business models I've seen in a while.

Yep. Don't pay? You aren't really giving up any actual functionality, just some fun things that don't have much of any impact on the functionality
