You can barely make any friends or just talk to people in general unless you have that shit installed. I struggle to even stay up on it for more than a day, I forget to log into it for the most part or just have no interest to launch it up daily.
Even as a game dev or anything similar, you need that piece of shit in order to communicate with others that you might want to work with. Even if someone adds you on a client like Steam, which already has a proper text chat, they'll still ask you to talk on Discord instead. What the fuck?
Not having a Discord account or not using it now became the new equivalent of "If you don't have a Facebook account, then you don't exist/you're nothing."
Same reason Whatsapp overtook texting and iMessage. It's convenient to have everybody in one place rather than texting one friend, FB messaging another, sending a messenger pigeon to the tin foil hat bro and needing 5 different apps just to speak to your group of friends.

I use it because the few friends I have use it. Also it does everything skype does.

because they prefer their products to be made by "indie" pedos as opposed to just sticking with whatever bland shit the big hitters pump out.
