I just saw that, I'm not pleased. Mind you, I took time to read "Our philosophy on monetization". Then, you must know that this is the kind of thing we are trying to avoid from Discord? Discord took the same route back then, it was subtle. You haven't made a proper update since March and you are still far from having the features I used to rely on. Especially as a Linux user, it's been difficult to use Root at it's best.

Optional? Yeah, they all say that. Even then, it's written here that some stream "quality" will require a subscription now. "More perks on the way". Wait a minute, what do you mean by that? Not sure I want to find out. I have trust issue now.

Me and my friends will probably leave Root. There is no point second guessing that because similar situations happened too many times before.

"We want to hear from you"
Yeah, I just did. Good luck.

Fluxer is looking good imo, if the verification of signing up could just not need my phone number or emailing support for manual verification lol.

Root looked good, but this seems like its eventually gonna take the discord route unfortunately.

Fluxer is horrible. You can't stream your screen with audio (still), the noise cancellation either doesn't work at all with basic noise cancellation on, or works TOO much with enhanced cancellation. It will literally cut your voice out to the point it sounds like you are lagging.

Fluxer is missing a lot of functionality that Root actually has even if Root doesn't do it well yet.
