@Metazoxan Exactly. With most things, I'm able to keep focus and immersion when I'm getting an ad between chapters, which is nice and lets me have a smooth reading experience and still contribute a very small amount to the service or whatever. These 4th wall breaking Discord ads however throws me off every time. It's not annoying, but I agree, it's just a lowering of quality - IMO.
And yep! I hope there was an option to somehow disable discord ads, as I'm 100% confident I'm never going to join a single one. I tried once, but I had no use for it and never followed up on any information there. But I only wish it was a hidden "opt-in" option to disable the ads, as I still hope for success for the different scanlators. Though I'm sure there's never going to be a perfect solution, as readers and scanlators have both similar and very different goals.
