I never really understood the point of discounts.

The ad prices just inflate to match the discounts. Hooray for pricks.

Unless it's meant to benefit donators only? Which is pretty bullshit for the people who can't donate.

Majhima Nikaya 98:
620. One born of a brahmin woman’s womb is not a brahmin,
By address, he is sir, he has defilements,
When he has no defilements and no seizings, I call him a brahmin.
650. By birth a brahmin is not born, by birth a non-brahmin is not born,
By actions a brahmin is born, by actions a non-brahmin is born..
651. By actions a farmer is born, by actions a craftsman is born,
By actions a merchant is born, by actions a workman is born..
652. By actions a robber is born, by actions a soldier is born,
By actions an adviser is born, by actions a king is born.
653. Thus the wise see action as it really is,
Seeing it dependently arise becomes clever in the results of actions.
654. By actions the world rolls on, by actions the populace roll on, Beings bound to actions, go on, like the linch pin of the wheel.

server needs money, discounts are a donation incentive regardless of who can do it.

maybe the gm's predicted a rise in ads due to the gift boxes(or whatever special event that needed ads) so they discounted everything else to match

but people tend to raise the ad prices to basically negate the discount is you're buying your ads, so what good does it do?
