Hi there,
First of all, thanks for supporting Hydra.


Today we have some big news to share, that we're both sad and excited about. Namely, Hydra will be fully removing any music-related features on Feb 7th.


We know that this might be surprising to some of you — we felt the same way when we got an angry letter from YouTube's legal team on Jan 31st 2023, over a year after we dropped the ability to queue YouTube links. Since Hydra is an incredibly small company (just 3 people from Germany as part of the core team), we don't have the resources to fight these threats, which just leaves us with the option of complying within the 7 days demanded.


This doesn't mean that Hydra is going anywhere. Since dropping YouTube support, we've worked on slowly adding new, non-music features to Hydra, like Reaction Roles or the Message Builder.
We are still working on those and are currently close to releasing our next big feature — stay tuned for that one.
Since we're dropping music though, we can now allocate a lot more time towards things other than music, and we'll be publishing weekly updates to supporters.


If you're not with us on this, we understand as well. For those of you, we give you the option to simply cancel your subscription as soon as we remove music support with one click on this link.


Still reading? Then I'll assume you're still with us. Thanks so much for your continued support, especially in difficult times like this one. Make sure you're in our Discord server to receive our weekly updates, and let's head into a bright new future together!


With love from Germany
