Because people think I dislike Discord as a whole due to their questionable marketing. All this being said, I like their YouTube videos.

Discord are managing to stop themselves from reaching a wider audience by using this kind of marketing. Discord could literally replace Skype and become a lot more popular if they get rid of the 'GAMERS!!!' marketing.
I disagree. Skype is a telephone-replacement service. Many businesses use Skype for Business as their main source of communication between other members and customers. Discord will not replace Skype in this way.

Except that, with the right effort, development and marketing, Discord can replace Skype in that way. They're just keeping themselves from that market with their marketing right now. It was good to gain themselves a userbase but unless they drop it soon they won't be able to grow.
It's not a simple process setting up a telephone-replacement service for the entire world. It would cost them an enormous amount of money for little return and I doubt Discord would persuade corporations to switch from Skype for Business to their system. Please also note that Skype for Business interacts directly with Windows and the servers are hosted by the businesses themselves that use it, not Microsoft.

I never suggested the change would be instant. I'm saying that, with the right work, Discord as a company can grow and eventually replace Skype. Don't put words in my mouth.

Honestly a lot of it's pretty cringey. Sometimes it works, but 9/10 times it reeks of r/FellowKids.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. This is one of my only issues with Discord right now.

Only 25% of my discord use has to do with video games anyway

Exactly, but introducing Discord to people is a pain due to its marketing. They think it's supposed to be for 'gamers'.
