Ever since the infamous Corona Virus appeared, the number of users on the internet had drastically gone up. This meant more people were going to be using online platforms much more, for work and entertainment. For Example, communication apps such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Discord, etc., and gaming apps such as Fortnite, Minecraft, etc. One such app piqued the interest of many people and underwent a sudden surge of new users - Discord. A free platform with unlimited messages and friends grabbed the attention of gamers, artists, students, and many such people. With public communities where you can message people from all around the world to private guilds for you and your friends, Discord was a chatting platform where you could create new friends and meet new people. But one thing I found most interesting was the Discord Bots.

Discord grows more and more every day. But one thing that users of Discord love most is the discord bots. You can make a discord bot of your own using the Discord Api!

Many popular languages like Java, Python, JavaScript, Rust, etc. already have their API Wrappers for the Discord API. You can go to the same Discord Developer page and create your application.

Once you create your application, make sure to explore around and under the "bot" section, you will find a button for creating a bot.

And like this, you have a discord bot with its token (Click copy token) and info in front of you! Now you can create your discord bot.

Many developers are creating bots and making a living from them! Literally! Some such bots are MEE6, Dank Memer, etc. Thousands of bots are created every day as many people aspire to make their bots famous like the current ones.

Thus, I conclude that this could become a possible popular trend. Sure, it may be trending in discord communities, but it has not reached a wider audience yet.
