I Patreon a podcast that has a private Discord for subscribers, and it is a great community. It seems like folks who like this particular podcast have a lot of things in common, and the paywall prevents toxic behavior.
I also know a professional* dungeon master who uses Discord to keep customers organized. I'm sure he could accomplish this coordination with e-mail and a spreadsheet, but Discord seems to cultivate community as a side-benefit.
*No, this isn't his fulltime job, but it seems to justify the amount of time/brainpower spent on Game Design/RP Writing efforts. And, yet again, charging folks a bit of money for membership puts them on their best behavior.
