The Discord server in question claims "we got over 1,000 server boosts" [0]. That's Discord's monetization scheme, a sort of server-specific patreon subscription that users opt into, to collectively unlock features for that server specifically.
Judging by the going rate for "server boosts", Discord would have easily had $5,000 a month in revenue tied to that server [1].
