-[Mantaro](https://github.com/Mantaro/MantaroBot) is a simple but powerful Discord bot used to enhance your Discord experience. It includes many fun and useful features such as moderation, games and currency. It's currently in over **750,000 servers** serving over **60 million users**!
+**Mantaro End of Service Announcement**
 
-[Click me to add the bot to your server <3](https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=213466096718708737&scope=applications.commands%20bot&permissions=3525702)
+Thanks you for using Mantaro.
 
-### Highlights
+With a heavy heart we regret to inform you that the service will end at March 1st, 2024.
 
-Mantaro includes many features that you and your server might find incredibly useful and fun.
+Since Mantaro started, we've strived to provide the best service we could offer, but due to financial issues (mostly due to the removal of music caused by YouTube's actions and the dwindling usage of the bot) we have come to the conclusion that it's impossible to keep providing the service in a manner that would satisfy our users.
 
-Some of them include: 
+We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the countless users that have used Mantaro so far, and we sincerely apologize for the inconveniences.
+We're incredibly thankful to have enjoyed the support of so many people on the 8 years the bot has been online.
