message event not working

sorry, accidently marked the previous post i made as "resolved"

import express from "express";
import Discord, {
    ActionRowBuilder,
    ActivityType,
    ButtonBuilder,
    ButtonStyle,
    StringSelectMenuBuilder,
    StringSelectMenuOptionBuilder
} from "discord.js";
import fs from "fs";
import "dotenv/config";

const client = new Discord.Client({
    intents: [
        Discord.GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
        Discord.GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
        Discord.GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent
    ],
    presence: {
        activities: [{
            name: "ballsack",
            type: ActivityType.Watching
        }],
        status: "online"
    }
});

client.on("ready", () => console.log(`\n● ${client.user.tag} is online\n`));

client.on("messageCreate", async (message) => {
    console.log(`Message received: "${message.content}" from ${message.author.tag}`);
});

client.on("interactionCreate", async i => {
    i.reply(i.commandName)
});

client.login(process.env.CLIENT_TOKEN);

const app = express();

app.listen(9999, () => {
    console.log("\n:: Web Server Started ::");
});

app.get("/", (req, res) => {
    res.send("Bot is running");
});

this code worked a year ago, but now it doesnt after i create an "app", which doesn't even show up on discord as a bot anymore but rather as some sort of integration. my slash commands work fine but the "app" doesn't listen to new messages in the client.on("messageCreate") event. did i miss something or can my app NOT listen to messages anymore in a channel???
