Bluesky has revealed how it plans to start making money without necessarily having to rely on ads. The platform will remain free to use for everyone, though it’s working on a premium subscription that will provide access to profile customization tools (remember when Myspace offered that for free?) and higher quality video uploads.
One thing that you won’t get as a paid user, though, is any preferential treatment. Unlike certain other social platforms, Bluesky won’t boost the visibility of premium members’ posts. Nor will they get any kind of blue check, according to chief operating officer Rose Wang.
Just skip to the part of enshittyfication where everyone leaves allready
For now.
Then there will be check marks for the accounts and priority in appearing in other users’ feeds.
At this rate we will end up proving Jack Dorsey right when he left Bluesky.
But everything else is stupid
I’m still banned from there after saying, regarding Eneloop batteries, the white ones are better than the black ones (if you need slower self discharge.)
Bluesky, you were the chosen one, you had to destroy Twitter/X, not join by force. You were going to give balance to the force, not leave it in the dark.
