Social networking startup and X competitor Bluesky is working on subscriptions. The company first announced plans to develop a new revenue stream based on the subscription model when detailing its $15 million Series A back in October. Now, mockups teasing the upcoming Bluesky subscription, along with a list of possible features, have been published to Bluesky’s GitHub.

    The subscription model rarely works

    when the objective is profiteering and endless growth

    I have an unpopular opinion that ads are still the best way to pay for servers and staff

    I think that’s acceptable if it’s not based on datamining and profiling and personalization, but on context, and if ads are honest and not too attention grabbing. yeah advertise your product/service, with its benefits, and do not try to persuade people into paying for garbage
