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.

    Is making a profit = profiteering? I agree with endless growth. I hate the big data model that assumes large numbers of users, huge churn, low success rate.

    The ads I had in mind would be topic-based. If you’re on a supplement sub, you see suggestions for a vendor. If you’re on a web dev sub, you see VPS vendors. Nothing crass like Betterhelp or Masterworks.

      no, what I wanted to mean is wanting to make lots of money just for the sake of it, or to increase value

      yeah, exactly, that’s not so bad
