Well that didn’t take long. Looks like they’re going the discord route and locking uploads + basic customization behind a subscription. You know, because we don’t already have enough of those.

Bluesky is working on a premium subscription that will add features like higher-quality video uploads and some profile customization options.

    Subscriptions are much better than it is being ad-supported.

    Otherwise the clients are the advertiser’s, not the users.

      Literally the same logic as with streaming services not having commercials. Why would you ever think they won’t just say fuck you and do both?

        I was arguing what the case should be for sustainability.

        I agree with you, as long as the goal of investment is short term gain and pump and dump the flavour of the month, enshitification will continue.
