Bluesky's Premium Subscription Strategy without Favoritism
Bluesky Unveils Premium Plan Without Major Perks
Bluesky's recent announcement details its strategy to monetize while maintaining a free platform for its over 13 million users. The premium subscription model grants access to profile customization tools and higher quality video uploads, reminiscent of social features from platforms like Myspace.
No Boost for Premium Users
In a decisive move, Bluesky, helmed by COO Rose Wang, has confirmed that paid users will not receive preferential visibility for their posts nor any form of verification badge.
Supporting Creators
Bluesky aims to foster its creative community by introducing a tipping feature, enabling users to support their favorite creators voluntarily. The platform expresses commitment to securing a sustainable revenue stream while keeping user experience intact.
Financial Backing and Future Plans
Having recently completed a $15 million Series A funding round, led by Blockchain Capital, Bluesky emphasizes that its service will not rely on hyperfinancializing techniques like tokens or NFTs. The focus remains on team and infrastructure costs to enhance the platform and explore new business avenues.
