Bluesky Announces Paid Subscription Plans Yet Guarantees Free Usage
Bluesky’s Growth Trajectory
Bluesky is having a moment. The small upstart social media platform has been growing by leaps and bounds over the past few months. Despite stiff competition from much bigger competitors like Musk's X and Meta's Threads, Bluesky's profile rose after Elon Musk acquired Twitter, and it managed to maintain its momentum.
Bluesky's Paid Subscription Overview
On Thursday, Bluesky announced some notable news: the decentralized platform has now grown to over 13 million users and raised $15 million in financing. However, further buried in the announcement was another interesting tidbit: Bluesky is planning to launch a paid subscription service.
Addressing User Concerns
For those who fled Musk's X due to the new paid model, Bluesky reassures that it will always remain free. Unlike Musk's X, the paid subscription service will not provide prioritization for paying subscribers over free users.
Paid Features Available
So, what can paying subscribers expect? According to Bluesky, the company is developing a service that will allow paying subscribers to upload longer videos and further customize their profile page with different themes and avatar frames. This initiative aims to enhance user engagement and personalization on the platform.
