Bluesky says it's working on premium subscriptions as it looks to start generating revenue. The platform added that it won't add support for the likes of crypto trading or NFTs.
Bluesky has revealed how it plans to start making money without necessarily having to rely on ads. The platform will remain free to use for everyone, though it’s working on a premium subscription that will provide access to profile customization tools (remember when Myspace offered that for free?) and higher quality video uploads.
One thing that you won't get as a paid user, though, is any preferential treatment. Unlike certain other social platforms, Bluesky won’t boost the visibility of premium members’ posts. Nor will they get any kind of blue check, according to chief operating officer Rose Wang.
Bluesky, you were the chosen one, you had to destroy Twitter/X, not join by force. You were going to give balance to the force, not leave it in the dark.
