i have a lot of thoughts on this, but first i want to hear yours

Funny, but interesting, because: I think this means BlueSky is unlikely to attract advertisers anytime soon. Maybe political campaign advertising for left-leaning candidates but that's about it.

ah, didn't see that. ofc you're already on top of the news. 

jay has said a few times (most recently in a new yorker article) that she wants to avoid twitter's ad model, but not sure how revenue-generating bluesky can be without looking into it.

They've created some good tech, I am a fan of their Lexicon data model & all the open source moderation & feed curation tools they've produced. But I loudly hear Thiel's 'Zero to One' call: it's possible to create a lot of value without capturing it. They've stylized themselves as a Public Benefit Corporation, but will they do a Sam Altman pivot to privatization? Or will they go the way of BitTorrent & Mozilla? It's possible to build private businesses on open protocols, see how Apple & Spotify use RSS.
