Bluesky just confirmed it’s working on giving users a new subscription option. This will include features that enable higher-quality video uploads with options to customize profiles.
This will not be like the subscriptions on offer by X right now as the latest paid tier will not enhance users’ post visibility. It will also not provide accounts with any kind of verified status. Through a post mentioned on its blog, the company adds that it’s still free for use to all and would like to keep it this way.
Through subscription revenue, they hope to better the app and expand the developer ecosystem. It also gives them a chance to explore different models to do business, other than classic ads. However, if you think that by paying you’ll be getting VIP access elsewhere, then you’re sadly mistaken.
X gives users who pay for subscriptions the chance to uprank their accounts or make the most of blue ticks next to profile names.
There was also some discussion surrounding its recent deal with crypto giant Blockchain Capital where $15M was raised during a single founding round. The company adds it does not hope to include blockchains or crypto in the app to make users' social experiences a financially themed one. As it is, those offering crypto, NFTs, and tokens are under scrutiny.
With that comes the glad tidings that the company has now reached 13M users which it called a huge milestone. The company did witness a steady amount of growth in 2023 after crossing 2M last year during this time.
It managed to include more users in a few weeks after Brazil chose to ban X. The same goes after X chose to make changes to the app’s block feature which many didn’t appreciate. We’re also seeing the app get a lot of attention from upset Threads users who are searching for better alternatives.
