Bluesky: considered harmful

Post by scooter »

The more I read about Bluesky, the less I like it... https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/05/blues ... the-table/

As seen on the Fedi:

"ads mean advertisers will push for crackdowns on adult and other 'undesirable' content and it'll make investors push for deranking posts with external links to keep people on the platform so they'll encounter more ads

the whole thing is a when-not-if situation"

"it was above average while it lasted!"

On this:

"This should not come as a surprise to anyone. Bluesky is burning through money, and their only options at this point are monetizing their user base through ads, subscriptions and data harvesting, and/or more outside investment. Probably they'll need all these enshitifying tactics"
