Shameless promotion of... well, no, I just wanted to say that I also wrote an article almost at the same time :)

bsky.app/profile/vpon.me/post/3lbtzsvnvw22y

By the way, I know that I'm not in many (if any) starter packs, but I got 1.8K followers almost without any activity.

It's still a mystery for me how 🤔

I will add you to a starter pack, Victor :)

And the growth doesn't stop. It's not that big but it's stable.

On Twitter it was like this if I tweeted regularly in 2021. Here it "just grows" 🤷‍♂️

I wonder how BlueSky will monetarize their business in the long term.

I wrote about it:
businessandmarketing.substack.com/p/bluesky-fad-or-real-success

But they do not want to monetise it via ads or by training AI with our data. Their plan could be "premium membership – subscription". We will see their steps in the future.

it was a nice read, thanks for putting it all together Nika!

one small correction though, in the 'How to grow on the platform' section' it says starter packs have up to 150 people.

i just made one for Notion creators, and it says 50 is a maximum. so might want to correct that :)

Is it possible that every user has limited options? Because I could create with 150.

Thank you for the tools and the information.

Why I think this place has a future: I don't feel the algo bottleneck here.

If things remain how they are now, it's a no-brainer, at least for some bubbles/communities (like tech). It can grow as long as other communities will join, in time.

Interesting POV. But I hope that peeps beyond the tech will join too. :)
