Bluesky is planning a full acquisition on the social internet

When you talk about this new ecosystem of applications, is it the idea that you are the CEO of all this, or just Bluesky?

I am only the CEO of Bluesky Social. We have built the protocol, and we keep the Bluesky app, but the protocol will take its own life. Parts of it will be unified, will be supervised by society, and will develop in different directions where new people form it.

If one of these applications explodes and transcends Bluesky, will it help or harm your work?

This will help us – because this participant is shared, if you remember.

Let’s say that the video app, Skylight, goes Megaviral. How does this shared back interface become relevant?

This means that you can view all these videos on Bluesky as well. It is likely to change the way people interact on Bluesky, because all this content will come from another application. Also, one of the liqueflying paths we mentioned is the services of developers.

How do you plan to earn money?

Subscriptions are coming soon. The following steps are to consider markets that can extend these different applications. Other applications in the ecosystem experience public care and things. I think the ads in the end, in some form, are working on their way, but we will not do ads in the way in which traditional social applications did. We will allow people to experience and see what comes out of it.

There has been a flow from adult creators on Bluesky, but there is no direct way for them to achieve income from their work yet. Will it change that?

We give them a great traffic – which can turn into money. One big thing is that we do not publish links, so if you are creative on YouTube or you have Patreon and publish these links on Bluesky, you will get a higher link traffic, even with a smaller follower. This is true for young creators and even news organizations. We have heard from large news organizations that Bluesky has a better click and better subscription rates. (Wireless You can see this: The statute has become the best traffic player and a source of new subscribers.))

Democratic Party’s stars such as Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton joined Bluezki. Do you do anything for celebrities and influencers?

We are doing some community communication. We see a lot of growth in the sectors that may not be not large but a lot of traction, like sports media. Sports correspondent Mina Kims came and created a starting package, which got many followers very quickly. Our Devs game, we have a sport, we have a flag.

Do you welcome President Trump?

Yes – Bluesky’s for everyone, and we believe that over time, you should be the broader public conversation in an open protocol. This allows people to choose their moderate preferences. We believe that it is flexible enough to serve each case and everyone.

We are at this moment when freedom of expression is threatened. How do you think about that?

I think building on an open protocol is the most important basis for speech. We create digital rumors from user data where you can control your identity and data. We build the infrastructure that I hope will remain for a long time. Bluesky, app, is just one site where speech can occur.
