Bluesky Now Has 24 Million Users. Jay Graber Is Still Vowing to Keep It From Enshittification


At WIRED's The Big Interview event, Bluesky CEO Jay Graber discussed the booming user numbers for the Twitter rival and why giving social media users more control is a recipe for success.

On Tuesday, during WIRED’s Big Interview event in San Francisco, she vowed to keep that promise, saying that the company is still “focused on making sure it’s a good experience [for users] as we scale,” she said. “Subscriptions are the first step,” Graber said, referring to a plan to have users pay a regular fee for the ability to upload higher-quality video, for example, or access certain customization features. Bluesky was incubated as a social media experiment inside of Twitter, though it went fully independent before Elon Musk’s purchase of its former parent company and name change to X.
