Bluesky’s upcoming premium plan won’t give paid users special treatment

Bluesky says it's working on premium subscriptions as it looks to start generating revenue. The platform added that it won't add support for the likes of crypto trading or NFTs.

“We’re proud of our vibrant community of creators, including artists, writers, developers and more, and we want to establish a voluntary monetization path for them as well,” it said in a blog post. Even though the lead investor in this round is Web3 VC company Blockchain Capital, Bluesky "will not hyperfinancialize the social experience (through tokens, crypto trading, NFTs, etc)." Subscription revenue helps us improve the app, grow the developer ecosystem and gives us time to explore business models beyond traditional ads."
