I’m curious how blusky plans to monetize their user base?
Or will they operate without profit for a decade?
Discussion
Probably subscriptions or paid tipping or something
Can a subscription cover that?

no need to monetize if the userbase is growing fast enough. It’s like paying with equity. Money is for buying attention.
Well, at some point the investors are going to want to some sort return on their investment. I doubt attention equity is going to appease them, unless there's some additional plan to use that attention to generate money.
Probably some sort of premium subscription. Although I don't know which features will be exclusively for premium members.
I heard they're planning to sell premium memberships like Twatter
Not sure what the perks will be tho
Probs similar to nostr. Lots of hobbyist infrastructure which can work quite well. The bigger question for me is how will its central registry handle state attack?
Yes
