Social networking startup and X competitor Bluesky is working on subscriptions. The company first announced plans to develop a new revenue stream based on the subscription model when detailing its $15 million Series A back in October.

The problem with ads is advertisers want to be able to target specific groups of people, which means the platform needs to violate your privacy to get that information.
