   @Natasha_Jay @goatsarah @marlies what does vc backed mean? Thank you for this discussion. I was on Bluesky and saw this happening. It was alarming.

     @AllysonShaw @Natasha_Jay @marlies They basically have no business model beyond “create a pool of content which someone will pay for”.

     And generating harassment drives engagement, so it’s not in their interest to clamp down too hard on it. Their ideal strategy is “slightly less harassment than Twitter”

     @goatsarah @marlies @Natasha_Jay thank you, Sarah! I was wondering if those who own the site are just hoping to populate it with content at any cost so that it can be sold on- or whatever. The vibe there is very different.
