   Wired magazine falls for Bluesky's BS that it's decentralized. It could be, but it isn't.

   This is tech journalism of the old style: credulous worship that isn't close to being justified by the reality.

   Wired is better than this, or should be.

     @dangillmor @aapis I can very much confirm that Wired isn’t, and has never been, better than this. Wired is Silicon Valley’s PR rag and it always has been.

     How do you plan to make money?

     Bluesky CEO: "Subscriptions are coming soon. The next steps are to look into what market­places can span these different applications. Other apps in the ecosystem are experimenting with sponsored posts and things like that.

     I think ads eventually, in some form, work their way in, but we’re not going to do ads the way traditional social apps did. We’ll let people experiment and see what comes out of it."

     There you have it.
