Bluesky is “prioritizing” building its own payment platform.
Bluesky COO Rose Wang, in an interview with Buffer:
Where we want monetization to go is to align our incentives with our users, creators and developers. And so as they’re making more money, we should be making money, but if they’re not making money, we shouldn’t be making money. And so our goal is: let’s build a payment system so that it enables these payments to work on the app and across other apps on the ecosystem much easier. And then we’ll increase the volume of those transactions, and the creators and folks take home most of it, and we just take a percentage of the transaction fee.
It might take awhile before they arrive, Wang says. The planned subscription is also set to launch early next year.
