JAKARTA Bluesky, a competitor microblog platform X, has grown very rapidly in the past year. In November last year, Bluesky users were only two million, but now it has reached more than 13 million.

With so many users today, the platform, previously led by Jack Dorsey, will launch subscription packages like X. This news was confirmed directly by Bluesky Chief Operations Rose Wang.

Through his personal account, Wang explained that subscription packages were created to help them develop. Although there are some features that can only be accessed specifically for paid users, Bluesky will not provide a special label.

This means that paid users will not see a Premium account label or blue tick next to their account name. Overall, free users still benefit because Bluesky does not limit important features.

"Our biggest cost is team and infrastructure. Subscription revenue helps us improve applications, develop development ecosystems, and gives us time to explore business models outside of traditional advertising," Wang said.

Wang revealed several premium features that can be accessed by paid users. They can upload high-quality videos and customize profiles such as colors on profile or frame displays for avatars.

"(Overall) Bluesky will always be free to use. We believe that information and conversations should remain accessible to everyone," Wang explained.
