The loudest complaint I see about threads (lack of hyperlinks) doesn't apply there. Also, Threads seems covered in growth-hacking dark patterns, like the notification/activity screen being flooded with "picked for you".
edit: my big worry about BSky is the lack of any coherent monetization plan. This isn't community-funded stuff like Mastodon, it's VC-funded software - there will be a need for revenue at some point and then what happens?
- threeseed 2y ago> notification/activity screen being flooded with "picked for you" Strange. Have been on Threads since launch and have never seen this. Nor have I seen any growth-hacking dark patterns other than the For You algorithm pushing high-engagement content which they've said they are sorting out. But a lot of this is because Threads has the legacy of being built on Instagram.
- Pxtl 2y agoIt mostly seemed to happen on the web client - I tend to avoid "apps" I'd click the "heart" to check my notifications and it would be just a firehose of "picked for you" streaming in. Also iirc it launched without a chronological feed.

I assumed there would be ads at some point, but that's not the way that they are going for now. > we will begin developing a subscription model for features like higher quality video uploads or profile customizations like colors and avatar frames. https://bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2024-series-a https://bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2024-series-a
