I'm reasonably sure they will be able to fund continued development without merch drops: https://www.businessinsider.com/x-competitor-bluesky-valuation-new-fun

  Funding =/= monentization, and the former presupposes a need for the latter

    The monetization strategy has already been announced. I’m pointing out that there is no near-term scenario where the bills aren’t getting paid.

      The article you posted doesn't hint at any strategy toward monetization, and only links to a blog post from 2 years. Have they done anything besides sell domain names and tshirts ? Also accepting investment from Bain Capital is a terrible omen.

        Their first significant monetized product will be a Discord Nitro-type subscription for accounts that will enable HQ media, more allowed media posts, visual gimcracks, etc.
