This week,cerita lucah budak we got an early look at the potential details of Bluesky+, the social media site's planned premium subscription offering.
Still, don't get ready to shell out your cash just yet. Bluesky seems to be relatively early in the process, but the company did reveal a mockup of its plans for the subscription service on its official Github page.
As Techcrunch noted, the mockup on the site indicated Bluesky listed paid features such as custom app icons, a Bluesky+ profile badge, inline post translations, profile customizations, better quality video uploads, post analytics, and bookmark folders. The mockup showed prices of $8 per month or $72 per year for the subscription offering.

Bluesky warned on its Github page that the mockup was just that — a mockup — and would likely not match the eventual list of features when it's released.

In response to the mockups, bluesky software engineer Dan Abramov posted: "[Just] flagging that this is a UI mockup and the list of features doesn’t necessarily match what will be released. [We] need to get better at avoiding setting expectations via mockups since it’s open source so people poke at every branch"
Abramov also reiterated what Bluesky promised back in October, that subscribers would not get prioritization or special verification, aka some of what subscribers get on Elon Musk's X.
