Social network Bluesky is focusing on videos. Last week, the company announced a new TIKTOK -style custom video feed last week after receiving the ban on popular video apps in the United States (currently suspended), and announced that it will add a new video tab to the Bluesky user profile on Monday. 。
In this tab, you can introduce the video uploaded to Bluesky, whether it is an original content, or from other social networks, including Tiktok. However, not only pursuing the possibility of social activities based on video, but also the spread of videos may provide another source of revenue to Bluesky. If you wish, you may be charged for a long time as a part of the Premium Subscription Plan in the future, such as long videos and higher quality videos.
However, not all Bluesky users are prepared for their network to become a mere Tiktok rival. Some people ask if they can disable their profile tabs in a reply to the company's presentation. Other users require Bluesky to prioritize other functions that are used in X, such as editing buttons.
Nevertheless, there is a clear demand for the construction of a video first Bluesky client and the developer interest at this time.
Some developers are already working on the “Bluesky Tiktok” app, of which the Bluesky application Skeets and the current “Bluesky Instagram” developer SEBASTIAN VOGELSANG and the FLASHES (certain “Bluesky Instagram”) are currently developed. Includes the REELO and Skylight development teams for the next app.
A prominent investor and entrepreneur Mark Cuban even recently said that it was positive to support video apps built based on the AT protocol that supported Bluesky.
The new user profile video tab has been introduced in the Bluesky 1.97 update, has also added menus to block users and delete conversations after reporting DM (direct message), and have improved other translation functions.
