The budget for Mastodon gGmbH is measured in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and Bluesky's is much more than that.

Yet, Bluesky didn't even support video posts until two weeks ago. Many other highly requested features are still missing. To what extent does the success of each platform come down to money? What did Bluesky do with a larger budget to get an edge?

My recollection is that they advertised and got Important People™ to post there as part of their invite-only beta. Don't quote me on this, but I believe they paid some of these people to create accounts and post there. Not sure if that was a rumor or not.

I looked around, but was unable to find more about this. Until something new comes up, I'm assuming it's just a rumor.
