Counterpoint: having the appearance of exclusivity is usually a good way to grow.
Gmail originally grew because you needed an invite, so seemed like anyone with one was in an “exclusive club”, bluesky is using the same technique.
Yeah I can get behind that. I think it’s a separate conversation though.
(Also, I remember when I got my Gmail invite waaaay back in the day)
