Yeah, venture capital. We had that with Twitter.

@isotopp This is a screenshot of a Wired news article page. The top navigation bar features a hamburger menu icon on the left, the WIRED logo centered, and "SUBSCRIBE" text with a user profile icon on the top right. Below the header, a black box contains the author name "KATE KNIBBS", followed by the section "BUSINESS" and the date "MAR 9, 2026 3:00 PM". The headline reads "Bluesky CEO Jay Graber Is Stepping Down", with a subheading stating: "Venture capitalist Toni Schneider will take over as interim CEO as Bluesky’s board of directors hunts for a permanent replacement". A photograph beneath the text shows a person with curly hair wearing a black blazer and dark pants, seated against a purple grid background. The bottom of the image displays the text "Get WIRED.

@isotopp Most people like and identify with their abusers. They get anxious when presented with alternatives that require assuming a minor discomfort or learning curve. That's where we are.

What's more mysterious to me is why journalists and competent news shops / scientists / NGOs flock to corporate platforms? It's a dead end. The corporate model is antithetical to journalism.
