"text": "[0:00] Blue Sky is for everyone and we think\n[0:00] that over time the broader public\n[0:00] conversation needs to be on an open\n[0:00] protocol which is what we're built on.\n[0:00] I'm Wired senior writer Kate Nibs. Today\n[0:00] I sat down with Blue Sky CEO Jay Graer.\n[0:00] We discuss how influencers are joining\n[0:00] the platform, Blue Skyy's relationship\n[0:00] with news media and whether she would\n[0:00] welcome President Trump to Blue Sky.\n[0:00] This is the big interview.\n[0:00] [Music]\n[0:00] Jay, thank you so much for joining me\n[0:00] today. Thank you. Thanks for having me.\n[0:00] So, last time we talked in December, I\n[0:00] believe Blue Sky had just surpassed 24\n[0:00] 25 million users. Uh, where are you\n[0:00] today? 34.6 million users. What\n[0:00] milestones are you hoping to hit by the\n[0:00] end of 2025? There's a lot of new\n[0:00] features that we're launching and we're\n[0:00] excited to expand a lot. I think getting\n[0:00] in some of the things we've been talking\n[0:00] about for a long time like communities.\n[0:00] What does that look like? Yeah,\n[0:00] communities is a way that people are\n[0:00] already using feeds. A lot of people\n[0:00] don't realize that Blue Sky is a bit\n[0:00] like Reddit and Twitter at the same time\n[0:00] because you can build feeds that are\n[0:00] essentially communities. Like the\n[0:00] science feed is run by scientists,\n[0:00] moderated by scientists, and has its own\n[0:00] rules. And so this is something that you\n[0:00] can do, but you have to go outside the\n[0:00] app to do it right now. And so we've\n[0:00] talked to people who are running these\n[0:00] feeds and they would like better tooling\n[0:00] for making these into communities in the\n[0:00] app. And so that's the big idea, which\n[0:00] is essentially just making it easier to\n[0:00] create and run a custom feed, which is\n[0:00] an interface you can install into the\n[0:00] app that's like your own timeline, and\n[0:00] run that like a community of your own.\n[0:00] When you say you have to go outside of\n[0:00] the app, what does that mean? There's\n[0:00] third party services that have built\n[0:00] feed builders, services like Sky Feeds\n[0:00] or Grays. They let you create feeds\n[0:00] without knowing how to code. And you can\n[0:00] say, I want this list of people to\n[0:00] contribute to my feed. You can post into\n[0:00] it with this hashtag or this emoji. And\n[0:00] then you run it essentially like it's a\n[0:00] service that you're providing other\n[0:00] people. Other people can install it,\n[0:00] subscribe to it, pin it to the homepage\n[0:00] of their app. Any timeline for when this\n[0:00] is coming? Well, you asked about the end\n[0:00] of the year, so I think that's the the\n[0:00] most concrete timeline we can give at\n[0:00] the moment. And I know that you recently\n[0:00] rolled out video as a feature, which\n[0:00] we're very excited about. I think a lot\n[0:00] of people already conceptualize Blue Sky\n[0:00] as sort of a X competitor, but now are\n[0:00] you gunning for Tik Tok, too? We are, as\n[0:00] you know, built on an open protocol and\n[0:00] so other apps are starting to fill in\n[0:00] these open spaces. There is an app\n[0:00] called Skylight that has just gotten\n[0:00] 150,000 users and this is more of a\n[0:00] straight Tik Tok alternative. It lets\n[0:00] you post short form videos, you know,\n[0:00] edit them in app, create them. There's\n[0:00] these other apps springing up now on the\n[0:00] same protocol like Skylight, like\n[0:00] flashes for photos that do different\n[0:00] things. And the great thing about this\n[0:00] being an open protocol means that you\n[0:00] can move from Blue Sky over to Skylight\n[0:00] Social and keep your followers. So they\n[0:00] go with you across these applications.\n[0:00] So when you say they go with me, if I'm\n[0:00] going to port my followers over or even\n[0:00] just join these new apps, how would I do\n[0:00] that? Like do I actually go into the app\n[0:00] store and download something new or how\n[0:00] does it work? Yeah, you download\n[0:00] Skylight from the app store and then you\n[0:00] log in with your Blue Sky username if\n[0:00] you want to link them together. If you\n[0:00] don't want to link them, you can create\n[0:00] a new account. But if you link them, you\n[0:00] have the same number of followers and\n[0:00] the photos or videos that you post to\n[0:00] Skylight will also show up in Blue Sky\n[0:00] or vice versa. And like over time, the\n[0:00] apps can decide is everything going to,\n[0:00] you know, be shared across or is there\n[0:00] going to be some stuff that's separate?\n[0:00] But right now, it's sort of just a\n[0:00] shared data layer where you can have\n[0:00] people seeing your videos on Blue Sky\n[0:00] even if they're posted on Skylight. And\n[0:00] so does the Blue Sky team have anything\n[0:00] to do with the development of Skylight\n[0:00] or is it totally separate? It's totally\n[0:00] separate. Do you know know who developed\n[0:00] it at all? Like what are your\n[0:00] relationships like with the people who\n[0:00] are developing different apps on the\n[0:00] protocol? There was recently a\n[0:00] conference called the atmosphere\n[0:00] conference. We call the atmosphere the\n[0:00] broader ecosystem of applications around\n[0:00] the app protocol which is the layer blue\n[0:00] sky is built on and we met a lot of\n[0:00] folks there who are building even apps\n[0:00] we didn't know were being built. So\n[0:00] there's private messengers being built,\n[0:00] new forms of moderation tools. There's a\n[0:00] lot of ones out there that are\n[0:00] innovating on new forms of social built\n[0:00] on this shared layer because they can\n[0:00] immediately tap into the blue sky user\n[0:00] base and just add features on rather\n[0:00] than having to start from zero. So\n[0:00] that's the benefit to developers of\n[0:00] building in an open ecosystem. You don't\n[0:00] have to start from zero each time. You\n[0:00] start over and now you have 34.6 million\n[0:00] users to tap into. So I know there's\n[0:00] blue sky the app and then it's built on\n[0:00] this app protocol and that's how all of\n[0:00] these people are developing these new\n[0:00] cool video and photo apps and\n[0:00] everything. So the teams are separate.\n[0:00] As the CEO of Blue Sky, like if one of\n[0:00] the video apps were to go mega viral and\n[0:00] surpass Blue Sky wildly, etc. Would that\n[0:00] help you or would it just sort of be a\n[0:00] wash for you? It would help us because\n[0:00] these are shared backends if you recall.\n[0:00] So that means that all those videos\n[0:00] would be being able to be viewed on Blue\n[0:00] Sky too. probably change the way that\n[0:00] people could interact over on Blue Sky\n[0:00] because all this content would be coming\n[0:00] in from another application. Just like\n[0:00] all the content created on Blue Sky can\n[0:00] be borrowed over there, we can borrow\n[0:00] from the other apps as well. And then it\n[0:00] means that you know if they're building\n[0:00] on our services over time, one of the\n[0:00] pathways to monetization we've mentioned\n[0:00] is developer services. So building out\n[0:00] infrastructure for new apps to get\n[0:00] started sort of like a Firebase for\n[0:00] social if you will where you get new\n[0:00] apps off the ground and then you know\n[0:00] provide infrastructure to them. So, I've\n[0:00] noticed that there has been sort of an\n[0:00] influx of big creators onto Blue Sky,\n[0:00] but right now there's no direct way for\n[0:00] creators to monetize their work on Blue\n[0:00] Sky in the way that there is on say\n[0:00] YouTube. Are you working on ways to\n[0:00] change that? Yeah, one things that we've\n[0:00] seen is that we're not giving creators\n[0:00] money, but we're giving them really\n[0:00] great traffic and that can convert to\n[0:00] money because if you're a YouTube\n[0:00] creator or you have a Patreon and you're\n[0:00] posting your Patreon link, one big thing\n[0:00] is we don't downrank links and so you're\n[0:00] getting higher link traffic on Blue Sky\n[0:00] even with a smaller follower count. This\n[0:00] is true of small creators and even news\n[0:00] organizations have been reporting this\n[0:00] difference in engagement and\n[0:00] click-through numbers. We've heard from\n[0:00] large news organizations that Blue Sky\n[0:00] is giving better click-throughs and\n[0:00] better subscription rates. And so this\n[0:00] converts to money once you get people\n[0:00] onto your site. So I think this is one\n[0:00] of the big benefits we're leaning into\n[0:00] right now is just giving people that\n[0:00] direct traffic, that direct relationship\n[0:00] with their audience and giving them the\n[0:00] ability to monetize however they want.\n[0:00] Down the road, we might introduce other\n[0:00] mechanisms, but right now it's just\n[0:00] about being the best platform to serve\n[0:00] creators needs in terms of giving them\n[0:00] attention, giving them engagement, and\n[0:00] giving them the ability to move with\n[0:00] their followers, right? So, as I\n[0:00] mentioned before, if you're a video\n[0:00] creator and you do some content on Blue\n[0:00] Sky to build up a following, and then\n[0:00] you download Skylight and you start\n[0:00] posting different kinds of content over\n[0:00] there, you can have that photograph just\n[0:00] go with you and start building on it. So\n[0:00] it's cumulative rather than also as a\n[0:00] creator starting from scratch each app\n[0:00] you move to. I love that as someone\n[0:00] who's jumped from app to app in the past\n[0:00] that sounds very helpful. And when you\n[0:00] were talking about traffic for\n[0:00] traditional news organizations I know\n[0:00] that traditionally the news media and\n[0:00] social media have had sort of an\n[0:00] antagonistic relationship. like it's\n[0:00] been obviously a huge driver of traffic\n[0:00] for news outlets, but then they're sort\n[0:00] of beholdened to people like Mark\n[0:00] Zuckerberg or Elon Musk and and what\n[0:00] they want to do to the news. Do you have\n[0:00] a broader vision for how you want Blue\n[0:00] Sky to interact with like the\n[0:00] information ecosystem or the news media?\n[0:00] Yeah, we want to create a more direct\n[0:00] relationship again and be the place\n[0:00] where we make those relationships\n[0:00] happen. And so rather than being the\n[0:00] single feed that all user attention\n[0:00] passes through where small algorithm\n[0:00] changes can affect how much traffic a\n[0:00] news organization is getting, we want to\n[0:00] give direct traffic to news or even let\n[0:00] them do things like build their own\n[0:00] feeds or link their domain directly as\n[0:00] their username. Clicking that just\n[0:00] clicks you directly through to your\n[0:00] site. You can also right now create\n[0:00] verified news feeds. Some people have\n[0:00] been building these in the community and\n[0:00] so users can just scroll through all the\n[0:00] news articles being posted. This means\n[0:00] that you're getting direct traffic\n[0:00] because you're not depending on the\n[0:00] algorithm which might be at any given\n[0:00] moment showing more or less news to a\n[0:00] given user. If the users are interested,\n[0:00] they can just subscribe to a news feed\n[0:00] and see all the articles being published\n[0:00] on Blue Sky in one place. So recently\n[0:00] there's been a pretty noticeable influx\n[0:00] of bigger name celebrities on the app,\n[0:00] including some of the biggest names in\n[0:00] Democratic politics like Barack Obama\n[0:00] and Hillary Clinton just joined for\n[0:00] instance. Are you doing anything to\n[0:00] court the celebrities or really famous\n[0:00] influencers? We're doing some community\n[0:00] outreach. We've had a very\n[0:00] communitydriven growth strategy. And so\n[0:00] we're seeing a lot of growth in sectors\n[0:00] with maybe not as big celebrities, but a\n[0:00] lot of traction in areas like, you know,\n[0:00] sports media, for example. Mina Kims, a\n[0:00] sports reporter, came on and she created\n[0:00] a starter pack, which got a lot of\n[0:00] followers very quickly because when you\n[0:00] create starter packs, which are\n[0:00] essentially lists of accounts that\n[0:00] bundle together everyone in a given\n[0:00] field, when new people come on through\n[0:00] that link, they're following all of them\n[0:00] at once. So that's been a way that\n[0:00] communities have been onboarding outside\n[0:00] of, you know, politics or like even\n[0:00] large celebrities. We have game devs, we\n[0:00] have sports, we have science. Lots of\n[0:00] these different interests are kind of\n[0:00] starting with people building custom\n[0:00] starter packs and then bringing on folks\n[0:00] directly into their community. Some of\n[0:00] these bigger name people who are\n[0:00] joining, you know, they do tend to be\n[0:00] liberal politicians when they're\n[0:00] politicians. I'm wondering, would you\n[0:00] welcome President Trump if he was\n[0:00] debating joining Blue Sky? Yeah, blue\n[0:00] sky is for everyone, you know, and we\n[0:00] think that over time the broader public\n[0:00] conversation needs to be on an open\n[0:00] protocol, which is what we're built on\n[0:00] because that lets people choose their\n[0:00] own moderation preferences. It lets\n[0:00] people choose their own feed\n[0:00] preferences, and things can evolve\n[0:00] without it being a binary choice, which\n[0:00] is like everyone has to adhere to this\n[0:00] set of moderation rules or that one. You\n[0:00] can have customization both within the\n[0:00] app and outside of it. Right now, you\n[0:00] know, it's people who feel that there's\n[0:00] more direct benefits to being on here if\n[0:00] you're a creator or somebody who wants\n[0:00] to have a direct relationship with your\n[0:00] audience. But over time, the benefit of\n[0:00] this protocol-based approach, I think,\n[0:00] will extend to all sorts of social media\n[0:00] users. So, right now, we're in this\n[0:00] moment where free speech is under threat\n[0:00] and free speech on the internet is under\n[0:00] threat. I'm wondering how you envision\n[0:00] Blue Skye's relationship to speech,\n[0:00] including political speech, and and what\n[0:00] your obligations are to your users and I\n[0:00] guess to the internet at large. I think\n[0:00] building on an open protocol like we've\n[0:00] done is the most enduring foundation for\n[0:00] speech because what we're doing is\n[0:00] creating a digital commons of user data\n[0:00] where you really get to control your own\n[0:00] identity and your data. And then we're\n[0:00] building, you know, infrastructure that\n[0:00] I hope stays around for a really long\n[0:00] time because Blue Sky the app is just\n[0:00] one site where speech can happen and all\n[0:00] these other apps are showing that you\n[0:00] can have an ecosystem of a lot of\n[0:00] different applications. This is like the\n[0:00] web itself. Early on, we had AOL and\n[0:00] accessing the internet happened through\n[0:00] AOL. And if the AOL web portal wasn't\n[0:00] showing you something, it would be a lot\n[0:00] harder to find. And then more\n[0:00] unopinionated browsers came along and\n[0:00] these just linked you out to the broader\n[0:00] internet. And now anyone can put up a\n[0:00] blog and host their own views online.\n[0:00] And then there's larger websites if you\n[0:00] want to, you know, be on Substack or\n[0:00] Medium. But you can either self-host or\n[0:00] choose one of these. This is the kind of\n[0:00] ecosystem we're building. Anyone can\n[0:00] self-host. And then the question of, you\n[0:00] know, freedom of speech, not reach is\n[0:00] made very tangible because then the\n[0:00] sites like the sort of mediums of the\n[0:00] world that host a lot of blogs get to\n[0:00] choose their moderation rules. But if\n[0:00] individuals are unhappy with that, they\n[0:00] can start a new site or host their own\n[0:00] blog. For people who might not be\n[0:00] familiar with the phrase freedom of\n[0:00] speech, not freedom of reach, could you\n[0:00] explain it? Yeah, this was a principle\n[0:00] that old Twitter talked about early on\n[0:00] and when we were spinning out of\n[0:00] Twitter, I never worked for Twitter, but\n[0:00] we opened up this new design space\n[0:00] around blue sky, which was how do we\n[0:00] embed that into a protocol layer. So the\n[0:00] freedom of speech is embedded in the\n[0:00] protocol. Anyone can do the equivalent\n[0:00] of standing up a new blog and then the\n[0:00] sites like blue sky which are the\n[0:00] applications get to decide you know how\n[0:00] are we going to prioritize reach you\n[0:00] know we do have a default algorithm but\n[0:00] you can choose any other algorithm you\n[0:00] want and so we don't necessarily show\n[0:00] everything in the algorithm or the\n[0:00] default service but if you want to find\n[0:00] something elsewhere you can go elsewhere\n[0:00] in the ecosystem to find it that means\n[0:00] that you have the pathways that the apps\n[0:00] are deciding what is going to be most\n[0:00] accessible and then if you want to\n[0:00] change the rules you can build another\n[0:00] And that's guarantee of freedom of\n[0:00] speech is being always able to build\n[0:00] your own thing or find your own space\n[0:00] that serves you the most. So as you're\n[0:00] scaling up, I know that you hired\n[0:00] additional moderators to tackle some of\n[0:00] the necessary moderation challenges like\n[0:00] CSAM. How challenging is it as as you're\n[0:00] scaling up to sort of balance offering\n[0:00] this level of customization with just\n[0:00] the sort of basic things you need to do\n[0:00] as a social network for everyone like\n[0:00] you know keep pornography off for\n[0:00] example. Yeah. I mean, we're running a\n[0:00] foundational moderation service. So, we\n[0:00] get to choose the rules within the Blue\n[0:00] Sky app. And like I said, you can fork\n[0:00] off, do your own thing, but within the\n[0:00] parameters of Blue Sky, we're setting\n[0:00] what the rules are. And so, we employ\n[0:00] moderation team to do this. We face some\n[0:00] of the same challenges as centralized\n[0:00] social apps because to run a centralized\n[0:00] moderation team, you're doing a lot of\n[0:00] the same kinds of work. And so, I would\n[0:00] say it's it's very similar at the base\n[0:00] layer. And then we have this extra\n[0:00] options that we've layered on top for\n[0:00] users to choose their own spaces. And in\n[0:00] some cases that means that users are\n[0:00] able to resolve things more locally. So\n[0:00] for example within the feeds that run a\n[0:00] bit like communities you can moderate\n[0:00] things, resolve things locally but still\n[0:00] it's a broader blue sky application has\n[0:00] its own set of rules. How many countries\n[0:00] are you operating in right now or do you\n[0:00] have users everywhere? We have a lot of\n[0:00] users in different countries. Some of\n[0:00] the biggest are the US of course, Japan,\n[0:00] Brazil and various countries in the EU.\n[0:00] Are there unique challenges in certain\n[0:00] locations and if so what are they? Each\n[0:00] place has their own regulatory\n[0:00] guidelines and you know we try to be in\n[0:00] compliance and that's part of being a\n[0:00] global company is just learning to\n[0:00] operate in different places. I think\n[0:00] over the long run there will be\n[0:00] applications just like skylight is\n[0:00] targeted towards video. Maybe there's\n[0:00] applications targeted towards different\n[0:00] markets. Early on, we saw several\n[0:00] Japanese users build Japan focused\n[0:00] applications. Before we had gotten\n[0:00] internationalization into the app, so\n[0:00] you know, different languages depending\n[0:00] on where you're based. People built\n[0:00] their own apps to do that. So that's an\n[0:00] example of how you can customize things\n[0:00] to your own local market. Speaking of\n[0:00] local markets, we're in Seattle, which\n[0:00] is where you're based, but is Blue Sky\n[0:00] currently remote forward workspace? How\n[0:00] are you guys set up? We're a fully\n[0:00] remote team and part of the reason for\n[0:00] this is we wanted to hire people who\n[0:00] care deeply about the mission and are\n[0:00] really aligned in what we're doing have\n[0:00] some of the experience in social, have\n[0:00] experience in open protocols and that\n[0:00] combination is rare and hard to find. So\n[0:00] if we tried to hire all in one city we\n[0:00] wouldn't be getting the best people out\n[0:00] there but as it is we've hired from\n[0:00] several different countries all over the\n[0:00] United States because there's people all\n[0:00] over that are interested in the vision\n[0:00] of what we're building. And what brought\n[0:00] you to Seattle originally? I moved here\n[0:00] during the pandemic. I was previously in\n[0:00] San Francisco and it's a really nice\n[0:00] city. I mean, the nature, the water, the\n[0:00] mountains, it's a place where nature is\n[0:00] really accessible and I really like\n[0:00] that. And I understand that you have a\n[0:00] background in crypto. I know that the\n[0:00] largest investor in Blue Sky is a\n[0:00] venture capital firm that sort of\n[0:00] specializes in crypto investing. Does\n[0:00] Blue Sky have more in common with a\n[0:00] crypto startup than one might like\n[0:00] originally suspect? Well, the term web 3\n[0:00] got very associated with cryptocurrency.\n[0:00] So, it's not a good word to use for what\n[0:00] we're doing anymore because there isn't\n[0:00] a blockchain or a cryptocurrency\n[0:00] involved. But, if you want to think\n[0:00] about web 3 as evolving the social web 2\n[0:00] version forward, that kind of is what\n[0:00] we're doing. We're evolving forward\n[0:00] social media that was based in\n[0:00] centralized companies into something\n[0:00] that is open and distributed. And that\n[0:00] was some of the goals underlying the web\n[0:00] 3 movement that had a lot of blockchains\n[0:00] involved. We just didn't build on that\n[0:00] technical foundation of a blockchain\n[0:00] because we didn't need it. You can\n[0:00] achieve a lot of the same things using\n[0:00] open web principles and more web 1.0\n[0:00] kinds of technology which is for example\n[0:00] our identity system lets you use a\n[0:00] domain name as your username. So you can\n[0:00] be likewired.com as your username.\n[0:00] That's just a web 1.0 technology brought\n[0:00] into a social media sphere. And so I\n[0:00] think our investors really saw that\n[0:00] vision and they're also excited about\n[0:00] building out the broader dev ecosystem\n[0:00] which is something we really wanted\n[0:00] alignment on. We want investors who care\n[0:00] about seeing this entire world of social\n[0:00] media come to life, not just one\n[0:00] application blue sky succeeding. Yeah.\n[0:00] What would building out the dev\n[0:00] ecosystem look like? It's starting to\n[0:00] happen. So, the atmosphere conference,\n[0:00] which I mentioned, was started and run\n[0:00] by the community. We heard about it\n[0:00] partway through and sponsored it, but\n[0:00] they found other sponsors as well. And\n[0:00] it's something that's taking off sort of\n[0:01] as a movement of people to reclaim\n[0:01] social. And Blue Sky and the Open\n[0:01] Protocol is a great place to do a lot of\n[0:01] this building. People are getting in and\n[0:01] starting to build different\n[0:01] applications, starting to propose new\n[0:01] ways the protocol could be evolved.\n[0:01] Private data, for example, is not\n[0:01] something that we have in Blue Sky at\n[0:01] the moment as part of the protocol, but\n[0:01] people are proposing new ways to do\n[0:01] private data for their applications that\n[0:01] they're building. And so, moving\n[0:01] forward, the app protocol, I don't think\n[0:01] all the development will just be within\n[0:01] the Blue Sky Company. It will be other\n[0:01] people building their own applications\n[0:01] and then modifying the protocol and\n[0:01] suggesting changes that meet the needs\n[0:01] of what they're trying to do. And when\n[0:01] you say the Blue Sky Company, like would\n[0:01] you be the CEO of all of this or or just\n[0:01] the platform? I am just the CEO of Blue\n[0:01] Sky Social. So, we have built out the\n[0:01] app protocol and we maintain the Blue\n[0:01] Sky application. So, we'll always\n[0:01] maintain the Blue Sky app, but the app\n[0:01] protocol is going to take on a life of\n[0:01] its own. Pieces of it are going to be\n[0:01] standardized. Pieces of it are going to\n[0:01] be stewarded by the community and it's\n[0:01] going to evolve in different directions\n[0:01] as the new people who are getting\n[0:01] involved shape it. Right now, you do\n[0:01] have some investor money. Is your stance\n[0:01] on advertising still the same? Where are\n[0:01] you with subscriptions? Basically, this\n[0:01] is me asking you how are you planning to\n[0:01] make money? Yeah, subscriptions are\n[0:01] actually coming soon as well. So, that\n[0:01] got delayed for a few months last year\n[0:01] doing during our growth spurt, but we're\n[0:01] reapproaching how we're going to do\n[0:01] them. And I think the next steps down\n[0:01] the road are also to look into what kind\n[0:01] of marketplaces can we build that span\n[0:01] some of these different applications.\n[0:01] There's other apps in the ecosystem that\n[0:01] are experimenting with say, you know,\n[0:01] placing sponsored posts and feeds and\n[0:01] things like that. I've mentioned before,\n[0:01] I think ads eventually in some form work\n[0:01] their way into an attention economy, but\n[0:01] we're not going to do ads the way\n[0:01] traditional social apps did because we\n[0:01] don't have a single feed. And the\n[0:01] traditional ad model is usually getting\n[0:01] everyone to spend as much time engaged\n[0:01] on a single feed as possible and then\n[0:01] putting ads in there. Since we have lots\n[0:01] of different feeds, even if we did that,\n[0:01] you could switch away and use a\n[0:01] different feed because this one has too\n[0:01] many ads. And so it kind of constrains\n[0:01] the open model of what we've done,\n[0:01] constrains what we can do. We'll just\n[0:01] let people experiment and see what comes\n[0:01] out of it. Some people watching this\n[0:01] video might not be super familiar with\n[0:01] Blue Sky. What do you want people to\n[0:01] know about this platform? I'd want them\n[0:01] to know this is a choose your own\n[0:01] adventure game. So you can get in there\n[0:01] and customize the experience as much as\n[0:01] you want. And if you're not finding what\n[0:01] you want within the Blue Sky app, there\n[0:01] might be another app out there that is\n[0:01] still part of the Blue Sky app at\n[0:01] protocol ecosystem that will give you\n[0:01] what you want. like if it's, you know,\n[0:01] videos or images or maybe a different\n[0:01] kind of feed experience, like let's say\n[0:01] the discover feed isn't giving you what\n[0:01] you want, you can install a different\n[0:01] one and find the stuff you want. And if\n[0:01] you can't find it, you can build it. And\n[0:01] so the options are really endless. I\n[0:01] think it takes some time to get in there\n[0:01] and really set things up the way that\n[0:01] you like it. But then once you do, it's\n[0:01] a great place to be because you don't\n[0:01] get this level of control anywhere else.\n[0:01] I mean, you've kind of sold me on\n[0:01] becoming a app developer for this\n[0:01] protocol. I might be making a career\n[0:01] pivot soon. So, thank you. Yeah, I think\n[0:01] there's lots of technical folks who\n[0:01] watch, you know, wired interviews as\n[0:01] well, and I would just love for them to\n[0:01] know that this is an open field to build\n[0:01] on. This is like early social era where\n[0:01] you can build anything on fully open\n[0:01] APIs. Well, thank you again for joining\n[0:01] us. Thank you.\n[0:01] [Music]\n",
