I wonder how much of this is bc of the product, and not for lack of trying by the bsky team mind you. World cup and NBA highlights weren't here. The core product hasn't evolved much either. atproto has the primitives for a compelling social experience, bluesky just doesn't have the content.

when everyone has a different explanation of why the bad numbers are not that bad or why the small number is still very important, the simplest explanation is that the bad number is actually just indeed very bad

Content brings and audience, and audience brings more creators and pretty soon you have a self sustaining loop. Bsky tried to get legacy media and their content on here, they didn't bite. Now they're going for communities and hopefully they bring in worthwhile original content.

Now whether that works remains to be seen, I certainly hope it does, but until bsky find that spark to create that self sustaining loop, things will pretty much keep going the way they are.
