We can almost build this without Bluesky’s help

I've been working on this with our amazing team for five months now, and we're getting very close to sharing more about what we've been up to. I'm so excited.

People will always use a bridge — literal or figurative — if it gets them somewhere they need to or want to go.

What is the premium subscription price that would make it worth it for a news company to offer a full text RSS feed?

What would be their concern? Their users can copy and paste the article from the website already.

Why has this never been offered?

Are those rotten ads that profitable?

Matt Terenzio @librenews.bsky.social · 3d

But even so, offer a more expensive ad free option. These sites are a pain to use, even for paid subscribers

I can't make it down to Brooklyn but will certainly volunteer up the domain if the community needs it

I was wondering if a better implementation of activitypub could solve that issue or whether the protocol itself would need to change to solve it

Matt Terenzio @librenews.bsky.social · 6d

at least I’m it’s current form or current popular implementations? Real question

Matt Terenzio @librenews.bsky.social · 6d

Testing out my Feedbrainer app with @scripting.com . Still some rough edges, like I know there are more recent relevant posts for these questions. Still looks promising.

Saying you don't like algorithms is like saying you don't like the Bee Gees disco songs. You are lying, maybe to yourself

Friction reduces usage. AI reduces friction. That means AI won’t replace traditional app usage, it will expand it. Just like the iPhone didn’t replace desktop use, it made us use the internet more.

Matt Terenzio @librenews.bsky.social · 23d

Anything that is not managed becomes hard to maintain. And managing projects is hard itself. Can AI runaway with some bad pattern? Yes. AI can also fix it. And help manage it.

I'm a paying subscriber for my local news organization*, yet I just tried to read an article on my phone and it was a challenge from all the ad interruptions. Now I'm the bad guy for unsubscribing? It doesn't make sense

* I built the first in-house website for that organization over 20 years ago
