@raphael I agree with you on this one, but a "for pay" service will never really compete on the same level as a free one... I hope you agree with me on this one.So we're back to what I was saying earlier with a little more clarity: the incentives for "**free** social media" are not aligned to the well being of its users. So, my conclusion is that BlueSky the company has no real path to staying free and not taking advantage of their users. I surely hope they find a way, but, like I said, I'm skeptical.@openrisk

@markgrieveson I've been aware of this (sort of) for awhile. I used it once years ago to my advantage with Dell Computers when I was buying some computers for the office. I went to the site, picked out what I wanted to buy, but didn't buy it on the first day. Instead I clicked on the items once a day for a week and they kept lowering the price. I ended up saving about $100 per machine and was able to do it "on budget".But mostly, it sux.
