How am I wrong? Where does the money come from? Because someone is currently paying the bills and if it doesn’t grow they will stop.

There's no ads on this site, there's no monetization at all and there never has been. You can't say it's failed before it's even been attempted.

It doesn’t have nearly enough users to make either an ads or a subscription model work. That’s not hard to calculate, given active user numbers are public. So…no growth, no monetisation. And there’s no growth.

It has around 40 million users last numbers I saw. With a $10/month premium service and only 1% conversion that's $48,000,000 a year in revenue. Easily enough to afford servers and the current team's salaries.

40 million registered users, but most of them are not actually using the site on a regular basis bsky.app/profile/jame...
