The conversation then shifts to the age-old question of revenue generation through advertisements. Jay expresses caution regarding traditional advertising models that have contributed to a "resource curse" within social networks. Instead of prioritizing ad dollars over user experience, Blue Sky offers a marketplace of feeds, allowing users to tailor their experiences and ensuring that no single feed can degrade the overall platform through over-saturation of ads.

While traditional advertising may not play a central role, Blue Sky is exploring alternative models, including subscription services. Jay hints at future offerings that could enhance user value, such as custom domain names, while emphasizing that any monetization strategy must align with user needs and preferences.
