Very exciting news: The Onion has started a creative agency.

My colleague @katiehicks.bsky.social at Marketing Brew interviewed Bluesky COO @rose.bsky.team. "Bluesky has more than 21 million users. Where does it go from here?"
Bluesky has more than 21 million users. Where does it go from here?
The platform won’t touch ads for now, and is instead focused on paid subscriptions, payments, and getting more people signed up, its COO said.
