Bluesky was a great idea, and I'm glad it's here for former Twatter users.
But the 'copy link' and share button were removed from the android platform I use. It's pretty much useless to me now.

I didn't verify, but even if not a real ad ($150 seems unrealistically cheap), it's an excellent idea for those who can tolerate looking at that shape for the reward of watching it burn
