Bluesky barely had any effective marketing at all. Their main push was word of mouth and the "exclusivity" of launching under a invite-only system. That's it.

But "oh, this big tech wants my data and not yours" was enough.

In a world full of bots where machines can pass the Turing test, how do you know if this word of mouth wasn't actually a marketing campaign? And not to mention the tons of influencers creating content that is often nothing more than advertising.

The "exclusivity" thing was surely one.
