Uh there's zero chance these big techs are selling voices like this. Also, this sounds very targeted and planned, so there must be more context to this. Also, why the hell are they on bluesky?
Because its probably the best twitter alternative
Not even close to Mastodon
Bluesky is more usable than Mastodon purely because it doesn't use a decentralized model. Sure it defeats the purpose, but on the plus side it removes some serious inconveniences that the true fediverse comes with, for example i've never been on Bluesky and found myself unable to upvote someone because i've accidentally left my instance.
Bluesky is decentralized

Yeah but who owns the servers currently running it? If it's decentralized but the same entity owns all the servers, then it's not decentralized. Seems obvious
I wish I were this naive
Oh they totally are. Maybe not this directly, but there is an awful depth to the data market. One company may be selling to the next and the next and you end up with companies just buying all the data they can to sell police surveillance software running off of fucking Candy Crush telemetry.
