EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Pivot, featuring Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway, Bluesky Challenges Threads and X for Social Media Dominance | Pivot explores bluesky’s Rapid Rise Pressures Threads and X in Social Shake-Up Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway discuss Bluesky’s explosive user growth and how it is reshaping the competitive landscape with Threads and X (formerly Twitter). They highlight that Bluesky has surged from 13 to 23 million users in two weeks, now rivaling or surpassing Threads in daily active usage, while Meta scrambles to copy its features. The conversation explores why users find Bluesky appealing—its fun, newsy vibe reminiscent of old Twitter without the toxicity—and how its decentralized protocol and woman-led leadership differentiate it. They also examine Bluesky’s funding, likely valuation trajectory, and the broader shift of ad dollars within social and media platforms.
