Personally I would prefer a subscription instead of ads. I hate ads. I'd rather pay directly.
If Bluesky has an algorithm, I haven't seen it. I get chronological posts from the accounts I follow with an occasional and subtle suggestion to follow other similar accounts. Many of the accounts I follow are news outlets, journalists, civic leaders, etc. Some of the accounts I followed on Twitter are finally joining Bluesky while less than a fraction of those are on Mastodon.
Bluesky does it even better IMO. Their default feed is a chronological feed of all the people you follow and you can add additional feeds that have their own algorithms (You can even create your own either with simple logic through something like skyfeed.app or code it entirely from scratch). This makes it much easier to choose what you want to see compared to Mastodon.
The feeds are the strongest feature Bluesky has.
Wow, I wouldn't have thought that Apple Mail is more popular than Gmail.
On Bluesky you can choose which algorithm/s you want to see though and even create your own.
Due to a new law in Germany I was able to easily change my name and gender officially on Monday (November 4th). Last Wednesday was also my birthday where I ordered my new ID 🥰. I also measured my height in advance of getting a new ID and due to HRT I shrank 2cm which means I'm now 174cm tall!

Never say never. I thought the same for some time.

Past me had this exact thought.
There are other ways to increase company value that do not necessarily result in Q/Q / Y/Y profit increases.
Can you name some examples? I'm not very familiar with economics.
4k displays are not at all standard and certainly not for a decade. 1440p is. And it hasn't been that long since the market share of 1440p overtook that of 1080p according to the Steam Hardware survey IIRC.
