The giveaway is now closed. Thanks to everyone who signed up!
People are looking for better alternatives to the existing social media platforms. For the terminally online, Bluesky has been in the news a lot of late. The journalists are now showing up in droves. People are finding more engagement on the site than they do on X.
Bluesky is winning because it is giving the people what they want: a default real time following feed with news and politics reminiscent of the glory days of OG Twitter without algorithmic suppression.
This is not rocket science. Threads had a easy touchdown handed to them and fumbled it.

LinkedIn is increasing filled with AI-generated posts. X throttles links to outside sides. Threads is a mess. Facebook is well, Facebook.
The whole being you can now find us on Bluesky. We will continue to post to X (and LinkedIn), but don’t expect much engagement. As for Facebook, we stopped posting site-related stuff and haven’t really noticed any drop off in traffic.
If you haven’t jumped on the Bluesky bandwagon yet, the book giveaway might be a good excuse to. Our last book giveaway was around back-to-school time, this one is just in time for the holidays. See below on how to enter.
- Follow Abnormal Returns on Bluesky.*
- Send us an e-mail at newsletter—at—-abnormalreturns.com with “Bluesky book giveaway” in the subject line. Please include your name, Bluesky handle, and a valid mailing address (USA only!).**
- First-come, first-served. When the books are gone, they’re gone. The book pile is non-fiction, finance-heavy.
- We’ll send you an e-mail when your book is on the way.
What you do next is up to you. Read the book, pass it along to a friend, donate it or start your own little free library. We hope you enjoy your new book, but don’t feel compelled to finish it!
