If you follow live sports then Twitter is still unparalleled because people (and broadcasters too) upload highlights in near real time. Every event, goal, home run, crash etc.

Job opening to build sports relationships.
There's an absolute ton of niches which are completely anchored to Twitter. It's hard to get a whole raft of people to move at once :(
True, but the BlueSky audience is not really into following professional sports. I believe there was statistics (or just rumor) showing that conservative-leaning people are about 50% more likely to follow professional sports than liberal-leaning people. Sadly, I cannot find the source, but it might be so obvious that nobody bothered to run a proper poll. Or this is just what everybody believes so everybody goes with it.
For high-level football/calcio/soccer at least, Reddit is and has been better for a long time. Often goal and other key highlights are uploaded before the broadcasters.
This is massively true and was the last thing that I had to overcome when dropping Twitter. Certain sports have better engagement than others but it is pretty staggering the difference. If BlueSky could figure that out then they would have a legitimate shot at substantial success
>If BlueSky could figure that out
It's a "people problem" not a technical one. For example if you are following anything from Asia, or just generally from Japan and Korea you will most likely see it on Twitter, there was never a big exodus of users there. Bsky has almost 0 engagement. Just watching WBC this week and I wanted to see korean highlights of their games. They are all over on Twitter, nothing on Bsky.
Are there tools that let users post to both simultaneously? (e.g. similar to how streamers can simultaneously stream to Twitch/YT/X easily)
A lot of bluesky users don't really go outside ;^)

Elon Mush has introduced political biais in the algo, not all opinions are worth the same when you have a white suprematicst at the reign.

Why does the very existence of bluesky make so many people angry? You're free to stay at the Nazi bar if that's where you're comfortable.
Musk is openly and heavy handedly messing with the recommendation algorithm to fit whatever views he wants to push. On top of that, he started paying people for their viral tweets, which promotes content farms and rage bait.
It is not a place that is trying to showcase diverse opinions in an unbiased way.
Why would I use a social network run by someone with opinions straight from the pages of Stormfront? I don't need white supremacy mixed in with my light recreational reading, thanks.

If you truly believe "those days" are over, you're in for a depressing few decades as the world moves on without you. Most reasonable people — even white people like myself — are disgusted by the sort of rhetoric that Musk retweets and endorses on a daily basis[1]. It is, without any exaggeration, literal Stormfront shit as I remember from a decade ago. We will fight this putrid garbage and we will win.
