20 people could come here and bring 20000 paying supporters in no time, and that's only, the smallest effort.

All it takes is one big bang and the community becomes an expanding universe.

So I don't understand why we do things this way instead of that way.

I think streaming services have the best chance of pulling it off, since having paying types in the audience is the norm. Then all that money and attention would spill over onto everything else.

Selling stake as the opportunity to be a curator or "influence" is not what people want. Everywhere else, proves that. Same with eight years worth of history here.

And I know that famous quote about what doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result means. Yet I'm pretty sure here, I sound like the crazy one.
