I agree with both of you. This pay site stuff isn’t going to work for the masses. His is the only site I subscribe to and am only giving it one year for now. I think he got a raw deal from Fox which is why I decided to give him a year subscription. ($55)
I think his goal is to get a full-on legit network with ad revenue and all. I wish OANN would also do that.
On the other hand people are dropping cable and satellite like flies and going with online programming in many different ways that I don’t really want to go into here other than to say Amazon and Netflix have streaming services that are doing pretty well. What I like is either no commercials or few commercials and short ones at that. Maybe he could partner with a streaming service like ROKU that people pay for that includes his podcasts and whatever else he puts out there so it can be watched when the person has time for it and not like Fox News where it comes on at a certain time. A lot is put on YouTube afterward though.
Forget the "streaming" and "pod casts" stuff...it ain't gonna work.
Folks like me are stretched out on the couch or recliner at night, and want to click right on to him from there like we do to the Fox News and/or the Fox Business channels.

I agree, trying to re-launch or draw in new viewers while making them pay a fee is gong to be difficult.
There are so many voices out there trying to find a niche, that it seems like they could all (or many) get together at one site or network.
