"The 19th reports at the intersection of gender, politics, and policy - a much-needed inclusive newsroom..." This isn't a problem with the distribution technology. This is a problem with the message, and its narrow niche.

The site's marketing is geared towards collecting donations in the US$20,000 and up range. That doesn't scale. They don't have viewer counts big enough to make it on payments in the $10/year range. So that doesn't scale either.

The back-end technology of this thing has zero bearing on those problems.
