      Yes, paid

      Guess who wouldn't be in the target demographic?

      Moderation is costly if your dedicated to only putting out accurate and truthful content. And people will pay for that accuracy when the media landscape becomes saturated with AI deep fakes.

      It's either paid by the users or by the advertisers, or do you have a better plan on how to fund running such platform?

        Nope, I don't, otherwise I'd do it because it would be a massive change to whats out there.

        I was a bit too short on my comment I admit. I am laughing about the suggestion because making a completely new community with paid access from the start will doom it immediately. It needs to have a certain pull to get users to actually pay something and so far I'd say thats either failed or platforms have not quite taken off.

        Same as converting a free community to a paid access model, for that you just need to look at what happens to Twitter. Its a slow bleed but it certainly damaged the platform. Instagram is next it seems with the ad-free tiering that will no doubt lead to obnoxious ads. We will see if they achieved the necessary pull to keep people there or not.
