I’m stewarding a content-driven community myself, with ambitions that closely resemble what you describe in your piece. It’s a slow-paced group that deliberately optimizes for depth, not breadth.
So monetization — including creator compensation, which is surprisingly complex as you say — is our biggest roadblock, because it’s clear to me that none of the options currently on offer will be sustainable long-term.
Heartbreaking to watch “old-school” discussion forums and blogs get crowded out and and go dormant with the rise of algo-driven social media.
Anyway, I’ll be returning to read this one several times. Great work!
