I mean it might be a good idea for a new site, but there's no way to attract users when there's no users to begin with. So that means we'd have to put in bot traffic and bot posts to create the appearance of lots of users (which I don't want to do).

If I just opened up a new site with a $5 entry fee, then I think literally maybe 10 people would sign up. And in a week it would be dead.

It's just not a workable model imo. Especially when this is an anonymous forum, people don't want to give payment info. So then I'd have to take only crypto. And that again limits the pool of people who would be able to join.

I like the idea, it's kind of unworkable in reality imo
