A couple of thoughts that are hopefully constructive:

  • $8/mo is not a small fee, that's a steep barrier to entry. That's a spotify/Netflix level fee. $4 or less will probably generate more excitement.
  • if you will go after the politically censored crowd, their videos will get you kicked off of PayPal, Stripe, etc. and eventually maybe even cloudfront - you should estimate how many people that want alternatives are in this bucket
  • start an email list and placeholder site now so you can build followers and interest and get more feedback

Very ambitious project, good for you.
