The trick is funding. That's the hard thing that we're all facing down as we try to create new ways of producing and distributing media.

I have built a streaming network that I can run for less than $100 a month in infrastructure costs that can support thousands or tens of thousands of concurrent viewers, but how do you get enough money to fund the creation of media when you can only reach a few tens of thousands of people?

That question is why I believe that funding is tricky, but I think I have an answer, and I'd like to explore it.
