I was puzzled by the “declining support” claim, so I went over to the ven. site to see whether it was explained there. It wasn’t, as far as I could tell.
It would be nice if someone would interrogate scary claims like that.
I know that Paul is still trying to get this site stabilized, but, speaking for myself, the non-interactive broadcast format has too much “pearls before swine” flavor to be engaging for very long. Engagement is the sine-qua-non of politics, so politically-oriented sites that don’t foster engagement have a really hard row to hoe.
Actually, viewership and donations are growing. That said, what form of engagement would you suggest?
