There's nothing wrong with having narrowly targeted forums, but I don't think this is going to keep the current users or bring in new users, and it's certainly not going to make a lot of money unless there's something magical happening somewhere.
@orcrist @lvxferre There is narrowly targeted forums, case in point Totalbiscuits dedicated one. Problem lies with first rest in peace a good videogame critic. Second same as paid checkmark on Twitter. Why would you pay for service you can't trust? There is subset of people who don't make research and pay for security, but it's mentality of people who pay for confidence. Those same people who will leave Twitter and go Misskey. They will pay to support Misskey rather than to pay for a checkmark.
