the financial post has a few concerning things in it. the figures for expenses are largely meaningless * "expenses" isn't reported as a monthly figure and can't be compared to anything * cohost plus is double-counted, both as part of net income (the lump payment from a new subscriber) and as monthly recurring revenue, even for yearly subs assuming their actual monthly expenses are about $45k per month, their recurring revenue is still about 30% of what it needs to be, and even this month's revenue ($31k) is still short of that too, eveven with the up-front subscriptions. their plan seems to be to hold out until they can get another loan from daddy warbucks: quote:Looking forward one thing that strikes me as very odd are the dates they chose for their report: 6/15 could conceivably be after a mid-month paycheck while 7/11 would be before it, so if you assume cohost pays twice-monthly their figures show can most of a month while conveniently missing half of their major expenses. and given that their "expenses" are $26k versus the expected $45k, that might be what's happening. subscriptions (2,531) x price ($5) ~= $14,000, which lines up with the "monthly recurring revenue". it isn't made clear how many of them are actually monthly subscriptions, and how many of them were $50-up-front, $4-a-month yearly subscriptions.

honestly, if things are trending in the right direction for them and they can get another round of funding, good for them

you can upload audio files to cohost now. supports MP3, AAC, WAV, and FLAC. max file size is 5MB but if you have cohost plus it's 10MB. neat, imo

i think they're deferring to the client for that. i guess they could do it but maybe it'd be difficult with multiple embeds per-post allowed. either way it's never autoplay, can't even make it do it as an option. here's an awful example of it in action: https://cohost.org/garbo/post/2293898-empty

i mean every browser has built-in volume controls if you use the native embed format, it's just that cohost doesn't because they want it to be fancy over functional

oh yeah that's a good point, they coulda just done HTML5 media embeds. dunno why they did it the way they did. still it's not like any other site does it with media embeds. but idk land of contrasts

someone made a point-n-click doom adventure through e1m1 that said the financial post promised two weeks ago has yet to manifest as well, sounds like it's more than just sessions having bookkeeping issues

that said i logged onto cohost for the first time in a bit last week, and had an excellent time reading my feed. hasn't changed, it is a weird past vision of the internet, but there's good people on there.
