Does anyone even know what his plans are? All he keeps saying is a place that will help new creators. A place where creators can come to and create and work. To me that sounds pretty bland at best. What's his real plans?
I think it's pretty clear from the Beme saga, and then the CNN stage of Beme, that Casey himself is not very good at this side of things. If it works out it'll be because some other smart people are running it with their own ideas. The fact that Jack Conte (the Patreon guy) reached out, and they seem to be potentially collaborating on this, is encouraging.
