I was a Cohost Plus member for a while. The format is neat, even if it wasn't for me.
The thing is, I kind of expected this. The maintainers had been talking about being broke and burned out for a long, long time.
Not gonna pass judgment. It was a good idea. It's still a good idea, even if the format isn't my fave. They bit off more than they could chew and/or overestimated people's willingness to pay for it.
That said, I think something like cohost could exist on fedi.
