I didn't even see his response until now. Ouchie. Yes, it's less than gracious. On one hand, as a business owner, it is hard to run a business without revenue. So I get that. But I also know that not everyone is a target client. However, there are ways to work with someone when they express an interest but have limited resources.

I’ve noticed the same issue for low-income news channel followers for many years. It used to be just “I’d love to support the channel creator’s good work, but I can't afford to”…now the creators have additional platforms where they publish their work and charge another fee for it. The Meiselas brothers are no strangers to the 70% of Americans facing financial struggles, so out of their 3.5M followers perhaps an estimated 2.45M are struggling. In essence, there’s a substantial number of their audience who would benefit from a discount…or how about an affordable bundle price to access all of their content?

So how does MTN expect its news agency (a super PAC nonprofit corporation) to grow without the 2.45M low-income followers chipping in? (they claim to not rely on “investors”). IMO, between the multitude of paying commercial sponsors and wealthy donors - the Meiselas brothers are doing quite well without worrying about the poor folk.
