I just got out of a panel discussion that included the guy from Me.dium, a VC, Scoble, Kevin Rose, and some other guy I don't remember. Interesting discussion, and the general theme was do right by your users, and find the mix of advertising and subscription models to pay the bills.
I asked Scoble and Kevin the same thing I asked the King of Kong guy the other day, regarding the transformation of video delivery and monetization. They both said they're not trying to kill cable or broadcast, but rather serve a specific audience. The moderator was kind of a douche and wouldn't allow the discussion to keep flowing, unfortunately, and God knows Scoble had more to say.
After the session, I got a moment of Kevin's time to congratulate him on his success and tell him that his success is a real inspiration to schmucks like me who have a hard time turning ideas into real and sustainable businesses. He was very gracious about it. For a guy who's basically a rock star, he strikes me as a very down to earth kind of guy.
They will be posted online with a day or so... somewhere on www.visitmix.com or some subsite thereof.
