Rationale
Fourthwall offers a membership platform that allows creators to earn recurring revenue, similar to Medium's monetization model. It provides tools for content hosting (video/audio), engagement (polls, comments, DMs), and analytics for members. While it doesn't explicitly mention a 'rich text editor' for long-form articles in the same way Medium does, it focuses on hosting various content types. The platform also emphasizes community building and offers features like user profiles, tags, and email communication, aligning with several 'other' features. The core 'must-have' of membership monetization is clearly present.
