I think that with RT's prebuilt massive and heavily invested fanbase it could have worked. Remember they wouldn't have been jumping into this with nothing and building an audience from scratch, they already had a legion of ride or die fans at this point and this was back when they hadn't squandered their goodwill with those fans.Honestly I think a paywall is realistically the only way to make a profit on long form commentary videos. I don't think there is enough interest in public domain movies to bring in the viewership. People want movies they are familiar with which can't be shown. Which comes the next issue where your average viewers just wants to click on a video and watch it. If they have to find a copy of the film to sync up with the commentary, most aren't going to bother so inevitably those videos will get very low views.
