What do you think about turning TYT into a consumer cooperative, to ensure that in the long run TYT never becomes like MSNBC? In a few years or decades at some point the founders will inevitably leave the company, and be replaced by new people, who may not share the original vision. To make sure that those replacements do actually keep on doing progressive politics, we could literally sell TYT to its audience, stock by stock. To make sure it doesn't become just another "corporation", you only allow each person to own up to 10 shares, and then each person gets one vote in electing the board. That is very similar to how German cooperative banks, called "Volksbanken" (people's banks) are run, owned by millions of people democratically in their community. Plus it would give TYT a good cash boost, and the members would also potentially get a dividend, if they vote for it of course.

I really think it's necessary to give the grassroots real power at TYT on an institution level, as well as an ownership level. Plus, it would make collectives more well-known, which I believe probably all of the moderators like. Oh, and it would be great PR and kinda fun.
