Alternatively, a podcast where a fraction of its N listeners could do one thing each to contribute to how the thing is consumed for others scales even better (given a high enough threshold value for N).
We've seen how beneficial rules of thumb like Wadsworth's constant can be, or how valuable it is to come across a comment that gives a timestamped table of contents/index for YouTube videos when the creator hasn't provided one themselves. A successful business built on taking that kind of intent and applying the wiki approach to it is probably inevitable.
