I think it depends on the size of the audience. With hundreds or a few thousand of visitors per day some sloppy slapped together website on some crappy host would work just fine. Strip it down to the bare minimum features and get someone to put a price on it. Or not even that...
<unpopular opinion> Building the community is the hardest most important part. If you can find enough people to submit and buy things it becomes worth a visit for the rest of the audience. If they are reasonably competent you can do that with a blog engine or forum software.
When it gets worth building a custom website you might have some issues migrating.
If you have all kinds of special features in mind the 50/50 deal is a good choice.
- changer1 2y agoi totally agree in the audiance part. im in one of the top universities in my country and i believe i could use the community of the uni to get to a thousand users after i deploy. the thing is: i feel like the idea in my mind is not that complex -at least the MVP version - and if i give someone 50 percent its going to make me ripped of. i need someone to draw the frame in my head in order to understand the scale of the thing i wanna build.

- changer1 2y agoi feel like i can make connections to make it grow really fast. and i know that sounds cocky but i think im pretty smart and i contribute a vision here. and probably im really underestimating the skillset to code the platform but i really wanna understand the structure behind and effort and knowledge needed but it still seems like a not huge job. what do you say?
