Startup Idea : Humans of New York crowdsourced

I have an idea for a project and I want to get feedbacks before I start working on it. So basically, I want to create a website/blog that will feature Humans of New York style interviews/and stories from around the world where Anybody can contribute or share a story. So the assumptions are: 1) There are people who likes to read interviews/stories about normal people. Humans of New York is successful, lets just crowdsource it to scale it to global scale. 2) Writers/contributor will benefit from talking to strangers. (http://lifehacker.com/the-hidden-benefits-of-talking-to-strangers-1624143630) 3) This is not a for-profit project so there is no business model and therefore will have difficulties financially. But it might be able to work with donations, crowdsourcing, and ads (last resort). Comments, suggestions, criticisms are welcome. Any feedback is appreciated.
