Maybe I misunderstand, but I could either pay $9/month and would be able to access it directly, or I wait until you get 5 more sponsors (for that specific page) and then I'll be able to access the content for free, like everyone else?

So if I end up sponsoring the page to view it, I could end up being the fifth sponsor, unlocking the page for everyone and ultimately spent the money for content that now everyone can view too?

that's right

yeah, whats wrong with that?

Probably would get much better results if it said "$50 bounty for this demo" or whatever, and collected pledges of any amount, instead of hoping for exactly 5 whales to show up.

And making a subscription makes the value prop even more confusing.

Seems like an own-goal.
