The barrier of publishing a paper in arxiv is much lower than in academic journals. That said, you still have to convince them that your idea is relevant. They may require some sort of credentials, but if the idea is solid and the paper is well-written you have good chances of being accepted anyway.

But of course, like on a regular website, being published there won't mean it'll also be read. That would be the main challenge.
