It should have:
1) Smooth User Interface
2) Ability to make user accounts
3) each user's ability to make separate channel for their articles to post. For example, https://userchannel.yoursite.com
4) Just like blogger, each user's channel should have ability to monetize using Adsense.
5) Home page for showcasing best articles on your site day wise or week wise in trending category
6) Homepage should have some categories for showcasing articles like trending, new, archival, hot, editor's choice etc.
7) your site should also have some voting system that could allow people to assign those people who are willing to be official editor based on their quality of posts.
moderators for eleminating inappropriate contents to make sure your website remains clean.
9) When your userbase reach above 5M then you can add advertise within your website feature.
10) website should make its first impression as user-friendly! So that even a newbie could find it interesting and easier to understand!
11) And lastly a good reputation among people both user's and non-users.
And very important that it should be legally registered! People will find easier to trust your website!
And technically
Make sure it has ddos protection, HTTPS SSL encryption, and powerful server for accepting larger amount of client (user access) requests and maximum uptime.
I hope this helps
