interesting idea but I find so many problems with it.
I feel like having a platform free from censorship
when there is no one to control the content there will be lots of other things too, things like FUD things like hyping an altcoin that they are bag holding. and lots of other spams and troubles.
and who is to decide what post is good and which one is not?
if you talk about some coin, those who are against it or want to see it drop in order to buy more will start saying it is FUD and talk against it. who will control things then?
where content providers are rewarded in a cryptocurrency/token for publishing valuable content for readers
this will be abused a lot. and it has already happened in the similar platforms.
such as steem that people are suggesting here. there are even people who buy upvotes (fake positive)
would be a perfect use case for Blockchain. It could also be ad-free or if ads were included the revenue could be distributed among the token holders.
again abuse.
users will create many alt accounts, upvote their own posts and increase their share of the revenue.
actually there was a forum like this where users could share in the revenue. the owner of the site had multiple accounts each of them with thousands of posts!!! which meant any other user could not even get the smallest share
Makes sense, but what if the model was different? Token holders have to approve authors before they can publish content (consensus approach). This would greatly reduce spam and abuse. Steemit already does a great job for a Reddit type Blockchain platform where anyone can post, but I think there may be space for a curated news DApp if done correctly.
