I just got an idea that might add some value to our community (thinking along the lines of adding features until we are worth more than $1 a coin) and pulling our own weight.

I was trying to read the news, and I had 2 problems. The first problem was, the headline shows "Kim Jong Un launches another missile over Japan", but after 3 attempts to click on the article I was unable to actually read it because each site wants you to join to read the article (for $5 a month). So I had to google the article to read it.

Problem #2, news article #2 was "US tank brigade rolls into Poland". Click on this link, and you receive questionable nudity in the right column (since its from The Sun, which btw I emailed them about) and it is VERY disturbing enough to make a Christian want to avoid the site permanently. Also on a side note the new HTML5 ads are not blockable with adblocker.

Anyway, I was thinking what if we had Blockchain News? We could create an RPC command that stores a news article, have volunteers type them from a web page, Preview them, include pics, and the web site would transmit the HTML of the article into the block chain with external tags referenced. Then later if people view the news from in the wallet, they could up-down vote it. Upvoted articles could reimburse some BBP back to the key who authored it (like steemit). Downvoted makes the news sort to the bottom so people dont waste their time reading badly designed news.

Valuable?

I was literally floating a very similar concept around with my other developer friends earlier this week. I feel like there is a lot of value (and difficult problems) in the concept of trying to tie value to the information itself rather than to valuing the gatekeeper to the information. There would be a lot to learn in this about how information is actually valued. One major problem would be dealing with prevailing group bias in pivoting what people want to hear vs what the reality is but it still to me sounds like something worth trying. i really like the idea.
