Maybe journalism? At least not the entertainment news media outlets. It might be beneficial to hard-hitting news, but I'm not sure if it will be a good thing for the newspaper and the people.

I think it would especially be great for the media and the people. Decentralized news websites would eliminate fake news. It would be resistant to censorship and verifiable, while ensuring accuracy and transparency by using incentives.

How? That's just another prime example of a technical approach to a problem that needs to be faced on a social level.

Yes, a decentralized website is harder to take down than a centralized one. But it neither enables verification nor accuracy of the content being distributed. Bad journalism stays bad journalism regardless of the medium. People will gobble up the bullshit that demagogues are feeding them regardless of whether the content is published on a centralized server or using a decentralized filesystem.
