hmm, interesting idea. Take the steemit platform functionality and re-brand it as a 'fake news killer'...other issues include dealing with gaming the system, especially if you have ads that are creating a dividend for coinholders...I doubt adsense would be down for these kinds of 'incentivized' clicks.

I'm pretty against including ads on the platform - definitely want to avoid it if possible.  But it comes down to if users will be willing to pay small amounts (like a few satoshis) to authors that provide good content.  If that's possible then the platform could continuously attract the best authors and it could be sustainable in theory.  What do you think about that?

Does anyone know of any Decentralised News Platforms that are currently live or at the least under development?  I feel like having a platform free from censorship where content providers are rewarded in a cryptocurrency/token for publishing valuable content for readers 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. 

Seems like a pretty simple concept, but I was surprised I couldn't find any active initiatives when searching.  Any thoughts or know of a platform similar to this?
