Why is crypto reporting such garbage? It's reports about reports about reports by people that don't know sh*t. Completely derivative, no original thinking, no insights, blind propagation of ignorance. Invariably, original report is debunked, nobody bothers to update. #shitscoop

We need a Yelp for news -- a way of rating pieces and authors. Maybe reviewers are limited to subject matter experts. Does this exist? How shall we publicly shame the #shitscoopers and also give the public some guidance on what's real?

Idk .. problem w/ that is who rates the people rating. It’s similar to who fact checks the ‘fact checking’ websites. Ppl need to read A LOT of different opinions and think for themselves

It’s up to the big influencers in the community (like you & many others) to give their opinions and put out good info .. and up to the the ppl to sort through the bs and form their own opinion #personalresponsibility

Maybe with Steem we can vote with tokens on people’s report or articles? 🤔

All such systems are easily gameable, with conflicting interests; users, vendors, and platform owners have different interests

Make it a web of trust, put it on the blockchain. I'll trust the reviews of who I follow for my aggregate score. Pay to review/pay to follow.

If you think about it, @MessariCrypto is positioning its TCR as skin-in-the-game news. I’m not sure this ever existed before in traditional news outlets. Generally, the best news outlets are driven by morals rather than direct 1:1 mapping of news:money. @twobitidiot, thoughts?
