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?

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.

Depending on your social circle for reliable news hasn't really worked. Eg: Facebook and twitter. And most people aren't going to pay for such services anyhow

I think I get reliable news from my tweeps.

It’s called Augur (REP)😀. One reason I came to Twitter (I’m new): Something needs to be done about these websites producing these pieces that are rehashes of previous stories with timelines that are out of context with headlines that are misleading.

Sounds like you caught the @Tribeworthy bug- also known as crowd-contested media.

looks cool but is there a website where I can search for a particular article, author or publication to see the reviews?
