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.

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?

Nope. But the next iteration of Tribeworthy will have search and rating pages for authors and outlets. You can take a sneak peek at tribeworthy.net on desktop(not mobile optimized yet) or wait and I’ll reach out again when it’s live.

Been checking out the app. Lots of potential, looking forward to the next iteration. Would also be great to build a custom list of trusted reviewers so that bots and bad reviewers don't taint the scores I see.

Yeah the next iteration will have a leaderboard featuring the highest rated authors, outlets, and reviewers. And as you may have noticed we feature their User Rating next to every review. Great feedback tho, thanks!

Great! I'm worried about the Sybil attack at both levels: article ratings, and reviewer ratings. Maybe connect to BitRated or other WoT.. need a way to filter out fake/compromised/paid users/reviews.

Appreciate you taking the time to try out the app. We’re still very early stage but glad you see the potential. I’m a big fan of the work you’re doing at Kraken so let me know if you ever want to chat more.
