Hey, all,
I'm John Biggs, formerly of TechCrunch, and I've been thinking really hard about how to fix media, sponsored posts, and all the good stuff Steemit was supposed to solve. One of the most dangerous recent things I've seen in the space is the rise of the sponsored post that looks like real content. Nobody SHOULD read anything that masquerades as journalism for various reasons.
My partial solution is
hypehop.com. It's a site that lets tech companies post a product video or talk and reward viewers for sitting through the whole thing. It uses facial recognition for sentiment analysis only and doesn't store images.
I'd love for all of you to try it out and tell me what you think.
