You literally just described Reddit.
- che_shirecat 9y agoAnother aggregator. It could even be a clone (think Voat). It's a free market.
- maxlybbert 9y agoCustomers need to prevent that. Aggregators are free to present a Disney or AOL view of the internet, and customers that like that view are happy. Customers that don’t like that view need to make it clear that they would patronize a different company if given the chance.
- vinniejames 9y agoBecause it could be a decentralized system of nodes, subject to consensus for any censorship algorithm changes. This solition could lead to a tragedy of the commons scenario, however, it's still an upbgrade to the "because we said so" model the big four currently enforce.
