>[...] the news industry has become a cesspool of anti-consumer and blackhat practices that has eroded trust for the sake of money. You could say something quite similar about capitalism as a whole, in the sense that it looks like those practices are what any industry within that particular economic system ends up devolving into, for the sake of monetary growth and under the pretext of "being competitive" or "cost-effective." I guess it would also apply to economic liberalism in general. Here's my opinion: news outlets are not necessary. Their content is mostly irrelevant, biased, and dependent on a very harmful revenue model--advertisements. Uncensorable, decentralized platforms, on the other hand, could provide communities with a means to inform others, express opinions and denounce any issue at hand, if well-designed.
