I'm a trust agent on Bitrated, a big fan of the project. Centralization makes it easier to get a system like this off the ground, so this is a great start. I'm also the operations lead on another project, OpenBazaar. It's a decentralized network for trade that includes the same type of system as Bitrated. It's not as far along, or well polished, because decentralization is really hard to build. Only time will tell if these types of systems will be more popular centralized, decentralized, or perhaps a federated model in-between.
