With reddit going public soon, you might want to slowly ditch reddit by using privacy frontends and third party applications or an entirely new alternative
Given that traditional news outlets are dying, is this a possible way to revive it?
People write about news all the time, on blogs and reddit/facebook, for free. They write informed short posts about local events/stuff, for very few readers. If many of them gathered together on one platform, like a reddit or medium -style platform but exclusively for news-type articles, would that be a viable project?
Anyone could write and contribute, but some will consistently get reputation/upvotes and float to the top. It could be a donation-based business model, so the higher reputation writers get some cash.
