Lately I have been thinking about an application of blockchain, that could help mitigate spread of fake news. The underlying idea is that top comments (eg: on Youtube) make us critically think before believing anything and everything we see on the web. But the issue is that moderation of comments is in the control of content creators, who have the power to filter out critical comments, which enables them to control the narrative they are trying to create. Decentralizing comments by putting them on blockchain can help solve this problem. Hence mitigating spread of fake news.
