Nowdays invaluable content, fake news, click bates, spam, automatically generated rotation information, garbage information and other of that sort threatens to totally overflow the evermore harder to find valuable information. Negative effect of that is really wide, we won't step into detail here but it ranges from hard to find specific information to lots and lots of parasite traffic and slowing down the internet.

What can we do?

We have to chase the bad bits of information and encourage the good bits. To do that we will need to determine the parameters, point out the differences and establish a methodology for distinguishing between the two. Then we need to start chasing and taking down the bad data bits by bits. We will also have to determine a mechanism to encourage creators to produce real content instead of fake and harmful information.

What we've done?

Every product is created when there is a demand, so we've decided to educate the user for zero tolerance. We've decided that the clever method should be to develop a mechanism which will stimulate the actual customer to actively participate in flagging the bad data and encourage the valuable one. Our pilot project is a system which operates on Youtube but can be easily implemented to work with any other platform. The system is a decentralized token based algorithm which allows customers to aid various projects which meet some standards for creative and valuable content. The system has two sides: from one side there is a customer who demands quality content and on the other side are the content creators who have to fulfill that demand.
In the case of Youtube the content creator needs money to fund his projects and create content to fulfill the demand thus accumulating more subscribers and profit on that number. On the other side are the clients who want valuable and entertaining content. Some of them will even pay to see some interesting content and that's where the fundraiser platforms like Patreon come in handy. The problem is that only the biggest fans are willing to pay for the great content while the majority of subscribers will wait for the others to pay and then enjoy the content for free. In our opinion this system is way too primitive and leaves tons of latent users who float with the current and do not actively participate.
Our system creates profit for the users on top of their demand for great content so it drags them to actively enter the scene. When a content creator needs funds to fulfill the demand for valuable content, the user pays for that and receives special tokens in return. These tokens give the user the opportunity to vote on what projects he wished the funds to be spent which increases the users sense of involvement. The tokens also create an opportunity for the owner to make a profit by selling it. And the price of the tokens depend on the demand and the milestone achievements and the fulfillment of the projects funded. The token system also enables third party investors (even venture capital) to enter the market and their demand have the potential to drive the price higher and create further profit much like the stock exchange but with the benefit for the content creator that he won't sacrifice portions of his company which eliminates the threads of loosing his company.

Results

The user develops a strong sense of involvement and is able to not only enjoy the content but also make a profit on his investment. That on the other hand will bring lots more investors who were latent subscribers to this very moment. The content creator will benefit from more resources and will create more valuable content which in turn will lead to more subscribers and that translates to real profit. The global goal will be achieved by involving many people with strong sense and demand for quality content. This will naturally drive bad content towards the bottom of the information radar.
Since the system is decentralized there is not much of a chance for damaging or manipulating the algorithms. Once its live, nobody(not even the creators) can alter it or stop it.
