Interesting approach. But it's commercial, not decentralized, and is backed by Sam Altman and more Big Tech honchos, so my first reaction is skepticism.
Culturally, The Big Breakfast on Channel 4 was the epitome of the 90s in Britain and pre-dated, perhaps even laid the foundations for the media revolution that predicated Cool Britainnia and with it, Blair's political popularity.
It was live, anarchic, bright, irreverent and very Channel 4. It's place in media history is often overlooked, but I suspect it has more influence on the socio-political zeitgeist than it's given credit for...

“In a fair world, in a just world, the mainstream media would be covering these cases with the weight they deserve, with at least some of the intensity they have devoted to Biden’s age, how much milk has cost under his presidency, or how the withdrawal from Afghanistan was executed.”
“But we don’t live in a fair world and while the media needs constant and intense criticism and oversight, the likelihood of them getting better at their jobs is remote — at best.

#RWMedia, & most of MSM #media, have helped poison the brains of voters. The outlets have bashed Pres Biden, eclipsing what they did to HRC, while giving #TFG & Republicans undue credit:
