I don't understand why we don't have a "Discuss Anything" universal app, operable on literally every tokenizable piece of human content, searchable by similarity in embedding space, and discoverable using titles, concepts, or vague impressions. Let people create threads and discuss everything, forever, with versioned references to the original content (like a website), as long as it's legal.

A browser extension called Dissenter briefly allowed this, got too popular too fast, had a data leak, and then they rolled it into a spyware browser. It also only had popularity among one extreme of politics.

I once built a prototype to a "Goodreads but for classical music", e. g. playing Chopin on a piano. I have thought about doing something like what you are talking about. My concerns are:

1. Moderation: you need to moderate content that people create and moderation is hard. If you don't, the service will be abused.

2. Order: Goodreads has "Librarians" to create some order in the chaos. I think that a meaningful search through "every tokenizable piece of human content" is very non-trivial and would require much work.

3. Monetization: ads are possible. Are they sustainable? I don't know enough of profitability to say something about that. The more specific the type of content is, the more options you have for monetization. For classical music scores my ideas were to make deals with sheet selling companies and make ads for (classical) concerts.

4. Market share: isn't Reddit pretty much a superset of this, minus a built-in rating system?
