>Yep. Probably the best way to do this is to found a company that hosts servers that host a lot of the content. Anybody could do this, of course, and the company's servers are not privileged in any way. However, by being the first and best service provider on a new decentralized platform, they would profit (I call this business plan the "Satoshi model"). Note how in the article I explain that the users actually pay to download content - a possibility that was not available when reddit was founded.

So if there is a "first-and-best" service provider, how exactly does this change from what Reddit is doing today? I can't really wrap my head around how you have defined the problem, nor how this solves it. You still have Reddit at the center - and to most users thats all they will ever see.

This solution doesn't seem very different from writing an application that downloads all content from reddit and posts it to voat. If reddit decides to be a bad actor, it won't really matter because they still own most of the pie.
