Decentralized Media Distribution Platform

Market Gap: Consolidated media limits diverse viewpoints and independent voices.

The idea is to create a decentralized media distribution platform that empowers independent creators to publish and distribute content without gatekeeping from large media conglomerates. This platform would utilize blockchain technology to ensure transparency and fairness in content distribution while allowing creators to monetize their work directly from their audience. By providing tools for creators to reach their audiences without corporate interference, this platform would help restore the diversity of viewpoints in media and counteract censorship. It would target independent journalists, podcasters, and content creators who are looking for alternatives to traditional media channels.
