I wonder how monopolized publishing is these days. If you want to get the message out about something, how much are you at the mercy of a few distribution channels and how much do we have an open ecosystem that gives everybody equal rights? I am honestly not sure.

How important is it to be on Facebook? On Twitter? On Reddit? On HN? Indexed by Google? Have connections to the Huffington Post?

If you have something interesting to say, can those forces stop you? Or will it spread because it is interesting?

If you make great art, will it become popular just because it is great? Or does it depend on your marketing skills?

Could we have technology that makes interesting, helpful content spread no matter what?

Do we have to invent some kind of "internet voting" system to accomplish this? Can blockchain technology help with this?
