The role of DAOs in decentralized media
summary
Claims that DAOs cannot by themselves save media, citing no sustainable ad or data model for decentralized outlets and persistent problems: nepotism, security, governance and regulation. Gives concrete stacks: decentralized content platforms (Paragraph / Word / Access Protocol), Lens Protocol for social layers, NFTs and tokens as reader-paid access and revenue. Notes an experiment called commit fails on commitment and loyalty and argues mixing legacy brands’ reach with web3 payments and token rewards is the realistic path.
