It'd likely need an additional moderation layer for various reasons that we all may not like, so I'm not 100% sure how that would work. However, I know a lot of other smart people on here that can probably figure it out. :)

On the other hand, their moderators would need enough Steem Power to effectively curate. It may seem like a costly upfront investment, however their costs could be recouped if they opened up their articles to be upvoted as well, drastically marginalizing their risk, while potentially earning them much more money for their content than how they were earning before, simultaneously adding value to the Steem they have vested.

Perhaps it eliminates the viability of ad-based models. Perhaps our reputations go with us to every site we go to. Steem has potential massive implications for both our Internet lives and our real lives unlike any other project I've seen before.

@picokernel showed us how there can be other apps for Steem with Squeek. It's not hard to imagine the bigger picture of what Steem can be after actually seeing another app work in tandem with Steemit.
