Crowd Facts Rewards You For Researching Information Online
Crowd Facts is a collaborative project powered by the Hive blockchain that empowers and rewards YOU to participate in the checking, researching and sharing of claims/information that are published to the internet.
The Crowd Facts approach to ‘fact checking’ is more open and free than the constrained, corporate dominated approaches pushed by ‘Web 2.0’ websites, social networks and media outlets. Instead of paying specifically vetted ‘experts’ in certain fields (who are often just reporters and not actually experts at all) to push a certain narrative as if it is a fact – we empower YOU to share your knowledge and research on key topics.
Crowd Facts provides an alternative to the controlled narratives that Big Tech corporations have been pushing for decades. If you see a 'fact check' or claim made publicly that you think is wrong/biased then you can add it to Crowd Facts and incentivize our members to provide alternative views of the situation.
Are You New To Hive & Web 3.0?
Hive is a social networking system that has a cryptocurrency built in. Hive’s 'Proof of Brain' mechanism seamlessly manages distribution of financial rewards to anyone who writes a post or comment and who then receives upvotes from other Hive users who are holders of Hive Tokens. The more 'Hive Power' a user has, the more they can upvote posts/comments and the more they are able to direct reward payouts as a result.
How It Works
Anyone with a Hive account can highlight or comment on claims made by others on the internet. The comments will then be assessed by the project's curators (plus the Hive community, in general, if they choose to be involved). The curators will then upvote each comment according to the level of detail, substance, value and relevance of the post/comment's content. Financial rewards are calculated by Hive's 'Proof of Brain' algorithm and paid out accordingly.
Note: Receiving the most upvotes is NOT proof of the accuracy of a piece of information, but it is a signal of the sentiment in the community.
