Thinking about user reviews of things. The world has basically settled on a few databases / API’s for everything.
Books, openlibrary. Movies, TMDB. Etc. There’s common IDs for most of these obje...
Except that is worthless... Next time you notice something and you need to see reviews for it, ask yourself if ANYONE in your social graph ever encountered that shit and possibly gave it a review... I won't even talk about the privacy aspect of it and will assume there is a magical ZK solution.
Sure all people leaving reviews might be 3-4 degrees from you, but that is worthless, because you are still going to do a breadth first search, and still end up querying millions of other people's public data repositories.
At some point people need to understand these are problems that can't be solved without centralization, the scalability limits are baked in.
