NNTP (USENET) is fast, scalable and very practical.

I wish it was popular instead of random set of forums, mailing lists and reddits.

It is also overrun by people who use it to share large binary files of copyrighted material, and spammers, and so on and so forth.

One way to mitigate spam on Usenet is moderated newsgroups.

Another way might be something similar to ad-blockers for web browsers.
