Somewhat feasible. You really need distributed fact checking to scale up especially since you don’t have source ips. If you can do that you might have something if you can keep participation up.

Do source ips still help at all? These days it seems to be rather easy to visit a website from numerous different source ips.

I wish they still helped more, but they do still help.
