idk about all of HN, but imo blockchain tech in general could potentially solve some problems related to distribution, but rarely do i see projects that justify needing a blockchain. NFTs are mostly a scam.

Distributing content. I hate the idea, but I can see blockchains being used with apps like Spotify to force someone to buy music before listening to it. Would also sidestep some of the practical issues of DRM. Heard snoop doggs label is going all in on smth like this.
