This was quite an interesting article so I saved an archive and hope that everyone can read it. Also, you have to put aside the HBR bias in favour of capitalist competitive markets. The article describes the creation of a 'football' league where all the decisions are made by fans. The league is presented as a success in the article, though most likely the only way most heard of it was through the article. And of course the whole concept is presented as a buy-in using NFTs and web3. Put all of that aside, transfer your perspective to educational organizations where all the decisions are made by the learners. The same sort of technology can enable this (minus the fintech scams) and some sort of success can be had. How far away are we from something like this? Five years from now, we may recognize that they had already started in some fashion (think of things like Matrix channels, the fediverse, Discord groups). Or, maybe longer, and we might need some decent AI to facilitate them. But they feel pretty inevitable to me - more inevitable, in fact, than fan-owned football leagues. (p.s. no I don't subscribe to HBR - I can read their full articles in my RSS feed).
