The problem PowWow : Bringing democracy to media solves

Instead of being fed narratives by traditional media sources, PowWow lets the audience control the narrative through the livestream. The audience as a collective group gets to decide the topics to be discussed and ask questions that really matter to them.

How it works :
An audience member would join the livestream where they would have the option to enter a question or discussion topic in the chat box.
The question could then be upvoted or downvoted by other members of the audience to determine what matters the most.
As questions or topics get upvoted, the influencer leading the livestream would know which topics to talk about or questions to answer.

This would also allow the influencer to further improve engagement with the audience and create a win-win scenario for the audience and influencer.

Challenges we ran into

As blockchain technology enthusiasts this was the first project that the team worked on together. The biggest challenge was recognizing a problem in todays world and providing a meaningful solution using blockchain technology. We chose the Ethereum blockchain and decided to use Livepeer as a solution to the ongoing problem in todays mainstream media. Every step of the project presented itself as a different type of challenge, some more complex than the others. One of the major challenges was researching the competition within the market and find areas to improve on the shortcomings. Learning about smart contracts and how they can be implemented was also a challenge but a rewarding experience nonetheless.
