Picture this: People paying to stream footage of battles as they’re fought, in real time, with surge pricing based on the level of peril. They could follow their favorite soldier. Vote on strategy. Bet on the outcome of individual actions or wholescale engagements. We could sell virtual embeds for regular civilians, not just legacy media journalists. We could call it democratizing war reporting. And we’d make it easy to screen-grab and post on social, so the whole thing would advertise itself.”
