been thinking about this too. some sort of prediction market mechanism couldd be a possible solution, but the challenge is that these ranking/recommendation markets are subjective, there is no right or wrong deterministic event. plus there are some practical/bootstrap challenges first challenge is to get enough people to care about a topic, next is to have a community around it (subreddit/channels), then solve for some moderation/council system that holds the spirit of law together.

people like me who try products and recommend things would never be down to tokenize my recs. great products sell themselves. i think finding a way to surface what apps I use or products I use is a better way but not sure how outside making them vote on it.
