Rather than a sharp distinction between trusted users and everyone else, or content and non-content, or even between reading and writing, I believe what we need is the more quantum experience of a knowledge graph. One with an easy semantics for creating and navigating nested relationships. It would let users search for, say, "Statements about [topic] which [set of users] agrees on," or "Arguments against [hypothesis]," or "Examples of, stories about, and implications of [principle]", or "Statements which readers judged useful for [goal]."

I wrote a demonstration program[1] that does this. I hope to attract more developers.
