[viewing art]( Inside a decentralized museum without a building Think about a typical museum â you buy a ticket, then look at whatever its curators put on display. Often, thatâs great. But [Arkive](, a startup that recently raised [$9.7m](, is a âdecentralizedâ museum. That might sound like some kind of NFT gallery in Roblox, but, while acquisitions are recorded on blockchain, theyâre real-world objects. Arkiveâs members are its curators⦠⦠voting on both what to acquire and where to display it. Thatâs because Arkive has no physical space. Instead, it has a kind of reverse-Indiana Jones approach where not everything [belongs in a museum](. Why? - Even large museums are limited by space, typically displaying just [5%]( of their collections at any given time.
- Thereâs a push to not just diversify, but to also â[decolonize](â museums. Some items were acquired (or [looted]() through imperialism, far removed from the cultures they represent. âWe would place [an acquisition] where it originated or where the artist created it or where it can be viewed by the most people,â founder Tom McLeod told The Hustle. So far⦠⦠Arkive has made five eclectic acquisitions with plans for 32 by the end of 2023: - The 1954 patent for the [ENIAC]( (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer)
- Lynn Hershman Leesonâs 1985 photograph â[Seduction](â
- Pat Gormanâs 1984 prototype of the MTV Video Music Awards [Moonman](
- Aria Deanâs 2017 video essay, â[Eulogy for a Black Mass](â
- Three [cloth fans]( used in Madonnaâs 1990 âVogueâ performance Theyâre currently on tour, with permanent homes pending. Arkiveâs membership is currently free⦠⦠though paid tiers will eventually come into play. But there will be free ways to participate, including via an upcoming app that will let travelers know where they can see Arkive pieces near them.

[YouTube content library chart]( Olivia Heller Why YouTubeâs best weapon is its library The streaming wars often feel like an arms race. In 2021, Disney+, Netflix, and Amazon [spent]( a combined $55B to enrich their content libraries, which [estimates]( peg at: - 4.5k hours for Disney+
- 40k hours for Netflix
- 50k hours for Amazon But YouTube⦠⦠which is considered an alt-streaming competitor, blows them all out of the water. - Every three hours, YouTube [adds]( as much content as Netflix and Amazonâs entire catalogs combined, or 20x Disney+âs. With truly something for everybody, a recent [poll]( found 95% of teens use the app. Like YouTube, TikTok has also proven a formidable streaming competitor. Watch time on TikTok in 2021 was [22.6T minutes](, compared to Netflixâs 9.6T. The main difference: TikTok didnât spend billions making that content â its users made it, for free.

[purple tomato]( Big news out of the tomato industry Purple vegetables arenât exactly new. Thereâs purple potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, and even tomatoes. Actually, nevermind â tomatoes are a fruit. Anyway, after nearly 20 years of development, the USDA [approved]( UK-based Norfolk Plant Sciencesâ purple tomato for commercial use â significant for its potential health benefits. Whatâs so special about this tomato? The team used genes from the snapdragon flower to [produce]( anthocyanin, an antioxidant-rich pigment also found in blackberries that may lower the risk of cancer. - In a 2008 [study](, cancer-susceptible mice that were fed high-anthocyanin tomatoes lived 30% longer than those that were fed red tomatoes. The team now plans to develop and sell purple cherry tomatoes, tomato juice, sun-dried tomatoes, beefsteak tomatoes, and the seeds themselves. At first, though, expect a juicy price tag. In 2016, the US approved a juicier, sweeter pink pineapple for sale. On [one site](, you can find them for ~$40. [Another]( offers them for ~$12.
