I would love to read more about these characters and the AI that just spawned. Great story!

>some sort of facebook integrated news reader.
The main feed already acts like this, only the news stories are those false sensationalist articles being shared by people that believe them.

Perpetual PR nightmare averted.

I think the dynamics you touched upon are specific to coderwall, their revenue model, their leadership, and their choice of stack(not that any of it is bad, it has just created the situation you described), and you can't judge every startup/product/team on assembly through the same lens. Only a few of the products on assembly are profitable at this time, the majority of things are in idea stage, and I think those projects are the ones where one can get the most value for their work. Of course there is the risk that the product is never completed or turns a profit, but that's all startups.
I'm all in on assembly, my current startups on there are: http://assembly.com/startl http://assembly.com/bootswap http://assembly.com/chatbotify-me http://assembly.com/authorsimple http://assembly.com/brytn
products I did not start but am active on: http://assembly.com/cliq http://assembly.com/dawn http://assembly.com/okvaper
Startup ideas laying around I plan to put up there once I've got the ball rolling on my current ones: http://transtartup.blogspot.com
Assembly will prove valuable if people create value for the ideas put there on the risk that it will pay off, and the smaller the team when the dev gets in, the bigger of an impact and stake they can have/be rewarded.

I've got a few products on Assembly and have some thoughts to share. I think Assembly has a shot at a product that makes revenue by helping startups/products/teams navigate the pain points you described. You specified their business model. It is incredibly difficult, but that's why it's worth paying for. CPA and regulatory compliance as a service. I think it should function to VC's as project greenlight does to steam, a platform to get started and build traction on before getting called up to the big leagues. It needs a lot of work, a top to bottom rethinking to account for the legal quagmire you touched on, but if it can do that, and function as software for vestment, and allow these app coins to be purchased by the public, they become an instant idea to ipo company.

It will be a domain specific language where writing "livelistr = craigslist + socialcam" results in a new product called livelistr consisting of all permutation of the api's of craigslist and socialcam being depolyed to the web.
I came up with it by brainstorming start up ideas that consisted of compositions of other existing products, and recognizing that mvp's for these ideas could be hacked together by wiring up the api's of the constituents in some way.
It will make money by charging a fee to deploy the resulting products to the web.
It's awesome because it allows anyone with a startup idea to be an entrepreneur without needing to learn to code.
No similar products exist.
I will write the software that figures out what products the users are trying to compose, maps their api's, permutates them, and generates a product ready to be tested.
