Consumption of content on social media have grown so big and it is hard to imagine how much content are created daily how people access them. There are more than half of the worlds population on social media nowadays and contents like books and video are being advertised everyday. With the population of people on social media like Facebook, Twitter or Instagram it is hard to know what content who likes. This makes publishers and authors spend so much in advertising their products but to no positive effect on their contents. On the other hand content consumers also have many advertisement to go through on their social media pages even the ones they don’t like. What if there is a platform where content creators and content readers or consumers can meet and each consumer or reader get to choose whose book or video they want to see and each publisher or writer get to know who likes their content?. This will be a great thing for both authors and readers because authors won't waste funds advertising to uninterested consumers and consumers also won't be faced with irrelevant advertisement when they want content to consume.

iShook and Blockchain
Blockchain technology provides countless possibilities for the registration and distribution of intellectual property, including transactions without intermediaries. Blockchain combined with a decentralized delivery of digital content creates a new paradigm shift in the era of digital management culture. iShook will utilize the blockchain technology because with more contents online there are more frauds too. iShook will make use of this technology for content license, Payment and transaction and will also utilize smart contract for iShook token.
The nature of copyright-culture creates a gap in cultural participation.
