Interesting but I'd suggest something a little simpler. Pricing means hassle but it is a means to stop big content droppers, not just AI or big companies. Rather than per article perhaps just limit how many posts an individual can post a day - thus it urges people to make those posts count.
Pay fee per year or more, a small one, that allows posting a small number of posts a day, and reporting only one or two times a day - otherwise people and bots will abuse it.
Asking the public to validate what goes is one of the problems of the internet at the moment. Instead it's better to have people who naturally fact check stuff to provide links to other proper sources online they are aware of, or at least some idea why whatever might be wrong. That's the other problem the net has at the moment, people truly don't engage apart from yappers who really don't care how fluffy their content is.
The general idea is appealing. But I wonder whether it could be accomplished a lot simpler. For example, why not register and administer a TLD, .indie ? Then the policy for registering domains under that TLD would have the principles that you have mentioned. Any domain failing to abide by the policies would be terminated. I think such a scheme could attract a variety of domains and would require far lot less work on your part. Of course, you could always create and administer some specific interest sites under that encompassing TLD.
