"I believe you are talking about content rating, but this problem is an even more to the ground problem. Kinda a fundamental one.
I think the problem is in the infrastructure itself. The most basic low-level stuff of how peers can know where to connect to beforehand to get certain data.
in this case: how does Alice even find bob and his content every day, in a decentralized unstructured (or minimal) manner?"
above is the quoted question that needs to be solved. Try to break up the problem in different parts. Satoshi Nakamoto solved it. Can you too?

Which exchange?
The more people participate in this question, the better.
So can you think of seperate problems that need to be solved in order for this to be (partially) solved?
Soo we need to split up the problem
That is the problem: how do you know where to find information about something from inside a peer to peer network?
Bitcoin is the only network that I know of that solved this problem.
No, how do you know who has content that you want kinda thing
The Grapevine may be what you’re looking for. The Grapevine enables you and your community to identify who is the most trustworthy, and in what context, so they can help you curate content, facts and information.
It revolves around the idea of a data model, which could be as simple as a list of nostr apps or a graph of a nostr app categories, but can be as complex as it needs to be.
Here is the walkthrough of a proof of concept for the decentralized curation of a simple list:

Note that there is no single point of failure, bc you are always at the center of your Grapevine.
Nice one, although that was not exactly what I meant. Because my question is about how you would localize your peers and grapevines.
So only peers that you connect to provide you with information about peers. And that information is relative to them as there is no other reference point than the global known information that is for every peer accessible: their local surroundings.
Transparancy. Lookup this to get some information about it.

A single communication method in the sense of that there is no information flowing outside of this method. The medium could be radio, digital infrastructure etc, but all the information is coming from other peers.
And there is no single defined lookup data point.
'How to locate knowledge of data trough other peers using only one communication method?'
Think about it and transform it into an analogy that fits better into your way of thinking.
What is your analogy? And can you come up with a (partial) solution?
