I tried to pick the simplist algorithm just to get working concept and because I believed something basic could work well, but I definitely left room for more algorithm.
There’s multiple parts but I tried to get the data collection down, tracking watch time, likes/dislikes, and even if the it’s a video or Livestream. There is a glitch with tracking how long a live stream has been watched, but Livestreams aren’t relevant yet so I haven’t bothered to fix it.
This add on is meant to be open source so it can grow and evolve so it can be implemented into other fediverse projects and so people can improve on it and make it their own. I can put other algorithms in, just seeing how the reception goes.
I do believe we should collect our own data and run our own algorithms
