thinking about making a program that recommends videos that are on peertube. likes, titles, descriptions, and even closed caption can be collected locally and compared to the local users liked videos and watch time to rank videos the local user would like to watch.

later on there could be a server that people can willingly choose to send their data to build a better recommendation program.

I’m still in the research phase of this, but from my experience even implementing basic concepts would be effective

I know there is an anti algorithm crowd but this is opt in so this should be fine

      of cource i forget to log in to this account after posting. but so far Im building it to be more like a browser extension that collects your watch history and video meta data peertube video via api and locally suggests what video to watch next

          of okay. i guess if i get to the point where aggregating data from multiple users then yeah ill look into publishing the data somehow, most of the data will be pulled from peertube instances

    I like the idea, even if it would be ‘just’ a small scale opt-in peertube search engine which would have better ranking algorythm with help of the data points you mention.

    But I guess it would need to be opt-in for channels not for whole instances?
