We shouldn’t fear these algorithms, the key though is everything has to be under the control of the user. A simple way is just tags, which are widely used almost everywhere. If the user has their panel and can block tags or words or give a rating from +10 to -10 for any keyword or tag, you can accomplish a hell of a lot with no black box fuckery.

I like that idea for a stupid simple algorithm. ironically I plan for there to be like a Varity of algorithms both that are user only and a aggregate. really im trying to pin down a standardized video vector that can describe any video to any level of detail

Another thing I think is fine is “because you watched ____” and suggestions based on that. Like we see a video that the user watched the whole video or liked it, and then we find similar videos to that I don’t think its that invasive and may be helpful.
As long as its transparent and the user has control to use it or not I think thats the key. The fediverse however is enormously privacy and corporate sensitive, so I can see that it is a tight line to walk here.

really im thinking about what data is okay to share and what data should be kept to the user. basically I determined that description of the video is only thing that can be public and the people/bot describing it okay to share (like associating their channel to a description they make to specific video) and the watchers device can collect video meta data to find suggestions
