This is more about getting feedback/criticism for the idea that fedizens should run programs that monitor what they engage with similar to how Facebook,YouTube, or any corporate online service would simply so you can use it to run algorithms for find content you might like.
The key thing is that you only share the your data consentual at this point the data will stay locally stored.
I try to get a pulse anti algorithms crowd and it’s hard to figure out if they’re against algorithms generically or just specific platforms. People leave twitch because that also pushes people to be more commercial or capitalist.
The idea came up when I built peertube recommendation algorithm I got the part built for tracking watch time on peertube videos and I thought “track YouTube watch time and engagement to make peertube suggestions”.
It’s a browser extension for chromium based browsers like brave.

I tried to make the alfo as simple as possible. It matches the words of the videos descriptions title and tags to other other videos words and ranks them via cosine similarity (de-ranks then via if the video has been seen before)
I should add a blacklist for keywords because I’m kinda sick of all the Linux content and there’s a lot of Linux content on peertube
Looks great.
I use Firefox, so I can’t give it a try.
