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

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?

im thinking of something more like a browser extension that modifies webpage with recommendations, so far its 1 person (myself) then build up from there. i dont think peertube instance would have to be involved outside of just giving the meta data for local videos
