Having spent a couple of years trying to figure out any sort of viable Lens algo (ours or 3rd party), I’m not very optimistic that 99% of users would be able (not to mention willing) to calibrate a custom algo that actually improves their experience. I’m therefore a lot more a proponent of an ”algo marketplace” and allowing users to choose between transparent 3rd party algos once we have some good enough ones. These could store username level algo parameters if needed to keep it transferrable. Technically there could be some standard for those parameters but I’d expect that to restrict the format too much and not get too widely adopted. For Phaver specifically, since we have content from Lens, Phaver and Farcaster mixed into one supergraph, any algos we adopt can’t be Lens-specific so that’s another limitation.
Nice👍
This is pretty interesting! The concept of User Owned Algorithm Tokens (UOAT) sounds like a game-changer for social media control. Imagine finally being able to tailor my feed exactly how I want and not just dealing with what the app decides for me. The idea of switching algorithms between different apps could really bring the power back to us users. Quick question though—how would this handle potential privacy issues? Like, if my preferences are stored on-chain, wouldn't that be public info? Curious to hear thoughts on mitigating that while keeping everything transparent.
