I have always wanted this.
I know my Facebook account brings me feeds based on what I previously liked, read, and even comment on.
Most times, I received notifications about these people when they publish new posts
And then if I am following or befriending any of them, it makes it the better.
When I joined Hive newly I always wished I could get that too. It didn't seem like it. I think I mentioned it once to someone and he said Hive is decentralized and that using a Facebook algorithm like that would mean our data security is bridged
Like he meant Facebook literally steals our data and uses them that's why it seems I have a feed that is tailored to my needs.
Right now, I don't know if you will be needing our data to do this project. I am not against it though. But since that person mentioned such things happen in centralized platforms... I don't know.
All I know is I would love a feed such as the one you are proposing. And I give you a thumbs up for putting in the time to make this work.
Yes, the "downside" is that data needs to be collected. We have a couple of data points which are available from the blockchain, but to get good results we need to store more, site-usage specific sets.
As we're all committed to the idea of self-ownership, this will be made transparent though. Users will have to opt-in, and then will get an overview of what data we store about them, fine grained control over what they don't want to be stored in the future, and of course the possibility to delete it themselves without it still remaining in some hidden database.
My concern is also giving our data.
I summed up all my thoughts long ago in this video:
