This is slightly off topic but Derek from Veritasium uploaded a video today that touches how Youtube ranks the content using it's algorithm, I find it interesting.
Actually it's somewhat on topic because Youtube utilizes it's algorithm to curate content for it's users.
Just watched it. That was interesting. Thanks for the link.
Depressing points about the click-baity titles and clickable subjects, but I think he's right. It may not apply quite as much here since our feeds still follow the subscription model, and since trending posts rely on whale-votes or bidbots. But I'm sure clickable subjects and click-baity titles probably help a lot here, too.
Speaking of algorithms, have you checked Steeve? According to the app it uses AI to curate Steem content although I haven't looked much into how it works.
I tried it a while ago. Not recently, though. I like the concept, but I've been using steempeak, almost exclusively, 'cause I really like the grid view, and the split-screen editor. I guess for half-a-year or more. I check in on busy every once in a while, and I should probably also get in the habit of checking in on steeve periodically too, to see how it is progressing.
I guess clickable topics and click-baity titles would be more important there....
