Well, I've been building algorithms which explain _why_ something was surfaced, not just being a black box. Everything is controllable from data sources, ranking/filtering weights and a feedback mechanism to tweak this.
As for monetisation, I've thought about this a lot - and I don't think the time wasting is needed to create a good product. Google Search certainly isn't fueled by dopamine hits, and from an ads standpoint, our users are saying exactly what they want to see every morning.
- KajMagnus 6y agoFeature request: When I find an article that the algorithm did Not suggest — but I like the article. Then, it'd be nice to know how I could tweak the algorithm and its config values, so it would find such articles, thereafter. And to dry-run the algorithm to verify that now it does indeed find that article. (You don't have a website yet?)
- throwawayinfo 6y agoThanks for the suggestion. A Chrome Extension was my solution for this. I have an MVP and real userbase which I spent time growing. Now I have a platform to experiment with the grander idea here. That being said, I'm not willing to link to this yet because it's tied to my public persona and not yet my full time job.
