First a shift in mentality and approach:
To begin understanding and analysing what users want, and how to build a compatible and sustainable token economics and blockchain around that. Rather than being stuck working on a fixed system and trying (helplessly) to make it function.
One start would be for sites like peakd.com to ignore stake in how it filters content. And instead use user data on how they engage to present content they're most likely to want to consume and engage with.
Yes the frontends have to develop their own content algorithms which are unrelated to stake. That and lite accounts. And the focus being on owning direct relationships with your own followers (rather than via a corporate intermediary who can block access to your followers at any time) so you essentially own your own reach.
@intrepidphotos @fredrikaa That would be great. we would also consider using API from other 3rd parties that offer really good solutions for this.
How cool would it be to have several open source independent algorithms that the you could select on the frontends just like you select your node.
Sounds like pretty good ideas that can be implemented by frontends to help content discovery (and I guess community discovery - if I find a cool piece of content, I might enjoy following the author but also joining the community where it was posted).
