working on peertube recommendation algorithm has made me realize that we should be collecting our own data.

my program that monitors peertube watching habit and stores it locally and should track YouTube watching habit just so that data can be used in a recommendation algorithm. it would be a good idea for fediverse if there were programs that monitors and stores the data locally for the fediverse and corporate counterpart.

the reason why I would track youtube data was to get the titles of the video

      Yeah collecting your data and running your own algorithms are going to be opt in by default. All peertube instance would have to do is send information described all the videos and you’re local machine will pick it out for you
