If you haven't noticed, YouTube's ranking mechanisms became more "fraudulent" at least in the recent months. So besides having a service that provides un-editorialized blackbox algorithm rankings, this service might also provide a view to purposefully/bugged excluded content.

An example of how bad it is, they've started (on purpose or not) removing videos of uploaders that aren't taking part of the YouTube monetarization + have a Patreon link in their description. [0][1]

I'd expect/hope that such practice would be suit in EU courts for unfair competition.

I wonder how "Fair Trending" implemented their technology, if they are using official YouTube APIs and if Alphabet is going to kill this service once it gains traction?

Their about [2] page doesn't answer the "how do we get to the data?".
