This inspired me to think: would it be possible to employ an opposite approach - negative selection. Develop a browser extension that hides bad results (based on smart filters) instead of trying to guess the best?
what do you think would be good markers of a bad video? other than the obvious (clickbait terms, repetitive/generic titles), I'm not sure what could work. any suggestions?
Personally GRAPE content (Guns / Religion / Abortion / Politics / environment) especially from opinion news sources.
I notice that when I consume these content I never end up feeling better than when I started regardless of whether I agree / disagree with them. Also a huge time sink.
Also, entertainment content about celebrities like the kardashians.
I'm thinking maybe an extension where when you sign up, it asks: "what do you NOT want to see", and then for all topics you pick it will block videos on those.
Kind of like when you sign up for Twitter or Medium, it asks you for topics of interest - here it would do the inverse
