It's almost as if YouTube can distinguish between the type and quality of content when choosing how to weight distribution.

(I'm sure it does, and I'd like to know more about the algorithm.)

It would be nice to know academically, however am not so sure it would benefit us as users.

YT like Search is heavily targeted for SEO, having access to the algorithm will just make it easier for exploitation , we will get even more low quality low effort content in our feeds than now. More good creators will leave the platform.
