Good to hear that :) I hope they are decent recommendations !
Thanks for sharing this Stani. No idea about this. Wish you a very speed recovery🙏
I think these scores are just to solve the cold-start problem. When we get some cool accounts to Lens we want to give a bit of visibility (who-to-follow and explore feed for example). We maintain and try to update this but the plan might be to let the community maintain it in the future or if we mature in our algos (hopefully) we don’t even need this.
Yes ! completely agree. I believe Users should have an option to chose what they want. I believe in that freedom but the tooling should be there, I think less than 1% if we talk in (Billion scale) would be interested in chosing what they want. Lot of users don't know what they want and they don't need to know all these. Agents should solve for all the users by default (of course in full transparency and fair to all the competitors) but if the user wants to pick they should have an option for sure !
Hmmm ! There is user experience which is crucial. Doing all these within the latency requirements is a challenging task . May be it can be done idk. But an easier thing could be the agents pick feed algo everytime user comes online based on the bidding and for that session, that algorithm serves the user for that session! The longer they stay, the better the algo is (atleast the assumption and the agents can use this as one of the feedback signal).
Next time, it could be a different one.. overtime it could converge to user preferred algos with some room to exploration (explore-exploit tradeoff) depends on the user
