I personally can't stand Twitter and only had an account to market Hive, then stopped using that when the rednecks took over. The algorithm I am exposed to most is meta because of running a marketing company with social media practice. We study it constantly for developments and opportunities for our clients but it is always a guessing game at what goes on behind the curtain with corporate platforms.
A neat one to watch will be tic toc as the North American ownership has slid to another billionaire controlling social media. I have already heard reports of previously popular content creators having their content plummet in reach because they might have an opinion different than the agenda/portfolio of the new overlords.
I sometimes wonder what benefit an algorithm would be on Hive. The Trending and Hot sections are almost useless to me and I have to hand crank My Friends almost blindly searching for content and community members I want to support. It is called networking I guess. Couldn't imagine having someone I follow disappear from my feed because they had a change in habits or schedule. Glad for that.
Rage against the algorythm!
I think the only algos id be in favor of is something personal. Like scanning the chain to check who I interact with the most and suggesting me their latest posts or comment interactions they may have had. Other than that I'm fine with what we currently have.
as far as Global/site-wide algos, not sure, maybe recommending newer accounts that are active in posting and engaging and deserving of some curation rather than to have to look for them constantly.
