TikTok literally monitors how fast you're scrolling past posts. No way that can be recreated without massive privacy violations.

You can run the whole algorithm locally. It can definitely be replicated without violating privacy.
Oh yeah I guess I wasn't thinking of running it locally, that makes sense. This goes to the idea of having some kind of self-hosted LLM type thing on a home server...
Yeah, I want to make a TikTok clone, so I’ve done some pondering lol. At first I wanted to copy the Primal caching server and run the algorithm there, but I realized that’s not necessary to for an algorithm like what TikTok has. I think a localized algorithm lends itself to the way nostr handles metadata/labeling
Watch time is very easy to replicate lmao
