Imagine if any developer could easily create different types of trending algorithms that are immediately available to all nostr apps.

And now imagine if users could freely choose which algorithms they want to use to discover new content. Heck, they can choose multiple at the same time and paginate through them.

That's what Data Vending Machines enables:

many-to-many, clients<>algorithms

For example, this is what "Suggested Content" looks like in the upcoming Highlighter.

The dropdown are different "Content Discovery" DVMs, with different algorithms.
