RE: Trusting the Hive Mind: Building My Own Voting Bot for Robinhoodwhale
Maybe something could be created that shows a feed of potential content you may like that doesn't need you to vote on it (so as not to use up your voting power when you may be too busy to check it some nights). I think there was talk of a "suggested feed," but it may have been removed or something
The bot I wrote has a boolean which, if set to false, won't automatically vote but instead give you a link and periodically remind you to go vote for it.
That's very cool! I'm excited to try my hand at it when I have more knowledge. Do you think it will be possible to "learn" what type of content you may like, akin to a amazon or netflix type suggestion someday?
@bendjmiller222 not without building A.I. Netflix has spent a lot of money building what they have. Maybe someday I'll tinker with it though. If I kept feeding it a dataset of posts I've voted on and let it determine some characteristics I like... might be possible. Probably anything with the word "Voluntaryism" would get voted on. Heheh. Then again, once it's coded, someone will game the code.
Absolutely. I know that netflix / amazon /advertisers have invested 100's of millions of dollars into their programs, but wondered whether there was a way to better tailor to individuals without feeding just keywords and such. (I'm sure it's with enough money, but whether or not the ROI would be there or not).
