I was reflecting the other day on the "like" function on multimedia sharing platforms like youtube, instagram etc... I wish that it was a scaled value calculated something like this: (amount of media consumed)/(number of likes given). So for someone who watches a lot of content but drops a lot of likes, those likes will add moderate boost to the algorithm, but then someone like me, who watches a good amount but only likes things if they are truly phenomenal can just drop like bombs on content that is actually superb. #youtube #instagram
