I call this idea the "feed marketplace" as opposed to "feed-as-a-service" which is what @openrank and others are doing. 

The challenge building a "choose your algorithm" is that the most interesting feeds are no longer just "algorithms" or fancy SQL queries.

For most users, what they say they want in a feed and what they actually do is a textbook example of stated vs. revealed preference.

I love the sentiment. RSS+ etc. 

But modern consumers want relevant algorithmic feeds that aren’t a simple set of heuristics.

yeah had this debate with @manan recently lol

Right, but when you run a 50 / 50 split test, a good algo always wins

They can only do what the app lets them. 

I’d argue 
Consumers want inspiring content & meaningful connections. 

How devs get there? Consumers could not care less.

Right. It’s a client thing. Multiple feeds is a feature of a client. Infra is expensive!

I also don’t see how anyone can realistically monetize feeds for a feed marketplace 

Most users will just use the default

Consumers won’t pay for a custom feed 

Clients will build their own vs pay for alt options that very few people use

Everyone wants this in their feed. Problem solved.

thanks for doing what you do, Dan! Cheers mate
