3. If you want to do a feed marketplace with good UX, you'd likely need to create a backend where developers would upload their models and the client runs the model in their infra. This obviously has privacy concerns, but maybe possible. 4. TBD if consumers would be willing to pay for your algo, though.

3. Doable, but does it actually grow retained DAU vs. investing that effort in your default algo. 4. What incentive does the client have to give the attention value via ads to the algo developer. If the algo is good enough, dev just builds own client or client dev builds own algo.

3. I think there'll be a cultural or regulatory shift in some places (most likely EU) whereby some elementary algorithmic choice will be normalized and expected amongst the consumer base, and once that happens it'll become clear how important the algos are, and users will demand more control
