Will we see feed-algorithms-as-a-service (FAAAS) someday? Whereby any FC client allows the user to select their preferred algo from a list of open-source options published in a standard format to GitHub.

Various algos would offer followers only, followers + their followers, language-specific, zero-censorship, OGs, etc

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.

We explored this idea of feed marketplace at Nouns x Farcaster. Unsure about the marketplace bit, because it was meant as an open standard with a few partners like mbd.xyz

Certain communities do have a vested interest though.

Just checked out mbd.xyz, very cool.  What is the idea of the marketplace, tho?  Who is the buyer?
