Goal: Keep the user engaged while also helping their content reach others.
- ⅓ Entertain Me: Prioritize content the user actively enjoys (based on likes, watch time, saves, replays, re-visits).
- ⅓ Inspire Me: Show content from creators in the user’s niche or artistic community — even if the user hasn’t discovered them yet.
- ⅓ Amplify Me: Promote the user’s own content to relevant audiences, especially newer or under-seen posts.
This creates a feedback ecosystem — not just a passive scroll.
🎨 2. Creative Intent Tagging System
Goal: Understand why someone is posting, not just what.
Allow users to tag their posts with creative intent:
- “Looking for feedback”
- “Sharing for fun”
- “Trying to reach my niche audience”
- “Collaborating”
- “Selling a product”
Then the algorithm would distribute content accordingly:
- Feedback-seeking posts would go to thoughtful users who often leave comments.
- Sales-oriented posts might reach DIY shoppers or collectors.
- Fun posts could join light-hearted, trending loops.
🤝 3. Micro-Community Boosts
Goal: Help people find their creative tribe.
Instead of promoting posts only by engagement volume, it would:
- Identify “creator clusters” — people with similar artistic styles, hashtags, or audience reactions.
- Automatically test your content in mini-communities that might appreciate it, then expand if response is good.
For example, a cozy watercolour artist might be shown to:
- Cottagecore fans
- Journaling enthusiasts
- Other watercolour artists
📊 4. Transparent Analytics & Discovery Tips
Goal: Empower the creator to grow intentionally.
- Offer simple dashboards that show:
- Who’s watching (age/interests/niche)
- Which hashtags or tags are helping
- Where people stop watching or swipe away
- Suggest small tweaks (like "try this tag" or "this song is trending in your genre") that are rooted in creative alignment, not just viral trends.
❤️ 5. Human Signal Integration
Goal: Prioritize human curation over bots or virality tricks.
- Heavily weight meaningful human actions:
- Thoughtful comments
- DMs sent
- Reposts with context
- Penalize engagement farming or bot behavior (e.g., “follow for follow,” copy-paste comments)
🔎 6. Audience-Finding Mode
Goal: Let creators actively seek their people.
- A mode where you say: “Help me find an audience for this project.”
- The algorithm:
- Tests your post in varied but relevant audiences
- Reports back: “Most engagement came from fantasy lovers aged 30–45 in Canada. Try more of this.”
✨ The Experience:
For users, this would feel like:
- “I’m seeing amazing art I’d never find on my own.”
- “My work is finally reaching people who get it.”
- “The algorithm is helping me grow without selling out.”
