Most people do not want to spend time and effort curating their own feeds. In general, people are lazy and prefer to be spoon-fed algorithmic content. These observations are quite apparent.

However, what if building your own algorithm was as simple as just telling your social app what you want to see?

Now that's a lightbulb moment. 👀

Imagine you could tell your social media client in human language what kind of "algorithm" it should use to compose and rank your feed and decide what to show you and in which order.

"Show me mainly posts about Bitcoin and Art, the more technical the better. Hide posts about politics. I'm not interested in health tips or tradwife lifestyle content. Do not show me any pics of food but you can show me pics of feet. I like cats more than dogs."

Feels like this would be the ultimate user control.
