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.

I just want a reset or partial reset button. Sometimes my feeds get locked in on content I don't want to be merkle tree'd into

Imagine having a slider about how much randomness (from specific people/channels) you would like. Algos in web2 social would have this to give new content a chance!
