If I understand correctly, that only works with data publicly available (or at least available to 3rd party instances). But there are going to be metrics that fediverse platforms simply don't make public or even track.

for example: i dont imagine that peertube (or even loops) makes public who viewed which videos, when, for how long. and it'd be a huge privacy issue if they did. Even tracking things like who-liked-what are the kinds of things that a 3rd party probably shouldn't be able to just check.

without these kinds of insights, it'd be hard to make a good recommendation algorithm, because you can't really tell how an individual is interacting with content.
