 I honestly don’t know which type of discovery algorithms I would prefer.

A large part of learning comes through iterations. Aka choice and trial.

I can imagine some ideas for algorithms, but until I experience them, try different ones, and provide feedback on my experiences, it’s hard to say what will work.

That’s why a marketplace of algorithms could be so powerful. 
 💯 
 It sure sounds good… Marketplace of Algorithms. Catchy. Very 21st Century and Freedom-Techie 
 Holy shit that’s brilliant 
 💡 
 Yes! Have been wanting this.

Options like viral, based on topics you like according to past likes, follow fav's niche new interests, only giga brains, etc etc =) 
 That iteration component is why I agree with @jack regarding choice of algorithm. Open source is hugely important, but trial and error is perhaps even more-so. 
 is there a bounty out there for someone to build it?
