Make a web page where the user can be presented with a youtube video that they really would enjoy and power a machine learning algorithm by the people choosing which one they like better.
I can assume that I have either a unique cookie identifying each individual user, or else their email/password.
The user is presented with two youtube videos (left and right) with a button underneath, and they can watch it, and or mark which one they like better. When they choose, a log entry is created for them: Xvideo is better than Yvideo. This log is presented to them and a machine learning algorithm picks another based on their choices hybrid with everyone else's choices.
The user can paste in a new youtube video and it is added to the slush pile for rating. The user can click a button: "Show me another video", and another two are presented. They can either choose the one they like better, (for a reward) or else they can just say: "show me another". If they click: "show me another" then it means the two videos presented get an upvote. If the user does not click "show me another" the two videos presented to not receive an upvote.
I can seed my system with a shit-ton of youtube videos it keeps a list in the database of each video by votes.
Don't worry about money until I get a shit ton of users using this on a day to day basis. No logins needed until I get attacked, then learning happens.
Later I can keep statistics and data about the youtube video and use it to decide if this particular user would like this particular video. If the recommended videos are intoxicating enough and perfect enough, then I should be
User can click options like options, for what they want to search for.
Like randal Munroe's thefairest.com (site gone): that old xkcd's website presented the algorithm they used, exactly, find that old website from archive. It's a not terrible idea but exhausts the search space with time.

- I want to minimize computation and distance so this should be as close to a raw html file as possible.
- I can make an index.html and stub out something I'd like there. But where's the db call?
I could put the entire thing as raw javascript and json right on the linux file system...
Button should communicate: "This video is better, Show me more like this". but with fewer words.
Two html tables border 2, 500 px width Two buttons under the page to refresh.
Which means I need some kind of model view controller.
PHP is not-terrible, at least that's the one I have most experience with.
less thinking more coding. get index.php running.
