I like the spirit of this. But we also need to remember that "The Algorithm" isn't a single thing. Each service has its own weights and calculations. Each algorithm is designed to do something specific.
Each service builds their algorithm to serve the ends of the ones who control that service. This generally yields an undemocratic system, by design.
