I made a browser extension that track the video you watch on a peertube instance linked here https://github.com/solidheron/peertube_recomendation_algorythm

it works decently well but it still has some glitches and a bug that causes minor information loss that will need to be patched out. so this is in alpha and needs to be worked on. I do have another script that gets the data of a hundreds of peertube videos and the closed captions. so got some basic components of an algorithm started. next ill probably figure out how to categorize videos based on peertube api and closed captions.

It’s weird knowing someone will improve on this at some point

bellow is the data structure of the browser extension. I did watch videos to get that data and all of this will be stored locally. I recommend looking at it with https://jsonformatter.org/json-viewer . leave a comment/suggestion, I’m up for any submissions.
