How would a third party create an alternative algorithm without all the analytics data of which people that watched a video watched which other videos, etc. Would Youtube be forced to release this info to third parties for this purpose?
My technical knowledge is limited, so i didn’t try to go into implementation details. but just thinking out loud about options:
The company would run the code itself (Technically solves the problem really easily, but then running someone else’s code is a big no no, so that’s probably not a viable direction)
The company would create an API for these algorithms to use (Probably also solves the problem, but severely limits the freedom of the third party)
The data would be sent to the user, and the algorithm would run client side (though It’s possibly too much data to send to the client, or running the algorithm will require too much computing)
I expect someone more knowledgeable than myself to have a much better idea of the possibilities and the difficulties.

I suspect that the data would be a black box, and you’d have to make an algorithm that just took in that data and spit out results.
A more sophisticated scheme could use homomorphic encryption that allowed you to do computations over the data without revealing the data itself.
