WIP: Boost

This is a Work In Progress proposal. It is open for discussion and subject to change.

The ad hoc boost system has got us this far, but it's abilities are limited. I am proposing a new boost delivery system.

The boost system needs the capability to deliver:

  • Newsfeed Content
  • Sidebar Content
  • Channel Content

The boost system needs to respect the privacy of users:

  • A user is assigned a boost identifier to allow anonymous tracking within minds.com
  • All interaction with the boost system uses the boost identifier not the user id
  • User can view all data associated with their assigned boost identifier at any time via boost console
  • User can disassociate with a boost identifier and associate with a new one at will
  • Explicit acceptance before any action that could compromise privacy is executed (e.g. user clicking a link to a third party site on a targeted boost could reveal their identity)

The boost system needs to use targeting to deliver relevant content and satisfy any regulatory compliance:

  • Country level targeting (minimum requirement for compliance)
  • User Age or some form of verification flag targeting filter (required for compliance for some categories)
  • Hashtag allow/deny list
  • Group allow/deny list
  • Channel allow/deny list

The boost system needs to collect data to (im)prove ROI for advertisers and improve relevancy of content:

  • Country of user (see above)
  • Impressions (count + time duration)
  • Interactions (expand/click/thumbsup/thumbsdown/subscribe/remind/comment)

The boost system needs to collect data to detect and prevent fraud:

  • IP address
  • GeoIP data obtained from IP address (country, connection type, proxy type)
  • Device metrics for bot identification and classification (OS, Browser, Metrics collected from browser e.g. screen width, height, fonts)

The boost system will use a fully transparent algorithm to balance supply and demand.

There will be a level of revenue sharing between Minds and the creators of the content that boosted content appears alongside.
