How Video Ranking Works

SxyHub's feed algorithm ranks every video using a multi-factor score calculated in real time. The key factors are:

Quality Score (40%) — Engagement rate: likes, comments, completes vs skips.
Velocity Score (25%) — How rapidly new watches, likes, and shares are accumulating (trending potential).
Freshness Score (20%) — How recently the video was uploaded. Fresher content gets a boost that decays over 7 days.
Personalization Score (10%) — How well the video matches your watch history and category preferences.
Exploration Score (5%) — A diversity bonus injected to surface new creators and niche content.

Feed Personalization

For logged-in users, SxyHub builds a profile of your interests based on:

Videos you watched to completion (high signal)
Videos you liked or saved
Creators you follow
Category preferences you set manually in Feed Preferences
Videos you skipped quickly (negative signal — reduces similar content)

The algorithm learns over time. New accounts start with a general trending feed and personalize after ~20 interactions.

Feed for Anonymous Viewers

If you're not logged in, SxyHub shows a curated feed of platform-wide trending content. Without an account:

Personalization is not available
Likes, saves, and follows are not stored
Sessions are tracked temporarily for session-based recommendations only

How to Improve Your Feed

Watch videos all the way through — completions are the strongest quality signal.
Like and save content you enjoy — this trains the algorithm on your preferences.
Follow creators whose content you consistently enjoy — their new uploads appear first.
Visit Feed Preferences to manually boost or suppress categories.
Use Explore to discover content by category and tag, which also teaches the algorithm.

Resetting Your Preferences

If your feed feels stale or inaccurate, you can reset your learned preferences:

Go to Feed Preferences.
Click Reset to Defaults.
Confirm the reset — your watch history signals are cleared and the feed returns to trending content.
