Playing devil's advocate here (I like the idea). Won't that make it worst since people, having the blueprint, are going to game the system like how they try to do with SEO?
Sure, people will do that, but the algorithms of popular search engines are closed source, yet they are getting gamed all the time.
The more interesting aspect I find here is that in an open-source algorithm it is difficult to hide shady patterns that keep the user doom-scrolling.
So open-sourcing the algorithm would signal to me that a membership program is supposed to be a major contributor to Twitters revenue and ad revenue, which it currently most relies on, is going to be less important.
