### Will you ever implement video recomendations, trendig videos, etc?
No. From my point of view, these are toxic features. I, and every user, should be using all *social media* to get the content **they** want. Recomendations, trending, autoplay next video, etc. are all features designed to trap users on using the app, to make them forget about the time spent there and to create an addiction to it. No, I won't implement any toxic features on Yotter. Yotter will keep the UI clean, fast and simple.
You get your feed from followed accounts and you can search for any video you like. Only thing I would consider implementing would be some kind of page where you can ask for recommendations for a particular video. This way the user would, voluntarily, ask for the recommendations rather than having a temptation to click on a new, youtube-bias-recommended video.
