TechShortsApp — V2.2.0: The Profile Update
Moving beyond isolated video ranking — introducing persistent credibility, user context, and a smarter epistemic model.
Video-level ranking only — no user credibility context
Profile Credibility Score + Epistemic Ranking 2.0
🔹 Navigation & Sections Overview
With V2.2.0, each section of the app has been reimagined to support credibility-driven discovery and intentional learning.
Home
Your feed is now adaptive and credibility-aware. It prioritizes videos based on your Credibility Profile and stated areas of expertise. For new topics, you'll see content from highly credible creators first. You can also switch to an 'Up for Review' mode to help the system evaluate low-confidence content.
Videos
The ranking of individual videos is no longer based solely on engagement. The new Epistemic Ranking 2.0 model incorporates contextual signals from users with high credibility scores, allowing trusted feedback to influence a video's visibility and perceived accuracy over time.
Playlists
Your saved videos (bookmarks) are now organized for Intentional Rewatch and Knowledge Recall. Playlists sync across devices, and you can create collections for deeper study. The system may also suggest revisiting older videos if new Verification Re-curation has updated their credibility assessment.
Community
The community space highlights user Credibility Scores and earned badges (e.g., 'Verified in AI Ethics'). You can see who the trusted voices are in specific domains and understand how their Epistemic Cascade influences content ranking. It's a place to engage with experts and contribute to the platform's knowledge quality.
Watched Videos
Your watch history is now a persistent learning tool. You can return to any previously viewed video, and the system supports Retrieval Support to help you locate information when it becomes relevant again. Your history also informs your credibility profile based on your interactions.
