hot or not is back.
I think the algorithm is janky based on the list.
But, history has shown that people love to see how they rank up.
Historically, these sort of sites allowed users to rank each other.
Given yours is algorithm based, it'd make sense to give some context as to how the algorithm works... and an example of the 'ideal face' according to the algorithm.
sure, the algo basically is i calculate a bunch of objective details about your face (like angle for canthal tilt, distance ratios for mouth etc) , you can see these measurements in the overlaid images you get when you rate yourself. then according to the research online, i try to give a single score according to these measurements, for example, a positive canthal tilt is conventionally looked as more attractive. similarly less error in rule of fifths is seen as better or a specific face ratio as 0.42 is looked as the best, so i assign your mesasruemtns a specific single score according to this research. and then i combine these using some weights to get a final rating. yeah feels like the facemash moment for my uni lmao
