If you look at YouTube there are tags but also the category that you can select when you upload a video (Lifestyle/How-to and so on) so maybe we could simply use that along with tags to get accurate classification.

However, if I made a new video platform (Daunting task) I would penalize content creator who purposefully mis-categories their content.

Seems like a decent proposition. If you wanted to hack around with the idea invidious might be a good place to start.

That should cover your frontend, so you could focus on the recommendation scheme.

Edit: If you do decide to play around with it and decide to open source it, could you send me a link to your repo? I'd be interested to watch, and possibly contribute here and there. My email is in my bio.
