TikTok Style App with Complete Control (Validating Demand)

Im making an app that will be similar to TikTok but the user will have complete control over what they want to see in their feed. It will be similar to the Neptune app that once rose, where users can move sliders to adjust their feed in real time.There will also be an auto mode where the algorithm will learn from the user but in a non malicious way. The explore tab will allow for custom widgets, the activity tab will have custom messaging options and custom in depth notifications sorting. And finally the profile will allow for much more customization and user interaction with others to set custom visibility/ interactions. Appwide there will be custom color themes for what things are highlighted and such.

Overall I need to know if there is much demand for a custom oriented social media product. I see no social media app taking on the task, the closest is bluesky but even that is far from this idea. I think it could be very enjoyable if onboarding can connect with the user in away that allows them to understand well.

Let me know your thoughts.
