I made this site where you upload a photo of your face and it ranks your face on a bunch of measurable parameters , and then gives you a final rating based on how close your features are to the ideal face. There is also a public leaderboard. This went kind of viral at my uni when i launched it, like over a 1000 people have gotten their ratings and people seem so exicted to see where there friends rank etc. curious to see what y'all think

The people at the top of the leaderboard aren't particularly attractive in my opinion.

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.

I sanity-checked it with two headshots of the same third party and it swung ~2.5 points, so it seems to capture state (lighting/angle/expression) more than trait. Then I uploaded my own photo and got an unexpectedly high score, which conclusively validates the model and my rigorous n=2 study.
