Systems and methods for ranking and providing related media content based on signals

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:
• detecting a trigger to generate a set of media content items associated with at least one of a particular media content item or a user viewing the particular media content item, wherein the trigger is a command resulting in playback of the particular media content item;
• utilizing a plurality of content generators to generate a plurality of subsets of media content items, wherein each of the plurality of content generators identifies a respective subset out of the plurality of subsets of media content items based on at least one of information associated with the particular media content item or information associated with the user viewing the particular media content item;
• ranking, based on respective information associated with each media content item, at least some media content items in at least some of the plurality of subsets of media content items;
• and
• selecting one or more media content items, from at least some of the plurality of subsets of media content items, that satisfy specified ranking criteria, the one or more media content items being selected to be included in the set of media content items.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:

• detecting a trigger to generate a set of media content items associated with at least one of a particular media content item or a user viewing the particular media content item, wherein the trigger is a command resulting in playback of the particular media content item;
• utilizing a plurality of content generators to generate a plurality of subsets of media content items, wherein each of the plurality of content generators identifies a respective subset out of the plurality of subsets of media content items based on at least one of information associated with the particular media content item or information associated with the user viewing the particular media content item;
• ranking, based on respective information associated with each media content item, at least some media content items in at least some of the plurality of subsets of media content items;
• and
• selecting one or more media content items, from at least some of the plurality of subsets of media content items, that satisfy specified ranking criteria, the one or more media content items being selected to be included in the set of media content items.
