• generating a new category of content based on the content history for the user;
• arranging content of the content history for the user based on both the new category of content that was generated based on the content history of the user and at least a subset of the one or more preconfigured categories of content that are independent of the content history of the user;
• and
• displaying the arranged content in a manner customized to the user, based on both the subset of one or more preconfigured categories that are independent of the content history of the user and the new category generated based on the content history of the user, on a device that was used to consume at least a portion of the content.
