A computer-implemented method comprising:
- accessing a database to obtain content utilization data of a plurality of viewers each client device of a plurality of client devices associated with a respective viewer of the plurality of viewers, wherein the content utilization data for a first viewer is indicative of an interest of the first viewer in respective content items and is based on data indicative of a duration of consumption by the first viewer of the respective content items, and wherein the plurality of viewers comprises a second viewer who is not identified as a social connection of the first viewer;
- automatically generating, at a server computer system, a list of popular content items that are currently popular among the plurality of viewers based on the content utilization data;
- for the first viewer, customizing the list of popular content items to generate a customized playlist stored at the server computer system wherein the customizing is based on a profile of the first viewer;
- periodically automatically updating the stored customized playlist;
- and
- based on generating the customized playlist, automatically sending, by the server computer system, to a client device of the first viewer, an instruction that causes the client device to perform an operation for a content item in the customized playlist.
