Intelligent peer-to-peer system and method for collaborative suggestions and propagation of media

A system comprising:

• a first subsystem, implemented at least partially by hardware, configured to perform comparing first preference data of a first user of a first client device with second preference data of a second user of a second client device, the first client device and the second client device each being user-operated video devices configured to store and play media contents;
• a second subsystem, implemented at least partially by hardware, configured to generate a similarity value, based on the comparing of the first preference data with the second preference data, the similarity value indicating a number of common preferences between the first preference data and the second preference data;
• a third subsystem, implemented at least partially by hardware, configured to determine whether the similarity value is greater or equal to a similarity threshold;
• a fourth subsystem, implemented at least partially by hardware, configured to, in response to determining that the similarity value is not greater or equal to the similarity threshold, transmit the second preference data to a third user of a third client device;
• a fifth subsystem, implemented at least partially by hardware, configured to, in response to determining that the similarity value is greater or equal to the similarity threshold, perform identifying one or more suggested media items for the second client device based on the comparison;
• and
• a sixth subsystem, implemented at least partially by hardware, configured to perform, responsive to identifying the one or more suggested media items, causing the first client device to send to the second client device playable contents of the one or more suggested media items.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause performance of:

• comparing first preference data of a first user of a first client device with second preference data of a second user of a second client device, the first client device and the second client device each being user-operated video devices configured to store and play media contents;
• generating a similarity value, based on the comparing of the first preference data with the second preference data, the similarity value indicating a number of common preferences between the first preference data and the second preference data;
• determining whether the similarity value is greater or equal to a similarity threshold;
• in response to determining that the similarity value is not greater or equal to the similarity threshold, transmitting the second preference data to a third user of a third client device;
• in response to determining that the similarity value is greater or equal to the similarity threshold:
• identifying one or more suggested media items for the second client device based on the comparison;
• and
• responsive to identifying the one or more suggested media items, causing the first client device to send to the second client device playable contents of the one or more suggested media items.
