Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for identifying viewing characteristics of an audience of a content channel. A method includes receiving an identification of a channel of interest having a plurality of first videos and being associated with a first channel owner in a network-based media sharing platform that provides a plurality of watch sessions to a plurality of users. The plurality of watch sessions comprises a subset of watch sessions that each include a first watched video from the channel of interest and one or more of a plurality of second watched videos from a plurality of additional channels, each of the plurality of additional channels associated with one of a plurality of second channel owners. The method further includes presenting a notification indicating characteristics of content of an additional channel of the plurality of additional channels, the additional channel comprising a second watched video from at least one watch session in the subset of watch sessions that each comprise the watched video from the channel of interest. The second watch video is associated with a popularity indicator representing lower popularity as compared to other second watch videos from the plurality of watch sessions.

Claims (37)

1. A method comprising:

receiving an identification of a channel of interest, the channel of interest having a plurality of first videos and being associated with a first channel owner in a network-based media sharing platform providing a plurality of watch sessions to a plurality of users,

wherein the plurality of watch sessions comprises a subset of watch sessions that each include a first watched video from the channel of interest and one or more of a plurality of second watched videos from a plurality of additional channels, each of the plurality of additional channels associated with one of a plurality of second channel owners, and

wherein the plurality of second watched videos are each associated with a popularity indicator; and

presenting a notification indicating characteristics of content of an additional channel of the plurality of additional channels, the additional channel comprising a second watched video from at least one watch session in the subset of watch sessions that each include the first watched video from the channel of interest,

wherein the second watch video is associated with a popularity indicator representing lower popularity as compared to other second watch videos from the plurality of watch sessions.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein each watch session in the subset of watch sessions is associated with a particular geographic location.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein each watch session in the subset of watch sessions is associated with a geographic location that is within a defined proximity to a particular geographic location.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one watch session in the subset of watch sessions comprises a watch session where multiple videos are watched across multiple devices associated with a user.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein multiple videos included in the subset of watch sessions are watched in response to a selection received from a user.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the additional channel is identified based on low popularity of the second watched video with respect to the network-based media sharing platform and high popularity of second watched videos from the additional channel with respect to the subset of watch sessions.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the high popularity of the second watched videos from the addition channel corresponds to a most watched topic in the subset of watch sessions, the most watched topic being a topic of a highest number of videos watched during the subset of watch sessions.

8. A system comprising:

a memory comprising instructions; and

a processing device, coupled to the memory to execute the instructions, to perform operations comprising:

receiving an identification of a channel of interest, the channel of interest having a plurality of first videos and being associated with a first channel owner in a network-based media sharing platform providing a plurality of watch sessions to a plurality of users,

wherein the plurality of watch sessions comprises a subset of watch sessions that each include a first watched video from the channel of interest and one or more of a plurality of second watched videos from a plurality of additional channels, each of the plurality of additional channels associated with one of a plurality of second channel owners, and

wherein the plurality of second watched videos are each associated with a popularity indicator; and

presenting a notification indicating characteristics of content of an additional channel of the plurality of additional channels, the additional channel comprising a second watched video from at least one watch session in the subset of watch sessions that each include the first watched video from the channel of interest,

wherein the second watch video is associated with a popularity indicator representing lower popularity as compared to other second watch videos from the plurality of watch sessions.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein each watch session in the subset of watch sessions is associated with a particular geographic location.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein each watch session in the subset of watch sessions is associated with a geographic location that is within a defined proximity to a particular geographic location.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein at least one watch session in the subset of watch sessions comprises a watch session where multiple videos are watched across multiple devices associated with a user.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein multiple videos included in the subset of watch sessions are watched in response to a selection received from a user.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the additional channel is identified based on low popularity of the second watched video with respect to the network-based media sharing platform and high popularity of second watched videos from the additional channel with respect to the subset of watch sessions.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the high popularity of the second watched videos from the addition channel corresponds to a most watched topic in the subset of watch sessions, the most watched topic being a topic of a highest number of videos watched during the subset of watch sessions.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

receiving an identification of a channel of interest, the channel of interest having a plurality of first videos and being associated with a first channel owner in a network-based media sharing platform providing a plurality of watch sessions to a plurality of users,

wherein the plurality of watch sessions comprises a subset of watch sessions that each include a first watched video from the channel of interest and one or more of a plurality of second watched videos from a plurality of additional channels, each of the plurality of additional channels associated with one of a plurality of second channel owners, and

wherein the plurality of second watched videos are each associated with a popularity indicator; and

presenting a notification indicating characteristics of content of an additional channel of the plurality of additional channels, the additional channel comprising a second watched video from at least one watch session in the subset of watch sessions that each include the first watched video from the channel of interest,

wherein the second watch video is associated with a popularity indicator representing lower popularity as compared to other second watch videos from the plurality of watch sessions.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein each watch session in the subset of watch sessions is associated with a particular geographic location.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein each watch session in the subset of watch sessions is associated with a geographic location that is within a defined proximity to a particular geographic location.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein at least one watch session in the subset of watch sessions comprises a watch session where multiple videos are watched across multiple devices associated with a user.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein multiple videos included in the subset of watch sessions are watched in response to a selection received from a user.

20.
