Our Recommendation System: Personalized Content Experience
To enhance your experience and help you navigate our platform more efficiently, we utilize a personalized recommendation system. This system suggests content based on your preferences and interactions on our platform, ensuring you discover more of the content you enjoy.
How Our Recommendation System Works
Our recommendation system is based on various factors that influence the content you see. These include:
- User Interactions:
- Clicks, views, likes/dislikes, and page view history (if applicable/available)
- Frequency of site visits
- Comments (if applicable/available)
- Page and Content Type:
- Type/URL of the visiting page
- Page orientation
- Tags and categories of the visiting page
- Personalization Preferences:
- Selected country and language settings
- Depersonalized user data (behavioral metrics when permission is granted)
These parameters work together to predict content you’re likely to enjoy while filtering out material that doesn’t match your interests.
How to Influence Your Recommendations
You can easily influence the content recommendations you receive by taking actions such as:
- Interacting with content (e.g., clicks, likes/dislikes, and comments)
- Visiting pages more frequently
- Adjusting your preferences (e.g., language, country)
This helps our system better understand your interests and tailor suggestions accordingly.
Related Videos Feature
In addition to personalized recommendations, we have a Related Videos feature, which links content that is likely to be of interest based on similar user interactions. If a particular combination of content is viewed by many users, it gets categorized as related to similar content, improving the discovery process.
