Make it slightly fancier and assign a “similarity” between users.

Start with uniform similarity, and as preferences are made, adjust them.

Then you have personalization.



I'm not sure what you mean by this - are you saying that the episodes that get displayed would be based on what is likely that other users would've picked for the same show?


I’m saying that instead of one objective ordering, you have a subjective per user ordering.

The decisions made by other users get a weight assigned to them, which is individual to each logged in user. So every users viewpoint is personalized.

(Apologies for the short explanation, I’m on mobile. If you want to ask more you can email me.)
