Claim 18:
19. A method comprising:
processing, via at least one hardware processor or a computer system, sentiment inputs that have been received from different electronic devices that are used by viewers to view a video stream and storing the sentiment inputs to memory of the computer system;
for each one of a plurality of different time slices in connection with the video stream:
(a) determining a plurality of validated viewer sentiment inputs that are within a corresponding time slice of the video stream based on the sentiment inputs stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium, wherein each one of the plurality of validated viewer sentiment inputs is associated with a corresponding user identifier,
(b) modifying at least some of the validated viewer sentiment inputs, wherein each corresponding modified validated viewer sentiment input is adjusted based on (1) a number of validated viewer sentiment inputs from other users in comparison to a total number of viewers within the time slice of the video stream, and (2) other stored sentiment inputs that are associated with a time that is outside of the corresponding time slice and are also associated with the same corresponding user identifier as the validated viewer sentiment input being adjusted, and
(c) calculating a sentiment value for the corresponding time slice based at least in part on modified ones of the validated viewer sentiment inputs; and

storing, to the non-transitory computer-readable medium and in connection with each one of the plurality of different time slices associated with the video stream, the calculated sentiment value for each time slice; and
synchronizing video content of a displayed version of the video stream with a displayed indicator that is based on the calculated sentiment value for one of the plurality of different time slices that corresponds to a time of the video content of the displayed version.
