Claim 12:
13. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising:
instructions that when executed by control circuitry cause the control circuitry to:
identify a first plurality of views for a content item initiated by a first plurality of user devices;
increase a weighting factor score for the content item based on the number of views in the first plurality of views;
identify a second plurality of views for the content item initiated by a second plurality of user devices;
in response to determining that a total numbers of views for the content item comprising the number of views in the first plurality of views and a number of views in the second plurality of views exceeds a viewing cap threshold:
cap the total number of views at the viewing cap threshold;

store the weighting factor score for the content item in a database, wherein the weighting factor score is based on the capped total number of views; and

instructions that when executed by the control circuitry cause input/output circuitry to:
transmit a content recommendation based on the stored weighting factor score for the content item.
