These systems and methods receive, from the second user, an expression of disinterest in a media asset included in the playlist for the second user, update a user profile associated with the second user based on the expression of disinterest, and determine a recommendation for another media asset based on the updated user pro- file associated with the second user. The systems and methods provide the recommendation to the first user. By recommending media assets that the second user is least likely to object to, these systems and methods reduce the frequency of disruptive requests for media assets from the second user. 1 108 Playlist 104- \ Mannz 112 / i Media B Asset C 3 Media...E. , r116 Media Media Asset D • • Asset A Asset 106 110 114 118 Add to Add to Add to Add to Playlist Playlis Playlist Playlist Plavlist 122., 146- Media 1 Asset A 134-.J I Media Media lAeset B I Asset C ( -I Play 136-- N-I Play I 148- I Play 124 Remove Remove Remove ,..- from 138 ,H from 150 from 126 Playlist Playlist Playlist Rate this 140 Rate this 152 Rate this ,— Media Media Media 128 Asset Asset Asset 130 1/4- 142 164 Like Like Like 132 .
