Abstract

Several embodiments include a data cache system that implements a data cache and processes content requests for data items that may be in the data cache. The data cache system can receive a content request for at least one data item. The data cache system can update a karma score associated an originator entity of the data item. The originator entity can be a user account that uploaded the data item. When wiping the data cache for more storage space, the data cache system can determine whether to discard the data items based on a cache priority that is computed based, at least partially, on the karma score.
