Abstract

Systems and methods for increasing a visibility of a content item with a comment by a close contact are provided. In some aspects, a first content item is received. A ranking for the first content item in a stream for a viewing user is determined based on an upload time of the first content item. A comment for the first content item is received from a first user, where a predicted affinity level of the viewing user for the first user is within an affinity level range. In response to receiving the comment, the ranking for the first content item in the stream for the viewing user is updated based on an upload time of the comment. The stream is provided for the viewing user.
