Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing selectable content creator controls in conjunction with sponsored media content items. A method includes receiving a media content item of a first user of a content sharing platform, wherein the media content item reflects a positive review of a product of a second user of the content sharing platform, and providing the media content item of the first user for presentation to the second user. The method further includes receiving a selection of the media content item by the second user, the selection of the media content item indicating a request of the second user to sponsor a presentation of the media items to users of the content sharing platform to promote the product of the second user, creating a media player interface comprising the media content item and a control selectable to view information promoting additional media content items of the first user, and providing the media player interface for presentation to a third user of the content sharing platform.

Abstract: Implementations relate to an image cache used for replacing portions of images. In some implementations, a method includes examining a received image and detecting a subject depicted in a subject portion of the received image. The method determines a likelihood that the subject portion will be used as a replacement to be inserted in place of one or more corresponding subject portions in future images examined at a later time. The subject portion, or a reference thereto, is stored in an image cache in response to the determined likelihood being greater than a predetermined threshold. The image cache is available to be searched for the subject portion and other portions of images to replace corresponding portions of future images.

Abstract: Implementations disclose methods and systems for providing offline content notification reminders. A method includes downloading, via a network, a content item onto a user device; receiving, from a server device via the network, an offline reminder notification for the content item, a time frame for presenting the offline reminder notification, and a user engagement state threshold; placing the offline reminder notification for the content item in a notification queue; determining, at a time corresponding to the time frame, a user engagement state in relation to the content item; determining whether the user engagement state meets the user engagement state threshold; and in response to determining that the user engagement state does not meet the user engagement state threshold, presenting the offline reminder notification for the content item via the user device during the time frame, and removing the offline reminder notification from the notification queue.

Abstract: A method for identifying insertion points for inserting live content into a continuous content stream is disclosed. The method includes identifying a live content item to include in a continuous content stream, and identifying an interesting portion of the live content stream, the interesting portion corresponding to a time duration. The method further includes computing an estimated end time of a first content item included in the continuous content stream, and scheduling the live content item to be included in the continuous content stream as a next content item to be presented after the first content item in response to a determination that the estimated end time of the first content item occurs within the time duration.
