Abstract

An electronic device streams a first media item from a first set of media items curated using a first recommendation hypothesis. While streaming the first media item, the device receives a first user input. In response to the first user input, the device determines, using a heuristic applied to a plurality of sets of media items, without user intervention, a presentation order for the plurality of sets of media items, including selecting a second set of media items as a differently-curated next set of media items in the presentation order, wherein the second set of media items is curated using a second recommendation hypothesis that is different from the first recommendation hypothesis. The device streams a second media item from the second set of media items.
