Abstract
Systems and methods are provided herein for recommending a pause position during a binge-watching session. A series containing multiple sequential episodes is provided to a user device. Then it is determined whether the user is engaged in binge-watching the series. If the user is binge-watching the series, a binge compulsion score is determined for each episode of the plurality of sequential episodes, where the binge compulsion score is based on how many additional sequential episodes an average user has watched after watching that episode. Then, in response to determining that the binge compulsion score of the next episode corresponds to a threshold, a prompt is generated for display, where the prompt includes a recommendation to the user to pause the series before the next episode begins.
