Abstract

A method for splitting content channels is disclosed. The method includes identifying, by a processing device of a content sharing platform, result channels originating from a target channel of the content sharing platform, wherein each of the result channels corresponds to a set of users of the target channel that view a similar set of content items from the target channel. The method may further include, for each of the result channels, subscribing, by the processing device to the result channel, the set of users that corresponds to the result channel, and associating, by the processing device to the result channel, the set of the content items of the target channel that corresponds to the subscribed set of users of the result channel.
