1. A method comprising:
- identifying, by a processing device of a content sharing platform, time interval segments of a content item of the content sharing platform;
determining a score, for a time interval segment of the time interval segments, using signals as input to a score calculation function, the signals comprising at least a viewing weight assigned to the time interval segment, an editorial weight assigned to the time interval segment, and viewer feedback comprising votes associated with the time interval segment from users of the content sharing platform, wherein the viewing weight corresponds to views by the users of the content sharing platform of the time interval segment, and wherein the editorial weight comprises an owner-assigned weight to apply to the time interval segment;
providing a visual indication of the score for the time interval segment of the content item on a portion of a scrub bar user interface element of a media player in a user interface presenting the content item, wherein the portion spans a representation of the time interval segment on the scrub bar user interface element and wherein the visual indication changes based on the score, wherein the visual indication is part of a color schema where each grade of the color schema correlates to a different score;
providing a gradual transition between colors at boundaries of consecutive time interval segments having different visual indications, wherein the gradual transition indicates an escalation from at least one of a lowest score to a highest score of the consecutive time interval segments or a de-escalation from the highest score to the lowest score of the consecutive time interval segments;
updating the score for the time interval segment based on new views by the users of the content sharing platform, the new views to alter the viewing weight; and
responsive to updating the score, updating the visual indication of the score for the time interval segment within the scrub bar user interface element of the media player during playback of the content item without updating the content item or other portions of the user interface presenting the content item.

Abstract
A method for providing visual hot watch spots in content item playback on a content sharing platform is disclosed. The method includes separating, by a processing device of a content sharing platform, a duration of a content item into time interval segments. The method further includes, for each of the time interval segments, determining a score for the time interval segment in view of one or more signals indicating a popularity of the time interval segment to users viewing the content item on the content sharing platform, and providing a visual indication of the score for the time interval segment of the content item in a user interface presenting the content item.
