  • identifying, from a database, an entry corresponding to an audio-visual content item, the entry comprising a plurality of descriptive elements, each of the descriptive elements textually or visually describing an attribute of the audio-visual content item, wherein the descriptive elements are distinct from the audio-visual content item;

    retrieving a social media profile of the user, wherein the social media profile of the user comprises a history of social media publications made by the entities by way of the social network, wherein a social media publication is a post, message, or reaction on the social network;

    determining a number of social media publications of the history of social media publications that refer to the audio-visual content item;

    comparing the number of social media publications to a predetermined amount to determine whether the number of social media publications is greater than the predetermined amount;

    in response to determining that the number of social media publications is greater than the predetermined amount;

    selecting a first subset of the plurality of descriptive elements that textually or visually describe the audio-visual content item;

    retrieving the first subset of the plurality of descriptive elements that textually or visually describe the audio-visual content item from the entry; and

    generating for display to the user, before generating for display the audio-visual content item, the first subset of the plurality of descriptive elements that textually or visually describe the audio-visual content item; and

    in response to determining that the number of social media publications is not greater than the predetermined amount;

    selecting a second subset of the plurality of descriptive elements that textually or visually describe the audio-visual content item, wherein a second number of descriptive elements in the second subset is greater than a first number of descriptive elements in the first subset;

    retrieving the selected subset of the plurality of descriptive elements that textually or visually describe the audio-visual content item from the entry; and

    generating for display to the user, before generating for display the audio-visual content item, the second subset of descriptive elements that textually or visually describe the audio-visual content item.
