1. A method, comprising:
using at least one processor to execute computer executable components stored in a memory to perform the following acts:
logging first user interactions associated with a playlist of content items, wherein the playlist is associated with a first playback sequence of content items;
generating a first plurality of metrics based on the logged first user interactions with the playlist, the first plurality of metrics comprising a first metric indicating a first duration of playback of a first content item of the playlist during playback of the playlist, wherein the first duration of playback of the first content item during the playback of the playlist is greater than a first default duration of playback, wherein the first metric indicates a deviation from the first playback sequence of content items of the playlist;
reporting at least the first metric to a creator or curator of the playlist;
subsequent to the reporting, logging second user interactions associated with the playlist, wherein the playlist is associated with a second playback sequence of content items, and wherein the second playback sequence is different from the first playback sequence; and
generating a second plurality of metrics based on the logged second user interactions with the playlist, the second plurality of metrics comprising a second metric indicating a second duration of playback of a second content item of the playlist during playback of the playlist, and wherein the logged first user interactions correspond to more deviations from a default playback sequence of the playlist than the logged second user interactions.
