1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
identifying, by a processing device, a client device of a first user of a content sharing platform, wherein the content sharing platform comprises a plurality of media items;
identifying, by the processing device, a playlist of the first user, the playlist including a first subset of media items;
identifying, by the processing device, a second subset of media items of a second user;
detecting, by the processing device, an action performed by the first user with respect to at least one media item of the second subset of media items of the second user, wherein the action performed by the first user indicates interest of the first user in the at least one media item of the second user and comprises at least one of subscribing to a channel of the second user, approving a comment of the second user, commenting on a post of the second user, or indicating approval of content of the second user;
upon detecting the action performed by the first user with respect to the at least one media item of the second subset of media items of the second user, modifying, by the processing device, the playlist of the first user by automatically adding the at least one media item of the second subset of media items of the second user to the playlist of the first user, wherein the playlist of the first user is modified automatically without the first user selecting the at least one media item for the playlist;
storing, at the content sharing platform, the modified playlist of the first user; and
upon a request of the first user for the stored modified playlist, providing, by the processing device, playback of any media item from the stored modified playlist to the first user.
