1. A method of establishing a context-centric shared-viewing party, comprising:
determining, by a network server processor, content for shared viewing based on inputs received from a user via a user device;
selecting, by the network server processor, a first context participant group, wherein each of the user and participants in the selected first context participant group shares a first commonality with the other participants in the first context participant group;
selecting, by the network server processor, a second context participant group, wherein each of the user and participants in the second context participant group share a second commonality that is different from the first commonality with the other participants in the second context participant group;
generating, by the network server processor, an individualized context stream for the user based on received context; and
sending, by the network server processor, the generated individualized context stream to the user device.
