1. A method comprising:
generating for display a grid guide, wherein the grid guide comprises a first plurality of content identifiers;
accessing a database of previously consumed content comprising a second plurality of content identifiers, each corresponding to previously consumed content;
generating for display a shifted grid guide including:
comparing a first content identifier of the first plurality of content identifiers to a second content identifier of the second plurality of content identifiers;
identifying a match between a content identifier of the first plurality of content identifiers and a content identifier of the second plurality of content identifiers;
removing, in response to the identifying, any matched content identifier from the first plurality of content identifiers to thereby produce a plurality of shifted content identifiers; and
providing for display the plurality of shifted content identifiers.
