Recommendations¶
Get personalized scene suggestions based on your favorites and ratings.
How It Works¶
Peek learns your preferences from your activity:
- Favorited performers - Scenes featuring performers you've favorited
- Highly-rated performers - Scenes with performers you've rated 4+ stars
- Favorited studios - Scenes from studios you've favorited
- Highly-rated studios - Scenes from studios you've rated 4+ stars
- Favorited tags - Scenes with tags you've favorited
- Highly-rated tags - Scenes with tags you've rated 4+ stars
- Scene ratings - Similar scenes to ones you've rated highly
The more you rate and favorite, the better your recommendations become!
Accessing Recommendations¶
Recommended Page¶
Click Recommended in the navigation menu to see a full page of personalized suggestions.
The page shows:
- Scenes matching your preferences
- Pagination for browsing more results
- Your current activity stats

- Similar performers
- Same studio
- Matching tags
Building Your Profile¶
Getting Started¶
If you're new to Peek, you'll see a message explaining how to get recommendations:
- Favorite performers you enjoy
- Rate scenes you watch (especially 4+ stars)
- Favorite studios that consistently produce content you like
- Favorite tags for your preferred categories
Activity Indicators¶
The Recommended page shows your current activity:
Your current activity:
• 5 favorited performers, 3 highly-rated
• 2 favorited studios, 1 highly-rated
• 8 favorited tags, 4 highly-rated
• 15 favorited scenes, 42 rated scenes
This helps you understand what's driving your recommendations.
Tips for Better Recommendations¶
Rate Generously¶
Rate scenes you watch, even if just quickly:
- 4+ stars = Scenes similar to this will be recommended
- Below 7.0 = Won't negatively affect recommendations, but won't boost similar content
Favorite Strategically¶
Favorites have strong weight in recommendations:
- Favorite your top performers (not just ones you like)
- Favorite studios whose content you consistently enjoy
- Favorite tags for categories you always want to see
Explore Hidden Gems¶
Recommendations can surface scenes you might have missed:
- Older content from favorite performers
- Other scenes from studios you've rated highly
- Scenes with multiple matching tags
How Recommendations Are Scored¶
Scenes are scored based on multiple factors:
| Factor | Weight |
|---|---|
| Favorited performer in scene | High |
| Highly-rated performer in scene | Medium-High |
| Favorited studio | Medium |
| Highly-rated studio | Medium |
| Favorited tags (each) | Low-Medium |
| Highly-rated tags (each) | Low |
Scenes matching multiple criteria score higher and appear first.
Excluding Scenes¶
Already seen a recommendation? Don't want to see it again?
- Click the Hide button on the scene card
- The scene won't appear in recommendations again
- Hidden scenes can be restored from Settings > Hidden Items
Recommendations vs. Random¶
| Feature | Recommendations | Random Sort |
|---|---|---|
| Personalized | Yes | No |
| Based on ratings | Yes | No |
| Surfaces old content | Yes | Yes |
| Repeatable | Yes (same preferences = same results) | No (different each session) |
Use Recommendations when you want curated content. Use Random when you want to discover without preferences.
Troubleshooting¶
"No Recommendations Yet"¶
This appears when you haven't rated or favorited enough content:
- Browse scenes and rate some 4+ stars
- Favorite a few performers you enjoy
- Return to Recommendations
Recommendations seem repetitive¶
If you're seeing the same scenes:
- Hide scenes you've already watched
- Rate more scenes to expand your profile
- Favorite more diverse performers/tags
Recommendations don't match my taste¶
Your recommendation profile might need tuning:
- Review your favorites (Settings > remove any accidental favorites)
- Rate more scenes to give the algorithm more data
- Remember: ratings 4+ stars strongly influence results
