         29 . The method of  claim 21  further comprising:
 for each operation in the identified first and second sets of operations, determining, by the computing system, a respective operation score; and 
 using, by the computing system, the identified first and second sets of operations to determine the media content item score of the selected media content item comprises using, by the computing system, the determined operation scores to determine the media content item score of the selected media content item. 
 
     
     
         30 .
