When a user views content, this fact may be recorded in the viewing history data structure associated with the user. If the user wishes to see a content item that has a prerequisite content item, the content provider may scan the viewing history to see whether or not the user has seen the prerequisite content item. If so, then the requested content item may be provided to the user.
