Claim 10:
11. A system comprising:
memory;
control circuitry configured to:
receive a request to access a first media asset, wherein the request is associated with a user profile;
determine whether the user profile indicates previous consumption of a second media asset that is related to the first media asset by:
identifying a particular genre of the second media asset;
determining, based on the identified genre of the second media asset, a threshold ratio for the particular genre from among a plurality of different threshold ratios respectively corresponding to a plurality of different genres, wherein the threshold ratio for the particular genre is used to determine whether the second media asset, corresponding to the particular genre, was consumed in association with the user profile;
determining a ratio of an amount of time of the previous consumption of the second media asset to a total runtime of the second media asset; and
determining that the ratio exceeds the threshold ratio for the particular genre;

in response to the determining the ratio exceeds the threshold ratio for the particular genre, determine that the second media asset was consumed in association with the user profile;

determine that a period of time between receiving the request and a time of the previous consumption of the second media asset exceeds a threshold period of time; and
in response to determining that the period of time exceeds the threshold period of time, cause a customized playlist of highlights, generated based on the user profile, to be played.
