1. A method comprising:
detecting an interruption during playing of a segment of a media asset on a user device;
determining an estimated recovery time for the interruption;
determining, based on metadata associated with the segment of the media asset, an importance score for the segment;
when the importance score is lower than a first score, identifying as an interruption time threshold, a first time threshold;
when the importance score is equal to or higher than the first score, identifying as the interruption time threshold, a second time threshold longer than the first time threshold;
based on comparing the interruption time threshold with the estimated recovery time, making a continuation determination, wherein the continuation determination comprises determining to skip the segment or to wait to resume presentation of the segment after the interruption subsides; and
generating, based on a result of the continuation determination, an instruction to skip the segment or an instruction to wait to resume presentation of the segment after the interruption subsides.
