1. A method of navigating media content, the method comprising:
navigating, using control circuitry, a first number of skipped content selections to a first content selection within a graphical user interface (GUI) display of content selections in response to a first user request, wherein the GUI comprises a plurality of content selections of content categories, providers, and programs;
receiving, using the control circuitry, a second user request to navigate away from the first content selection to a second content selection by a second number of skipped content selections, wherein the second number of skipped content selections is greater than the first number of skipped content selections;
receiving, using the control circuitry, a third user request to navigate away from the second content selection;
determining, using the control circuitry, a third number of skipped content selections for navigating away from the second content selection that is greater than both the first number of skipped content selections and the second number of skipped content selections; and
navigating, using the control circuitry, to a third content selection by skipping the third number of skipped content selections.
