1. A method comprising:
storing an identification of a first progress point of a media asset associated with a first user profile;
storing an identification of a second progress point of the media asset with a second user profile;
comparing patterns of user interface inputs received during a current consumption session with a first set of navigation patterns of user interface inputs associated with the first user profile and with a second set of navigation patterns of user interface inputs associated with the second user profile;
selecting one of the first progress point or the second progress point as a selected progress point based on whether the comparing indicates that the patterns of user interface inputs correspond with the first set of navigation patterns or the second set of navigation patterns;
pre-fetching a portion of the media asset associated with the selected progress point;
based on receiving input in relation to the media asset during the current consumption session, generating for presentation the media asset starting with the pre-fetched portion of the media asset associated with the selected progress point.
