1. A method comprising:
receiving metadata corresponding to a segment of a media asset currently being played;
identifying a sponsored object from the metadata corresponding to the segment of the media asset while the segment of the media asset is being played; and
based at least in part on identifying the sponsored object:
determining that the sponsored object is related to a consumable object associated with a profile of a user;
determining a status of a consumption level for the consumable object;
determining based on the status of the consumption level and the metadata corresponding to the segment of the media asset, whether the consumable object is a demanded object; and
based at least in part on determining that the consumable object is the demanded object, adding the sponsored object to a list of objects associated with a user profile.
