Abstract
A media guidance application the media guidance application may determine end dates for user profile modifications based on real-life events. For example, as opposed to modifying a user profile for a predetermined about of time, the media guidance application may dynamically determine when to remove a user profile modification (or modify a user profile back to a previous state) based on subsequent user actions.

A method for modifying content recommendations for a user profile based on an event, the method comprising:
- retrieving social media data associated with a user profile and an event;
- parsing the social media data to identify a keyword corresponding to the event;
- identifying, in one or more databases, a recommendation modification corresponding to the keyword and a time period corresponding to the recommendation modification;
- applying the recommendation modification to the user profile for the time period;
- transmitting for display, during the time period, a content recommendation based on the user profile with the recommendation modification applied;
- and
- after the time period ends:
- removing the recommendation modification from the user profile;
- and
- transmitting for display a content recommendation based on the user profile without the recommendation modification applied.
A system for modifying content recommendations for a user profile based on an event, the system comprising:
- communications circuitry configured to retrieve social media data;
- and
- control circuitry configured to:
- retrieve, via the communications circuitry, social media data associated with a user profile and an event;
- parse the social media data to identify a keyword corresponding to the event;
- identify, in one or more databases, a recommendation modification corresponding to the keyword and a time period corresponding to the recommendation modification;
- apply the recommendation modification to the user profile for the time period;
- transmit for display, during the time period, a content recommendation based on the user profile with recommendation modification applied;
- and
- after the time period ends:
- remove the recommendation modification from the user profile;
- and
- transmit for display a content recommendation based on the user profile without the recommendation modification applied.
