摘要： Methods, systems, and media for streaming video content using adaptive buffers are provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises: receiving, from a user device to a server, a request to stream a video content item; determining a predicted abandonment distribution that indicates a plurality of likelihoods of a user of the user device stopping presentation of the video content item at a corresponding plurality of presentation time points of the video content item, wherein the predicted abandonment distribution is normalized to a duration of the video content item; and transmitting, to the user device, a portion of the video content item to the user device based on the predicted abandonment distribution.
