ontd original: Say hello to ONTDtv, The Latest Streaming Service
Is this thing on?
Based upon yet another streaming service going belly up and this comment. We already make our own content, why not our own tiny streaming service too! I truly didn't think I had to put 'it's a joke' up here but...it's a joke.
Cost: Free for active (post and comments) users, 18.99$ for lurkers. We don't care if you share logins.
Will There be Captions?: Yes, because accessibility is important, even if most of you don't read.
The content: So, what are you actually watching on ONTDtv? Here's our starter programming;
The 100-Yard Scroll
This post has 3 tweets, 4 paragraphs no one is reading, and 5 IG embeds - and no cut in sight; Until the refs (mods) flag them, how quickly can you scroll by? Careful, if you overshoot and slip past the next posts, you'll incite a penalty! Scroll to the finish!
1st, 2nd, and 3rd place Leaderboards change every day. Play against other members!
Stan Legion (working title).
There are six users known for their stanning of certain people. One person wants to join them.
Can they face the trials and make it to be the seventh stan?
Sometimes you defend [your fave]. And sometimes, you even win.
Separated by medium category - We wouldn't want the pop girlie stans fighting us actor stans.
Most Popular Post of the Day
Ever scroll past a post that later turns out to have a firestorm in the comments reaching 200+ comments? Bet on which post that will be!
Jackal Hooks
For a dying community, certain things can wake them up.
This OP has posted this as clear bait; It will definitely get comments, but how will they flow? Calling out the OP? A discussion? Or do the comments descend into a multiverse of madness?
Often filmed at the same time as "Most Popular Post of th Day"
Debbie Downer
There's a pool of 5 users who are always miserly that change each day. Who will bring everyone down? Place your bets!
Features a betting pool. You can contribute LJ tokens or PayPal payments; No Crypto!
Discussion Post?
"I found a random post about this topic online as an excuse for us to talk about it. Discussion post?"
Users (Ranges from 1 person and the LiveJournal bot to 40+ people) get together and talk about the TV/Movie in the post. May also be a general program for other mediums, such as video games, Sunday Box Office, and New Music.
Bonus: On Demand classes from ONTD University. No excuse not to educate yourselves now!
