Ask HN: Database of timestamped cringe moments in movies
Wouldn't it be great if there was a database of timestamped cringe moments that would have an api that you could consume in extensions that would automatically skip the cringe moment in movies?
What would be a good business model for something like that?
- lusus_naturae 3y agoWhat are cringe moments, exactly? Is everyone's cringe the same?
- julienreszka 3y agoGood point, it would probably require some way to score the timestamps.
- WallyFunk 3y ago> What would be a good business model for something like that? Making GIFs of these moments would be fruitful, although you're up against Giphy and a few others who have monetized GIFs.
- fullshark 3y agoWhy would you want to skip scenes of a movie? Is cringe code for sex/violence/nudity? There is a market for skipping that.
- mattl 3y agoYou’d need extensions for a lot of things like Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire Sticks and all the various apps on those devices. I doubt many of the apps can be scripted in that manner.
- remram 3y agoThis sounds like data that is difficult to collect and rather worthless. You mention wanting to "skip the cringe moments" but would the movie still make sense? Why would you want to do that? And I can't think of another use case either.
