Popcorn Time for quality children's programming - Bill Nye, Mr. Rogers, Sesame Street, Avatar. Shows that are entertaining AND educational, none of that advertising filled, sassy attitude, Disney Channel crap.
edit: Seems like there is some interest in this. If anyone wants to discuss this more, email my username at me.com
- Eleutheria 13y agoThis a million times. Parents all over the world approve this idea.
- donohoe 13y ago1 million more... Given the source is open, it may be more like curating a list of children's programming torrents and providing a delivery system for people to add their own child appropriate work. I wouldn't be opposed to ads but not the sort you currently find on kids tv hawking toys
- covercash 13y agoWhat if it was a Spotify-like model. ~$4.99/mo unlimited streaming, money is pooled and then pay out a % to content owners based on # of plays each video gets? The more popular episodes earn more of the money.
- csears 13y agoThat seems to be the direction Amazon is going with Kindle FreeTime Unlimited, also includes books and apps. Not the best library of content just yet, but it seems to have potential. http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?&docId=1000863021 http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?&docId=1000863021
- rokhayakebe 13y agoThis extends to regular quality programming as well. Sometimes I spend 30 minutes looking for a good movie before giving up and watching The Bourne Supremacy again because at least I know I won't regret the 2 hours I invest in it. I would pay $1 bounty every time someone just recommended a good movie that I end up liking.
- icebraining 13y agoCriticker solved that problem for me. You do have to invest a little time rating movies you've already seen, though.
