Money/Business Would you rather get paid $2 for each word you write or $1000 for each netflix series you finish? (Details below)
Option A: $2 Per Word Written
Definition of a Word: Any standard word found in an official dictionary (e.g., Oxford, Merriam-Webster). Hyphenated words (e.g., "state-of-the-art") count as a single word.
Manual handwritten Input Only: Every word must be physically handwritten by you. Voice-to-text, copy-pasting, macro scripts, AI generation, typing and autofill are strictly prohibited.
Original & Meaningful Content: Text must consist of coherent sentences, essays, stories, or professional work. Gibberish, repeating the same word indefinitely, or copying existing literature (like typing out the entire dictionary) will result in zero payout.
Languages Allowed: You may write in any officially recognized human language, but formatting/spacing loops to artificially inflate word counts are banned.
Option B: $1,000 Per Netflix Series Finished
Definition of "Finished": You must watch every single episode of every single season from the first second of the pilot to the final second of the series finale credit roll.
Active Viewing Required: No sleeping, leaving the room, or looking at your phone. Eye-tracking software is active; if you look away for more than 30 continuous seconds, the episode pauses.
Speed Restrictions: Content must be consumed at normal speed (1.0x). Fast-forwarding or skipping recaps/credits is not allowed.
Eligible Series: The show must be a multi-episode series (minimum of 3 episodes) hosted natively on Netflix. Individual movies, stand-up specials, or single-episode anthologies do not count. Cancelled shows count only if you finish all produced episodes. Re-watching a series you have already finished does not pay out a second time.
Once you choose an option, you are locked into it for life. You cannot switch later.
All earnings are paid out tax-free at the end of every calendar month
