You Could Get Paid $2000 to Binge-Watch 100 Hours of TV This October

With countless hours of streamable content available online, some people treat binge-watching like it's their job. Now it can be: As Thrillist reports, HowToWatch.com is looking to pay someone $2000 to watch 100 hours of streaming television this October.

As the website's professional binge-watcher, you will be responsible for judging the quality of seven major streaming platforms—including DIRECTV NOW, fuboTV, Hulu with Live TV, Philo, PlayStation Vue, Sling TV, and YouTube TV—via subscriptions courtesy of HowToWatch.com. You must watch roughly 14 hours of programming from each service, and everything you tune in to needs to be live. (That means you can watch current sports, news, and broadcast shows, but not re-runs of Friends.)

And you won't get away with playing the TV in the background while you cook or browse your phone: While using each streaming platform, you'll be required to assess the quality of its service on a score card. You will also be expected to post about the experience on social media a few times.

HowToWatch.com is seeking a candidate with a strong social media presence, the ability to recognize the difference between a high-quality and low-quality stream, and a passion for television. If the job sounds like a great fit, you can submit your personal information, social media links, and a brief message stating your case here. The deadline to apply is October 4, and whoever gets the position must complete their 100 hours of streaming by November 1.
