Introducing BooTV: A Paywall Publication for Dogs
Obligatory joke disclaimer since internet is srs bsns
In light of the recent controversy surrounding a Paul Graham interview published on a paywalled publication called The Information, I decided to start my own paywalled publication for dog professionals who need to stay up to date on breaking news in the tech world. (There is no reason to target cats, since as we all know, cats have no interest in startups, or technology in general.) BooTV features my roommate’s dog, Boo, interviewing prominent thought leaders and actual leaders in the tech community. Here are some samples from some of his recent interviews:
Boo places a rope on Paul Graham’s lap.
PG: What is this?
Boo wags his tail.
Boo mistakes Steve Ballmer’s voice for a howl. He attempts to howl with Ballmer as he answers the questions.
Boo sits down next to Marissa Mayer and licks the carpet. She stares at him and eats blueberries.
This is truly the highest grade tech journalism that money can buy. To read the full articles, simply subscribe to BooTV! The Information costs $399 a year, but after doing some preliminary market research, I discovered that 100% of people like Boo better than Paul Graham. On the other hand, no one has ever paid more than $0 for content on the internet in their life. Therefore, I am going to set the cost of BooTV at $249/month, which is almost enough for Boo to get a desk at a coworking space in the Bay Area.
Luckily Boo started programming since before he was 13 dog years old, so I think he will fit VCs’ stereotype of a Real Geek Dog and be eligible for funding to take BooTV to the next level.
