Good luck everyone :)

As a solo founder this time around, I built Rap Genius for movies & TV shows: https://www.spoiled.tv

Looks great! I'm a huge fan of content like Alt-Shift-X and Every Frame A Painting, do you hope to move in that direction over time? Not necessarily yourself, but providing tools/space for creators to produce it?

Yes! I loved Every Frame A Painting when it was still on and I think spoiled.tv is the perfect space to get to experience that kind of content.

Other than telling friends about it, anything users can do to help?

Let me know if there's a show you're a superfan of and would like to contribute to! Right now, I only have a few shows up, but I take requests if you email me at [email protected]

For example, my sister is re-watching Battlestar Galactica with her boyfriend and she wants to contribute to it.

Love the animated logo.

How are you acquiring user reviews? Paid traffic? Looks like you've got a good amount of views and content already!

Thanks :D

Traffic-wise, I went viral a few times on reddit. The content I did myself and I paid some UCLA undergraduates to write, but working on programmatically seeding it from IMDB.
