Netflix launched two websites based on \u201cStreamberry,\u201d the fake streaming service from the satirical anthology series.<\/p>\n Netflix created\u00a0Streamberry.tv<\/a>, an exact copy of the fictional platform that features characters from the show. The streaming giant also launched youareawful.com<\/a>, where users can upload their own photos to become the subject of a Streamberry show.<\/p>\n Streamberry was featured in the first episode of \u201cBlack Mirror,\u201d<\/a> where Joan, a jaded employee at a tech company, discovers her life is being replicated in a new TV show called \u201cJoan is Awful,\u201d starring Salma Hayek. The parody streaming service looks exactly like Netflix, including the same user interface and the classic \u201cTudum\u201d intro noise.<\/p>\n (This TechCrunch story contains spoilers.)<\/strong><\/p>\n The new promotional website, streamberry.tv<\/a>, allows users to envision the streaming service, which has title cards featuring characters from previous seasons, such as pop star Ashley O (played by Miley Cyrus) and singing competition contestant Bing (Daniel Kaluuya). When users click on the titles, they are directed to the corresponding Netflix episode.<\/p>\n Fans of the series can also go to youareawful.com<\/a> to \u201csign-up\u201d for the service. They\u2019re prompted to enter their name and profile photo, generating a poster of the user as the star of the next installment of the \u201cIs Awful\u201d universe.<\/p>\n However, just like the \u201cBlack Mirror\u201d episode, it\u2019s important to read the fine print. Before submitting a selfie, the website notes that the photo \u201cmay end up on a billboard,\u201d and users must consent to \u201cNetflix\u2019s use of my image for its marketing campaign.\u201d Netflix also has a link to the Terms and Conditions document. <\/a><\/p>\n This is a nod to a scene from the episode where Joan\u2019s lawyer tells her that when she signed up for Streamberry, she signed away the rights to her digital likeness. Streamberry monitors its users through their personal devices, allowing the streamer to produce a CGI show about them.<\/p>\n \u201cJoan Is Awful\u201d was arguably the most talked about episode of this season, given the playful poke at Netflix itself as well as the commentary on AI and the future of streaming.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/br><\/br><\/br><\/p>\n
