Weird World: Company offers people cash to watch TV

A company is offering people the chance to get paid to watch TV.

Marketplace OnBuy is offering candidates the chance to get paid £35 an hour to binge on the latest shows.

The job description is asking for a ‘Tech Tester’ to provide feedback on a number of electronic products, such as TVs, cameras, headphones, and home cinema equipment.

Applicants don’t require any tech experience, but must be fluent in English and have good writing skills as they are required to complete a 200-word report for the role.

OnBuy founder Cas Paton said: “We aim to provide customers with accurate information and seamless experience, so by collecting feedback from a tech expert, we can provide customers with in-depth information from someone who’s really put the product through its paces.”
