Gary Matthews, 41, an ordinary bloke from Teesside has launched an exclusive new streaming service which is set to take on the likes of Amazon, Netflix & Disney+. It is set to be named "Ordinary Bloke+" and will offer 12 videos that Gary from Hartlepool has lying around.
It is branded "ordinary bloke+" and it aims to give any subscribers insight into the life of a bog standard ordinary bloke from a typical suburban area. It is available for just under a mere tenner a month and should keep customers "entertained" for about an hour.
Teesside Live had the following to say in its news article.
A Teesside Dad has revealed plans to launch his own streaming service where subscribers will gain exclusive access to his ordinary family holiday videos and footage of his cousins wedding, it will be dubbed Ordinary Bloke+ and will cost £9.99 a month. Gary plans to make if available on all platforms including Fire Stick, PS4, Xbox One and Smart TVs. Alongside videos of his family holidays to a Butlins holiday camp in 1995 and a sojourn to Benidorm from 2002 along with complete coverage of half an hour of his cousins Pauls wedding, Gary will throw in all the Ring doorbell camera video footage he has amassed since last Thursday when he bought the device in a branch of Currys. Footage from his car dashcam showing him having an altercation with a cyclist is included for a one off extra payment of £4.99 as part of his "premium" section.
Executives at the streaming giant are said to be "slightly concerned" about the inception of the new streaming platform "Ordinary Bloke+".The streaming service priced at £9.99 a month to date offers just 12 videos in total, with a total runtime of just under an hour, nevertheless Gary a dad of four from Hartlepool says he thinks it can easily take on the likes of Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video as they offer so much content no one knows what to choose but on his service (Ordinary Bloke+) it is much more simple and straightforward in comparison. Non subscribers can also get a taster of the videos his service offers as the first 2 seconds of every video is available for free.
"I considered launching this venture as an "OnlyFans" account but I soon realised there was nothing sexual about my cousins wedding, apart from the bride looking a bit hot, and his cousin looking "dapper" for any female viewers.

Gary comes home from work with paint on his overalls and gives his wife a hug (this one has the highest views so far, perhaps because his wife is quite attractive).
As the streaming service went live, these videos actually performed slightly better than Peacock, a streaming service that nobody has heard of in the UK. Gary said he might even add more videos to the "streaming service" if he either "has time" or "can be bothered" but is not making any promises, before he came up with the idea of launching his own streaming service down the Swan & Neck pub in Middlesbrough on a Saturday night Gary previously ran a Youtube channel which contained most of the videos he is now featuring on "ordinary bloke+" but they have all now been set to private. One disappointed man from Northumberland has contacted us to say he has now cancelled as he misread the promotion and believed he would be getting "12 videos an hour" and not 12 videos in total that collectively last just under an hour in total, he has contacted his local Trading Standards office about Gary. He is demanding the £9.99 he paid out for Ordinary Bloke+ and his solicitor has demanded that he either refund that or buy him a drink if he comes and meets him in a pub om Morpeth.
