About
Ballyhoo Republic is a fake news brand powered by a fake social network. We let users take the lead in creating fake news then let them monetize from their creations. Think the Onion plus a social network exclusively of parody. As a fake news brand, we crowd source for parody news and provide monetary opportunities for all profiles while recruiting the best writers among them to spearhead the satire content feature of the publication. As a means of ensuring quality parody, each user will begin by being matched up against another just-signed-up user in a parody tryout. The first profile to concede more likes over the other joins the social network while the other user tries again. Upon admission, parody accounts can then begin the process of befriending like-minded profiles in hopes of attracting subscribes to their social networks for a small fee.
