Skandal-Kompass
A real-time German reality-TV companion that flags controversial or sensitive moments across RTL, Vox and Sat.1 shows, surfaces the social-media reaction thread, and writes a neutral recap so viewers can catch up before the next Folge drops.

- Episode-by-episode reaction tracker that pulls trending X, TikTok and Reddit threads tied to each show
- Sensitive-scene flag with content notes when episodes touch topics like Femizid, body image or addiction, so viewers can opt in or skip
- Spoiler-controlled recap feed you can read post-airing or save for the next morning
- Cast background cards that summarise each participant's prior shows and public statements for context
A 'Bad Boyfriends' scene allegedly showed intimate photos of a woman later killed by her partner, sparking a national Femizid conversation around RTL's editorial choices.
Strong reality-TV fandom signaled by RTL+ streaming bundles, dedicated podcasts (Aftershow, Reality TV Check, Trashkurs) and large TikTok reaction accounts, but the specific Bad Boyfriends/Femizid trigger could not be verified in searches.Android Apps by RTL interactive GmbH on Google Play ↗Aftershow - Der Reality-TV-Podcast - RTL+ ↗Temptation Island Lagerfeuer Reaction | TikTok ↗
Crowded: RTL already publishes a second-screen companion app, RTL+ hosts the official Aftershow reality-TV podcast, and multiple third-party podcasts (Reality TV Check, Trashkurs) already do neutral recaps per Folge.Android Apps by RTL interactive GmbH on Google Play ↗Aftershow - Der Reality-TV-Podcast - RTL+ ↗Reality TV Check ↗
Free broadcaster recaps (RTL.de, RTL+ Aftershow) and ad-supported podcasts dominate; no proven willingness-to-pay for a third-party reality-TV recap layer, and broadcasters could trivially bundle this into RTL+ Premium.The RTL+ streaming service from RTL Group - one app, multi-genre bundle ↗Prominent Getrennt - Folge 1 - RECAP - Trashkurs ↗
Reality-TV formats cycle every few years and scandals fade; an AI-flagged 'Skandal' feed has novelty half-life risk and can be replicated by RTL+ overnight, hurting defensibility.
Technically straightforward (German ASR + LLM recap + social scraping) but constrained by broadcast/clip rights, GDPR for social data, and a heavy moderation burden when surfacing sensitive or Femizid-adjacent content.
