I You have addressed why NCF is different, but you haven't addressed how NCF *users* are demographically different from OTT ones. Do OTT users have webbed feet and smaller brains perhaps, so we don't have a desire for more groups? It seems to me that the whole reason why the popular NCF sigs aren't duplicated in OTT (as a starting point!) is this mythical fancy that NCF *users* are not the same breed as OTT *users* and so have different requirements. Obviously this makes a whole lotta sense because the large number of NCF users who are also OTT users are merely schizophrenics.
