Media content distribution systems and methods

A system comprising:

• a World Wide Web media content distribution platform that receives and distributes end-user-provided media content and end-user-provided ratings of the end-user-provided media content via the World Wide Web media content distribution platform;
• a subscriber television content distribution platform diverse from the World Wide Web media content distribution platform;
• and
• a platform linking subsystem communicatively coupled to the World Wide Web media content distribution platform and the subscriber television content distribution platform, the platform linking subsystem configured to
• automatically select, based at least in part on the end-user-provided ratings of the end-user-provided media content and without end-user input, at least a subset of the end-user-provided media content distributed via the World Wide Web media content distribution platform, and
• publish the selected at least a subset of the end-user-provided media content for distribution via the subscriber television content distribution platform.

A method comprising:

• receiving end-user-provided media content with a World Wide Web media content distribution platform;
• distributing the end-user-provided media content via the World Wide Web media content distribution platform;
• receiving end-user-provided ratings of the distributed end-user-provided media content with the World Wide Web media content distribution platform;
• automatically selecting, by a platform linking subsystem without end-user input, a subset of the end-user-provided media content distributed via the World Wide Web media content distribution platform;
• transmitting, by the platform linking subsystem, the selected subset of the end-user-provided media content to a subscriber television content distribution platform;
• and
• distributing the selected subset of the end-user-provided media content to one or more media content access subsystems via the subscriber television content distribution platform;
• wherein the automatically selecting of the subset of the end-user-provided media content is based at least in part on
• the subset of the end-user-provided media content having relatively higher-value end-user-provided ratings than a remainder of the end-user-provided media content, and
• at least one of a maximum playback duration, a media content category condition, and a geographic location condition for the selected subset of the end-user-provided media content.
