    Greed ruins everything…

    EDIT: I get that they’re a smaller platform. But if you launch something like Dropout, are a success, making money, yet still raise the rates after only 2 years!? What else would you call it…

      Our budget is six times this year what it was in 2022. Higher prices simply means that we can spend more on shows, the infrastructure to support those shows, and treating our people even better. And I, Dropout CEO, do not own a boat.

      It’s a niche video production and distribution platform, that type of service costs a lot of money to run. They don’t have an advertising network to subsidize their operation like say YouTube or billionaire investors relying on an IPO and subsequent enshittification down the line. The fact they can operate not only the platform but also pay talent for their produced content with that monthly cost already is a miracle.

      yet still raise the rates after only 2 years!?

      What world do you live in that it’s unreasonable to up prices after 3 years? Especially when it doesn’t impact existing subscribers? And by only $1/mo for the people it applies to.

        I’m cancelling my Dropout subscription!

        So I can renew it when the price goes up because I love supporting their content.
