    That’s what Dropout does, and while I’m not likely to cancel anyway because I love their content, I’m even less likely knowing if I left and came back not would be on the higher sub price

      I did not know that, but I just signed up a little over a month ago.

      But yeah, even if I run out of their backlog, I’m probably going to keep that active anyways

      Super weird it’s basically College Humor legally, but they’re doing a really good job.

        Yeah, the transformation from College Humor to Dropout is honestly a masterclass in business (and marketing) management. I fully believe that it’s the kind of thing that college marketing majors will be writing papers on in the future.

            I think you’re actually the first person to notice (or at least the first to mention) the reference! Always good to see another crawler in the wild.

              Well I’m happy to be the one to make the observation! I’m surprised that no one else has said anything. You know how I feel about no one else saying anything, Carl
