Dropout is back in production. 🫡

Details below. 👇 As I mentioned, Dropout is not associated with the AMPTP, who negotiates on behalf of the majority of studios and streamers.

But truthfully, there's no such thing as a "struck company." There are instead "struck contracts" and "not-struck contracts."

A thread about the strike and Dropout production: 👇✊ I stand in complete and utter solidarity with our striking performers.

I myself am SAG-AFTRA, as are others on our executive team, having come from the world of working actors.

A thread about my experience with long-COVID for anyone who might find it helpful or interesting.

Disclaimer: this is not medical advice!

💊👇 I got COVID in March of 2020 ("Covid Classic"). My symptoms were mild: body ache, diarrhea, low fever, and a little difficulty breathing. I was better within 10 days.

I had no known preexisting conditions apart from mild asthma.

A few reflections on this, the occasion of Dropout's 4th birthday. 🎈👇 Dropout was founded in 2018 at the urging of our parent company to find a business model that would 10x us. We didn't fail exactly; we just didn't succeed on their timetable.

So, bad news – with a twist.


IAC, our parent company, has made the difficult decision to no longer finance us. Today, 100+ brilliant people lost their jobs, some of whom are my dear, dear friends. Hire them. (thread) The twist, however, is that IAC has agreed to let me run with the company myself. In words that I’m sure are as surreal to read as they are to type, I will soon become the new majority owner of CH Media.
