its staying the same ... if you don't change your credit card info (per their FAQ). So unless your credit card never expires, eventually the price for existing customers will increase.

justchriswood.bsky.social•4 days ago

Here, I am. And here I remain.

hideouspenguin.bsky.social•4 days ago

Came here to say I would gladly send you more money just because I love you and realized that everyone else beat me to it.

sarahv.dftba.social•4 days ago

Keep my subscription subscribed. Got it, Chief!

matzimazing.bsky.social•4 days ago

tempted to cancel my sub and resub afterwards because $7 is still ridiculously cheap for all the cool content they put out on a regular basis and it means more support for that.

genevalangeland.bsky.social•4 days ago

Can I opt in to the new price structure? I'm absolutely willing to cancel and resub in May if that's the best way to give y'all a well-deserved raise.

optimismprime01.bsky.social•4 days ago

i also have this question! i'd support dropout at 6.99 a month. add it to the FAQs yall!

colonialoneship.bsky.social•4 days ago

just update your payment info after May 7th and they will charge the higher price per their FAQ

sdmb1212.bsky.social•4 days ago

Came to make a similar comment as well

lta-brian.bsky.social•4 days ago

Same. I’d happily give @dropout.tv more money.

estefaniar88.bsky.social•4 days ago

Same here! I figured if that’s not an option I’ll just buy some merch to support them further!

grvyv.bsky.social•1 day ago

dnaphil.bsky.social•4 days ago

@samreich.bsky.social is the person I trust the most with a rate increase.

crowares.bsky.social•4 days ago

Just picked up my year subscription and living every minute of Game Changer and D20. Thank you folks for such fun content 😁

whoopty-doopty.bsky.social•4 days ago

Thanks for the offer, but I'll be one of those who'd like to support the work you're doing. I already feel like I get more than what I pay for with dropout.

pepperlive.bsky.social•4 days ago

"We haven't raised our prices in over 3 years, name something besides a pumpkin patch that can say the same thing." Are we just forgetting about the wonderful Costco Hot Dog?

dropout.tv•4 days ago

If you're not subscribed to Dropout by May 7th, you'll pay $6.99/month or $69.99/year! But if you subscribe BEFORE then, you'll receive legacy pricing at whatever level you were at as of that date. For more info, check out our FAQ: https://pricechange.dropout.tv/

colonialoneship.bsky.social•4 days ago

According to FAQ, if you change your credit card info after May 7th your pricing will increase. Thats really weird?? Seems disingenuous as well because this means eventually all users will have to pay a higher price as their cards eventually expire.

colonialoneship.bsky.social•4 days ago

I don't have a problem with raising prices, its up to the customer whether or not it continues to be worth their while, but this seems to be trying to create fake goodwill of "your price won't increase if you already support us" while making it so sooner or later all users have to pay higher prices

patrickfisher.bsky.social•4 days ago

This is actually rather wild. Credit cards expire. If changing your credit card information negates this promise that the price will stay the same, then it’s not a promise.

My credit card expires in June. So, despite being subscribed since 2021, my price is going up?

patrickfisher.bsky.social•4 days ago

Note: I actually came here to ask if I can be charged the new rate, because https://Dropout.tv is the best streaming value outside of (maybe) Nebula.

But seeing that in the FAQ is just disappointing and very “terms and conditions apply”.

wonkish.bsky.social•3 days ago

ICYMI:

ryanmcleod.io•4 days ago

Yeah, if they told me my price was going up $1/mo I wouldn't have batted an eye, but being told it's NOT going up, then finding out in the FAQ that that's only until my credit card expires/gets stolen is pretty odd.

Hopefully it's just a temporary technical issue that's been communicated badly?

dropout.tv•4 days ago

If you're a monthly subscrbier and want to lock in to the current annual price ($59.99/year, effectively $5/month), just make sure you upgrade BEFORE May 7th!

colonialoneship.bsky.social•4 days ago

AND have credit card that never expires. Otherwise the price will increase per Dropout's FAQ.

dropout.tv•4 days ago

(had to repost this because this app hates videos for some reason!!!)

erant91.bsky.social•4 days ago

What if you use Google play to subscribe? Do I need to cancel my monthly subscription first before I switch to annual? Will I lose anything on my current account if I do?

fuggins.bsky.social•4 days ago

Even at the new price, Dropout remains a bargain, considering both the quality and quantity it provides.

writerseth.bsky.social•4 days ago

Full respect for making the price $69.

(I know, the .99, but come on)

NICE

katesloan.com•3 days ago

Thank you, this is deeply appreciated! And thanks for all the joy you put into the world 🥰

weeberman.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yay

tombs.bsky.social•4 days ago

Will this change the YouTube sub as well?

potatocrumble.bsky.social•4 days ago

Not surprised at all with the slight price increase considering all the new production you guys are pumping out this year and I’m super excited to see it all. I feel very happy to support a company whose paying their talents a fair wage and contributing humour and laughter when its much needed!

canti510.bsky.social•4 days ago

@samreich.bsky.social Yo Sam, what if we wanna opt-out of legacy pricing? Because we wanna support Dropout creators even a little more?

frumiousgaming.bsky.social•4 days ago

Buy someone you love a sub!

margaretz.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is what I do! It makes a great Christmas present

soupbystef.bsky.social•4 days ago

What if you create a lil menu for existing subscribers " I would like the price to stay the same OR I would like to support you and pay 1 $ more", you'd be surprised :)

tvshka-homma.bsky.social•2 days ago

Is this because of Trump's tariffs?

soaringchris.com•4 days ago

How will YouTube subscriptions be impacted?
@samreich.bsky.social

firewordsparkler.bsky.social•4 days ago

Quick q - if we gift a month-long subscription to someone else, would their price increase if they choose to continue subscribing?

wiltedpotato.bsky.social•4 days ago

Who cancels their dropout subscription?

mbletst.bsky.social•4 days ago

my inconsistently paid ass

joevgreathead.bsky.social•4 days ago

Honestly, Dropout has been so funny and helpful since I started watching a couple months ago, I'd happily pay the increase.

masonsgettingupset.bsky.social•4 days ago

When you make a post about raising prices but not changing it for existing customers and almost every reply is “can I pay you more?” That’s how you know you’re running an amazing fucking business

sirgroogy.bsky.social•4 days ago

Can I actively choose to give you a buck more? Because I would.

vaiden.bsky.social•4 days ago

nicksempertyrannis.bsky.social•4 days ago

Thank you so much for this. Every bit helps right now. One day when I've got more stability I'll try and support the higher tier so y'all can buy Sam the other half of his desk.

epinardscaramel.eu•4 days ago

😮

jhube.bsky.social•4 days ago

that colour is too dark he needs to drink more water

jametc.bsky.social•4 days ago

this is the most cursed thing I've seen all week

artanissnow.bsky.social•3 days ago

Someone get that man a whole desk 🤣

winslow-vs.bsky.social•4 days ago

Can I just pay more anyway? Can you add in a "Just pay us more, but we promise none of this goes to Grant" tier?

jmdragon.bsky.social•4 days ago

The famous non-Grant grant

wonkish.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hello I am [interesting in paying $19.99 more annually than] 50?

richardbenton.bsky.social•3 days ago

How much of that are you prepared for Grant to have?

lextlindsay.bsky.social•4 days ago

This is by far the funniest option. 🤣

hyralt.bsky.social•4 days ago

I miss my dropout subscription dearly, but I will renew my subscription at whatever price you set…. Only when the US stops slapping tariffs on and threatening to annex my country. Until then, there shall be no truce with US capital.

abaxterinto.bsky.social•3 days ago

Fair deal Dropout!

innerlmnt.bsky.social•4 days ago

fun fact, the website straight up ISN'T WORKING because people are visiting it to lock in a subscription

personandstuff.bsky.social•4 days ago

Damn, they tariffing you too?

jginsburg.bsky.social•4 days ago

You were serious about that? I thought that was a Sam Joke

connorzimm.bsky.social•4 days ago

But what if I want to pay more

colonialoneship.bsky.social•4 days ago

just update your payment info after May 7th and they will charge the higher price per their FAQ

arnthor.bsky.social•4 days ago

They updated the FAQ to clarify that subscribers can keep the grandfathered price even if they change credit cards (fortunately)

heart-of-a-hero.bsky.social•4 days ago

Sam and team please give us an option to opt-into the higher price or maybe set our own monthly price(granted its above current).
Id love to support dropout more if i can.

slorpthegillman.bsky.social•4 days ago

I hope you also used AI to design the Dropout Tariff by measuring the revenue difference between you and Netflix.

optimismprime01.bsky.social•4 days ago

how do you think he comes up with points and a winner on make some noise? gotta be the same algorithm

slorpthegillman.bsky.social•4 days ago

This is also why Brennan Lee Mulligan is so upset at not knowing the rules.

reneetherare.bsky.social•3 days ago

Whoa! There is a Twitter and Facebook share icon but not Bluesky on the dropout site? Sam!

sydneyscreams4u.bsky.social•3 days ago

Does this mean more Gastronauts and Thousandaires? 👀🙏🏻

pesz.bsky.social•4 days ago

Is there an easy way to intentionally pay the higher rate even if I'm grandfathered in?

kleddie.bsky.social•4 days ago

will this affect youtube memberships as well?

sauwercraud.bsky.social•4 days ago

Sam you handsome Man, is there any chance to get some comments and such going on Dropout? I kinda miss the interaction with other Consumers there.

philst.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Out of curiosity, was it part of your marketing plan to get people who had been on the fence about subscribing to bite the bullet and jump in ahead of the (VERY MINOR) price jump? Not a bad Idea, I encouraged someone to do that (she and her wife plan to subscribe friday)

blue-patriot.bsky.social•3 days ago

Did you raise your prices to pay for these people to write comments like “can I pay you more?”

flicker52.bsky.social•4 days ago

You've brought me nothing but Joy and I'm totally cool with this very tiny price increase. I may unsub then resub just cause you guys are the coolest.

thistimuren.bsky.social•4 days ago

Shameless fanboy sez: Y'all are the best. You provide my favoritest content with my favoritest people and you take care of me as a consumer and you do it all with a conscience and a genuine smile and I am so grateful and I love it all beyond the bounds of grammar and punctuation.

ashaman.bsky.social•2 days ago

How do I upgrade from monthly if I pay through Google subscription? Do I need to cancel first and then sign up again? Will that keep the account progress stats?

tice.me•4 days ago

I'm gonna keep my $47.99/year legacy subscription as long as you let me, but I'll keep buying my brother a new gift subscription every year and merch for myself to make up the difference!

aridentity.bsky.social•4 days ago

Hi, I'm an annual subscriber from Germany, so my subscription will automatically be cancelled instead of renewed. Will manually resuming the subscription still give me legacy pricing?

innerlmnt.bsky.social•4 days ago

You can press "Resume subscription" which will treat it as a renewal

maximilianyorozu.bsky.social•4 days ago

honestly, with what you all have been giving us, I’d very much rather cancel my current subscription and sign up again after 7th of May

happynatto.bsky.social•4 days ago

Felt like I’d be a weirdo for wondering if I can opt in, but glad to see other folks had the same question. I’d gladly go up since I can afford it if it can help subsidize other folks’ subscriptions and keep y’all well-paid.

Folks are going to need the source of laughter!

rvbdrm.com•4 days ago

Same.

They’re supporting their workers. I’m good with that.

manders1147.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yours is my family’s most affordable streamer, and the one we watch the most. More than that, it’s the only one I feel good about supporting.

Keep up the great work!

bobbysimon.bsky.social•4 days ago

It pays to stay! Still on the OG yearly subscription.

colonialoneship.bsky.social•4 days ago

Price Change FAQ says that you will have to pay a higher price if you update your payment info so lets hope your credit card doesn't expire for many years!

obeymybrain.bsky.social•4 days ago

Looks like I'm losing that Legacy-Legacy price. The card I used expires this month, the replacement has the same number but a different date+security code. There's no way to update a payment method, you have to create a whole new one. 😭

colonialoneship.bsky.social•4 days ago

so much for "the cost of your subscription stays the same if you are subscribed by May 7th"

obeymybrain.bsky.social•4 days ago

Someone on Reddit said they updated their cc expiration date at the beginning of the year and their old legacy price didn't change. Do now I don't know. I guess until I update.

colonialoneship.bsky.social•4 days ago

The FAQ says the cost will change if you update AFTER May 7th. So if you update your payment info now you should be good for a few years.

tice.me•4 days ago

I still have that one, too, but foolishly did it through Google Play which means they're getting even less from me. Which... I kinda feel bad about, but not bad enough to voluntarily pay more. At least not yet.

xxix.io•4 days ago

$6.99/mo for the content delivered by Dropout is still well worth it.

roaddog41.bsky.social•4 days ago

As an existing subscriber I'd pay the extra happily, its more than worth it.

kreilly1.bsky.social•4 days ago

To echo numerous other people, can you add an opt in function? You deserve to raise prices to cover costs and pay your people more and I want to support that.

colonialoneship.bsky.social•4 days ago

just update your payment info after May 7th and they will charge the higher price per their FAQ

dirt-and-stardust.bsky.social•4 days ago

According to the comments it’s not weird that I’d happily pay more for Dropout.
