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."

We assumed Dropout's contract - the New Media Agreement for Non-Dramatic Programming - was struck because it wasn't specifically on a list of non-struck contracts. After speaking at length with our lawyers and with SAG, turns out that is not the case.

So, Dropout can return to business as usual. And because our shows were never struck, talent can go back to promoting their Dropout appearances. 🎉

But make no mistake about it: We continue to support our striking performers and their cause. - Between Dropout and me personally, we have donated $20,000 to the Entertainment Community Fund.

- If anyone doesn't feel comfortable working with us or promoting their work during the strike for whatever reason, we respect that position.

- While we already pay above minimums, we will continue to go above and beyond to reward and protect our performers *and* crew members, and plan to put even more of our money where our mouth is before the end of the year.

Dropout fans, thank you for your support and solidarity during this uncertain time. Keep supporting the Entertainment Community Fund - - as well as the pet projects of your favorite creators. And with that, it's back to work. ⛏️

@samreich If the only content out there in 6 months is Dropout stuff, I'll be good.

@samreich This is the important part people. Do not virtue signal without considering this

@samreich Crush the competition then add a cafeteria, clinic, and exercise space. Use the system! Leverage, leverage, lev…..

@samreich No expert but I imagine as well, letting smaller streams go ahead, means that portion of their membership get paid for work which means they don't need support during the strike letting the fund for that go further and last longer, helping keep the strike going against the big
