What is Dropout TV?

Dropout TV is the reincarnation of the YouTube content powerhouse, CollegeHumor. Back in 2020 IAC shut down CollegeHumor and sold the IP to Sam Reich, who is now the benevolent and mischievous owner and operator of Dropout TV. While Dropout retains many of the same cast and crew members from its college days, this iteration focuses more on unscripted long form episodes in gameshow, interview, and tabletop gaming formats.

How much does Dropout TV cost in Australia?

The platform is one of the cheaper subscription services, even if the Australian dollar pushes that envelope. Priced at $6.99 per month in the US, in Australia that comes out to $9.17 per month or $91.74 per year on an annual subscription. The price includes access to all the content on the platform, 4K streaming, zero ads, unlimited downloadable content, and up to three concurrent streams on devices.

Sitting under $10 per month, Dropout is below the average price of ad-free streamers in Australia, and doesn't have a reputation for rising prices. While the big players like Disney and Netflix have increased prices multiple times in a year, Dropout has implemented one price rise and it didn't even effect current subscribers.

Here is how Dropout's prices compare to other streaming platforms in Australia.

Does Dropout TV have a free trial?

Yes, Dropout TV has a three day free trial for all new subscribers. After the trial is over, users will automatically be charged either $9.17 or $91.74, depending which subscription tier was chosen during set up.

What can I watch on Dropout?

The streaming platform is made up exclusively of original series, and comedy specials by the Dropout cast and crew. Its collection ranges long form series, tabletop gaming campaigns, minisodes, and specials ranging from five minutes to two hours long.

Within these vague categories are a few formats; Game Changer, Make Some Noise, and Thousandaires are all game shows, Very Important People, and Dirty Laundry are interview talk shows, and Dimension 20 is a tabletop gaming play through. None of these are conventional of their formats, but it gives you a bit of an idea of what you can expect.

If you're unsure if you'll like Dropout content then your best bet is to take a gander at each show's social media. The platform posts a range of clips to dedicated social channels which should give you a bite sized nibble of what the show has to offer. If you find yourself endlessly scrolling through the Gastronauts instagram, then you'll probably enjoy the kind of work Dropout is putting out.

Best internet plans for Dropout

To get the best Dropout experience you'll need an internet plan that can handle 4K playback. According to Dropout, in order to stream in 4K you need a minimum 22Mbps download speed, but that drops down to 12Mbps for 2K, and 7Mbps for 1080p. The minimum internet plan we would recommend for 4K streaming is an NBN 50 plan. With download speeds of up to 50Mbps these plans should be able to handle a seamless stream, with plenty of bandwidth to spare for your other online activities.
