Now, I do have a comment of my own that I would like to share. I know that Dropout's fanbase can be weird and parasocial. I don't try to come across that way, and I don't want to be perceived as another person making demands of a platform I've done nothing more than watch funny videos from. I know that not everyone is entitled to insider information on every concern and business decision ever.

But with the community in uproar on every platform I've been in (multiple Facebook groups, Tumblr, Bluesky, and I've heard also but don't use the platform formerly known as Twitter), it's been very hard to understand why nothing has been said by Dropout about it. There's been no statements on any platform. I'm not in a financial situation where I want to do superfan at the moment, but I've also heard secondhand accounts that it was barely mentioned in the livestream today beyond a hand-wavey, basic "they were good to work with," which does not address the actual issues at hand. I know that it's a privilege for me to be able to care about this a similar amount to the copaganda itself, but for a platform that's normally receptive, communicative, and open about these things, I just don't understand why they haven't said anything, and it's rather disappointing.

Like Naomi, I don't currently intend to act, because there's still much to be seen, but if it becomes a trend, I would certainly remember this if I were considering action on a future issue of a similar nature.
