CollegeHumor Rebrands as Dropout for Streaming Success
CollegeHumor, the popular comedy brand, is undergoing a name change on its fifth anniversary and will now be known as Dropout. The brand was sold to executive producer Sam Reich after facing financial difficulties due to the withdrawal of funding from its corporate owner, IAC. Despite the challenges, Dropout has thrived as a subscription streaming service, offering shows like Dimension 20, Um, Actually, and Game Changer. The creators emphasize the importance of finding alternative business models outside of algorithm-driven platforms to ensure sustainability in the online content industry.
