Talk:Dropout (media company)

IAC

It's unclear what IAC's role in the platform was - the current page lists them as a former co-owner and mentions them "dropping" the platform, but has no further explanation of the financial and practical implications. Adding at least something like "co-founded with IAC", "receiving funding from IAC", "partnered with IAC", or "acquired by IAC" would be helpful if anyone has that info.

I've clarified this, so let me know your thoughts! Mnycgurl8 (talk) 06:22, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Sourcing

I can not seem to figure out the problem with the two sources I've added that got flagged as cite errors. Any help is appreciated! Mnycgurl8 (talk) 06:21, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

It looks like you copied the reference citation but not the reference itself from another article! I've fixed it. Brad (talk) 19:22, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks so much! Mnycgurl8 (talk) 19:33, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

The Length column

In today's sneak preview of Nobody Asked, if my eyeballing is correct the current shows' episodes range between:

• Breaking News: 03:19 to 12:58; latest season currently 07:27 to 11:56
• D20: 1:07:53 to 3:09:53; latest season 1:32:41 to 3:09:53
• UA: 19:12 to 41:02 -- 53:13 for S2 LIVE! and not counting the CH shorts; latest season currently 28:36 to 41:02
• GC: 12:20 to 59:37; latest season currently 33:35 to 43:12 (I'd be unsurprised if a finale one went longer)
• Adventuring Party: 13:05 to 1:45:51 -- 4:07:54 for the s1e9 BLM special; 1:59:39 for the s3e17 Crew Edition; latest season 17:13 to 34:07
• DL: 30:38 to 48:18; latest season 41:37 to 48:18
• MSN: 22:19 to 36:55; latest season 29:58 to 36:55
• PIBE: 32:14 to 44:14; latest season 31:35 to 44:14
• VIP: 15:01 to 29:44
• Smartypants: 3 eps - 30:59 to 34:19
• Thousandaires: 1 ep - 32:48
• Dropout Presents: Likely to vary significantly

I believe that we should be generally be using an indicative range instead of a single duration. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 04:02, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Page name

Would it not make more sense for the page to be named Dropout (streaming service)? CollegeHumor seems to be the page for the actual company. – OdinintheNorth (talk) 15:00, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

That's complicated by the fact that the company now goes by Dropout as well. There was previously discussion over at that article's talk page, and the general consensus was to limit that article to content and history from before the buyout, and make this article focused on everything after. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 15:55, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Never Stop Blowing Up

Hi. I'm new to Wiki editing, but I noticed there wasn't a listing of Never Stop Blowing Up in the "Current and upcoming" original shows section. Is that something I could add? Virginiastarr (talk) 20:09, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Never Stop Blowing Up is the name of the current season of Dimension 20 (similar to how American Horror Story gives its various seasons specific names instead of just numbers) and the show is listed in that section. Sariel Xilo (talk) 20:29, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Oh, my bad! Thanks for explaining. Virginiastarr (talk) 20:31, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
