If you like Erika Ishii, they're a frequent contributor on Dropout. It costs money, but they encourage password sharing and like 7 different people sre using my subscription. I think paying for independent media like this is the only way forward if advertisers keep ruining the rest of the Internet. These guys don't have advertisers so they don't give a fuck about censoring their content to make them happy.

Dropout is easily a worthwhile subscription for anyone looking for good comedy

It's the streaming service my wife and I use the most.

Gamechanger alone is worth it.

Um Actually and Dimension 20 are extra foundation. Crowd Control is slowly getting up there as a staple.

EDIT: Erika also makes appearances on Make Some Noise which is like the Dropout version of Whose Line.

I get a lot of second hand embarrassment so shows with a lot of audience interaction sometimes make me uncomfortable but Crowd Control has been pretty good. More than anything it just makes me wish they had a live audience for more shows since it really energizes the guests.

Dropout is the only subscription I have.

Dropout and Nebula (well… before I found out they were „discouraging“ people from talking about Palestine on there) make up most of what I’d normally watch on YouTube.

[–] lapping6596@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I feel like there's a ton of pro Palestine content on there. The only this Reddit thread is where I'm sourcing more thoughts.

Thanks for reminding me to not renew my annual subscription!

They do profit sharing with their team too, not royalties.

And when the strikes happened, Dropout supported the strikes and was given an exemption from the SAG-AFTRA strike. They are pro-union and happily work with the unions to meet the needs of the employees.

Dropout is a rare gem in a field of streaming garbage.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

They also have a YouTube channel with episodes of their shows on it so you can try it and see what it's like.

Personal recommendations: Game Changer, Breaking News, Dimension 20.

Damn, thanks for this comment — it was doing my head in trying to remember where I knew the name Erika Ishii from
