Dropout's Superfan tier makes the subscription more expensive for fans who want to pay more

Dropout, a popular online entertainment platform, has introduced a new "Superfan" tier to its subscription model. This tier allows viewers to pay more than the standard subscription fee, with the aim of supporting the platform's future content development. The Superfan tier offers additional perks, such as early access to new releases, exclusive behind-the-scenes content, and the ability to directly support the creators. However, the introduction of this tier has resulted in the standard subscription price increasing for all subscribers, even those who do not opt for the Superfan tier. Dropout has indicated that the additional revenue from the Superfan tier will be used to fund the development of new scripted and animated content, which the platform believes will enhance the overall viewing experience for its audience. While the decision to increase the standard subscription price has been met with some criticism, Dropout maintains that the Superfan tier is intended to provide a voluntary option for fans who wish to contribute more to the platform's growth and content expansion.
