Jesse David Fox: 我认为Dropout的成功在于它独特的喜剧内容和与观众的紧密联系。作为一个独立平台,Dropout能够摆脱传统好莱坞的束缚,创造出更具创意和个性化的节目。观众们不仅仅是观看节目,更是沉浸在整个Dropout的世界中,支持着喜剧创作者。Dropout的订阅模式也很特别,观众们甚至觉得他们应该支付更多费用来支持平台的发展。此外,Dropout的观众群体非常年轻和多元化,他们对节目的道德标准有很高的要求,并积极参与讨论和批评。 Robert Reich: 我想分享一些关于我儿子Sam Reich的故事。从小时候起,他就表现出与众不同的行为。虽然他接受过良好的教育,但在学校表现不佳,并在14岁时患有严重的抑郁症。但他最终从高中辍学,并创立了Dropout。我认为Dropout的成功与他自身的经历和对传统模式的挑战有关。
