One of the few things I go out of my way to support that isn't, like, an open source project donation. Virtually everyone on the rotating cast is awesome.

I'm going to stay on the regular tier but there are some cool perks in the higher tier

I'm pretty sure the higher paid tier is identical to the regular paid tier. They wanted to make sure nobody felt like they had to pay more to get the full experience. Their higher tier is strictly for those who want to give drop out more money.

Nope, from their email these are the additional features for the higher tier:

Extras: Behind-the-scenes stuff we didn’t know where else to put
Merch: Exclusive perks and drops
Events: Early access to tickets for Dropout live events

Crucially, none of these perks are video content. It's mostly blogs and the opportunity to give them more money.

Uh, the behind-the-scenes extras might include video, stuff is a very vague term

Sam's video explaining the new subscription specifically says no video content. No early access or exclusive videos.
