Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Drew Lynch on Crowd Control, Catherine McCafferty on Smartypants, And More!

Drew Lynch takes off his shirt, then has to work out what to do with his lavalier microphone. Dropout's weekly preview wastes little time getting to the practical consequences of audience participation.

The promotional trailer, "Drew Lynch on Crowd Control, Catherine McCafferty on Smartypants, And More!", was the most-watched of the channel's two new uploads, reaching roughly 46,000 views. It previews a Crowd Control lineup of Lynch, Emily Catalano and Guy Branum, followed by Brennan Lee Mulligan welcoming Jasper William Cartwright to Adventuring Academy.

Then Catherine McCafferty supplies Friday's rather specific emergency manual: "The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Sapphic Break-Up." Her Smartypants slide identifies its author as a survivor. The comments pick up on both her presentation and Cartwright's return, with viewers recalling his Dimension 20 appearance in Burrow's End and asking for another campaign.

The other new release, "Off the Reservation | Toonout [Animated Shorts]", follows Native teens trying to make their ancestors proud. It has the strongest daily viewing momentum on the channel right now. Behind it, Paul Robalino's older Smartypants presentation about funny numbers continues to draw viewers.

Overall, Dropout collected about 3.7 million views this week, with its subscriber count unchanged. Daily viewing is now below half its usual level. Prime Video is having a busier-than-usual spell among its streaming peers; Dropout's smaller release schedule offers a new cartoon alongside that very particular breakup contingency plan.

Um, Actually... your subtitles spelled Catherine McCafferty's name wrong while it was currently on screen.
