Here’s a stylus tweak for Dropout to expand the video player to take up more room.

Stylus (Firefox, Chrome)
dropout theater mode by skullcrusher

Raw style
/* ==UserStyle==
@name           Dropout Theater Mode
@namespace      skullcrusher
@version        6.9
==/UserStyle== */

@-moz-document domain("www.dropout.tv") {
#watch-player,
#watch-player .embed-content {
  max-height: calc(100vh - 43px)!important;
}
.site-header .flex-container {min-height:0!important}
.site-header .user-dropdown {top:39px!important}
}

    Man, I should really subscribe.

    I commend the tweak and sharing of such, but I do have to ask: does the player not support fullscreen?

      It does support fullscreen but it’s nice for the player to be larger imo. You can still scroll down for the description etc

        Good to know and thank you for elaborating. I’ve been on the fence for so long, but it’s cheap and the content is really good so idk what’s holding me back. One of the few streaming services that seems to be worth it

    I’ve also been thinking about subscribing. I’m trying to ditch YouTube but it’s hard. Currently subscribed to Nebula but honestly I need to explore their content more. Loved college humor back in the day, so I’m sure I’d love dropout.

    Yeah yeah I know, PeerTube. I just found it to have even less content, but I’ll give it another try.

      I was subscribed to the YouTube channel and also wanted to ditch my dependency on YT, so I canceled it and signed up though their app. It is much better because the shows are properly organized into show/season instead of just a dump into a playlist.

        Nebula is worth a try if you’re looking for more educational content - I’m assuming dropout is mostly comedy. I really enjoy that Nebula is ad free, it just sucks that I can’t share a link to a video with someone easily. But that’s the tradeoff I guess. I’m guessing dropout is similar.
