The short answer
This is a subscription charge for Dropout (formerly CollegeHumor). It appears as 'OTT* DROPOUT' because they process payments through Vimeo OTT.
Why does my statement say OTT* DROPOUT?
If you see a charge for 'OTT* DROPOUT' or 'OTT * DROPOUT', it is an active subscription to Dropout.tv, the streaming service known for shows like Dimension 20 and Game Changer.
The 'OTT' prefix stands for 'Over-The-Top'. Dropout uses Vimeo OTT as their video infrastructure and payment processing partner. Because Vimeo handles the backend billing, their platform identifier is prepended to the descriptor on your credit card or bank statement.
Is this a legitimate charge?
Yes, this is a legitimate charge authorized when you signed up for a Dropout subscription. If you do not recognize this charge, you may want to check your email for receipts from Vimeo OTT or ask household members if they subscribed to watch Dropout content.
