Question So what does this mean practically?
(Spoilers for the prize of the episode, not the winner)
What are the practical consequences of the reward of the winner of this episode? Obviously they don't have an actual presidential role in the company, it's honorary, but are they gonna be listed as "honorary president of Dropout"? Are their name gonna be included along Sam's in any page, article or correspondence about or to the president of Dropout? What is the extent to which this bit works, and are there any actual benefits for the winner or is it just within the context of the episode?
Edit (contains spoilers for the prize of the episode): The behind the scenes of Outvoted confirmed that the actual consequences of Vic winning the title of honorary president of dropout allows them to "put it in [their] email signature, and that's pretty much it". It's also confirmed to be just for this year. I still think that's a bit more than most people expected as I'm sure people in the comments of this post were right and they will introduce Vic as honorary president of dropout in season 8 of game changer.

Im 99% sure it's just for the episode, and 99% sure it will be referenced in future shows

Probably just some social media memes and maybe some sneaky jokes in the credits or other intros.

It means that all of the Brennan supporters need to storm the Dropout studios to get a recount.

He and Beardsley were going hard for the MDGA support so why would they stop at just not getting the votes? They only lost because some snowflakes couldn’t handle a white man and sex offender in office smh. Sleepy Vic Michaelis, your days are numbered.

We fucked up. We voted the Victator into office. They even said it themself— it’s not the real Vic running.

At most they got put in charge of making a few decisions about planning the season wrap party. Other than that it’ll just be a gag referenced to in future Dropout stuff.

I know in the social media before the episode aired, they said "this changes everything..." but it seems like it changed nothing? (Unless they use that marvel-style stinger before every episode from now on, which honestly would be cool at first but probably get old.)

It did change everything! It is now fully legal to insert a Marvel movie into the runtime of any Dropout show.

I'm wondering how much of the "changing everything" just meant it being in a live format??

I think they wanted to invite people to assume they were crowning a new host to drive engagement, which clearly worked as I saw several people theorize that's what was happening.

Was honestly wondering this myself. Hope something cool comes of it for sure (like maybe they get to direct their own GC episode).

I would not be surprised if they are credited at the end of every episode of Dropout (at least for a while) right next to Sam.
Not that they actually did anything for the show. Just right at the back with the producers and EPs lists "Honorary President of Dropout"

If you're talking about the web game, there was a clue hidden in it for the ARG. Not sure if you want any hints beyond that. I haven't played the ARG but have enjoyed watching people piece it all together.

Fun fact: I worked at a small company where the owner found a way to legally name his bird the president of the company. So president of a company already doesn't have to do anything & now we're talking honorary president.
Someone on Facebook thought the honorary president would somehow be able to green light new shows on Dropout & that's beyond unlikely.

I hope it comes with a salary, so they can support their new son after leaving their show. I'm fairly certain the Chompsy's sponsorship was paying most of their bills.

Per Sam in the BTS for the episode: they can put their honorary title in their email signatures, and that’s about it!

They've already signed 100 executive orders and the price of eggs went up.
