[Page Update] Changing Up Some Patron Rewards
🕑 Added 2019-08-29 00:16:13 +0000 UTCSo I've been thinking of making patron rewards a bit more interesting, and I want to know your opinions.
PROPOSE CHANGE NO. 1:
Outside of the weekly update, I'm thinking I'll start posting small tidbits of behind the scene infos every few days: Pics of editing process, parts of scripts, what's new in the next episode, work in progress thumbnails, etc.
In the past, I avoided spoiling the topic for upcoming episodes. But I honestly don't think many people care if they know what the topic is ahead of time. So instead, I can invite you to the creative process with these tidbits of updates.
That means the weekly update will be shorter, but there will be more behind the scene contents overall.
My concerns would be that this may become somewhat spammy, which is the reason why I don't do this on Twitter and such, where it'll show up on everyone's timeline. This is why I need your opinion:
Do you prefer to have smaller updates more frequently,
Or not be spammed and have just big updates each week?
PROPOSE CHANGE NO. 2:
Currently, the only unique reward for $10 Tier is script preview. I think I should be offering more. (If you couldn't pledge that much, keep reading, this may still affects you)
To invite you further into the creative process, I'm thinking of starting some sort of chat group (such as Discord). Whenever I'm working on an episode, I'll go online, and we can chat. I'll give us a casual platform for conversation, and having you guys to talk to will make editing less boring.
The only thing is, this Patreon community is still small. So it'll be hard to keep the Discord chat lively. So here are two questions for the $10 Tier patrons:
(1) Is Discord your preferred platform? Or are there apps preferred by our international viewers?
(2) Would you prefer to keep Discord as a tier exclusive (easier to manage)? Or would you prefer to make it available to all patrons (More lively community), and give $10 Tier patrons some special privileges?
FINALLY
I understand most, if not all of you are here purely out of goodwill, and patron reward is just a small bonus. I appreciate every bit of support.
However, for a while now, I feel like this kindness is a one way affair, and I don't feel like I offer enough interests to show my appreciation. There should be many more things I can offer that don't cost me much time. But without knowing your interests, I don't know what to offer.
So if there is something you'd like to suggest outside of these changes, please, feel free to comment down below.
And in any case, I'll see you tomorrow, when the episode is out.

As Lexica said, no stress!

I decided to support your Patreon because I like what you're already doing. Please don't worry about whether you're offering enough.

I'm really glad to be supporting you and I'm happy that you get to do the work you want to do. I'd understand it if you wanted to keep something like a group-chat more exclusive, but I would love to have an active channel to chat with other supporters (and you). Keep up the great work, I'm really looking forward to you next video!
The kindness isn't a one-way affair at all. I get a lot out of your videos, and I want to do my small bit to make it possible for you to make more — that's why I support you.
