Post "Quick question for ya" by "thoughtslime" from patreon

Kay Kelly

I just had a thought about Superman, only partially related. Since the baddies in the current Superman film intend to commit genocide to steal a country and for other nefarious reasons, with the help of evil billionaire, Lex Luther and some powerful PR in the mainstream media, the Israeli lobby has complained that the film is antisemitic. This is not a new idea, as there is a news clip circulating from 1924 about objections to the stories in Superman comics then. But perhaps it works on two levels. What if we instead imagine Superman as a Jewish Israeli along with his biological parents. Who are the Palestinians then? Excellent film, btw, and he has the pants.

Dennis McCorry

Idc when the vids come out I just wanna throw money at you

darkregn

Get it out!!!

orestes

So, originally I said just put it out there, I don't want anything but I have changed my mind. You should 100% still publish whenever you're comfortable doing so, but I would now like to make a request. I would love to see another unproductive dunking on libertarians video. 1) after making a video on such a deep, weighty issue I'm sure you could use a nice low-stakes video and 2) it's been a kinda shitty year, and sure dunking on libertarians isn't *important*, it is a lot of fun. And I think both we and you deserve some fun. Some light, fluffy, candy fun.

Maarva And Or

Yeah. What they said. Say what you gotta say. Especially when you need to talk about genocide.

Psi

Get that content out there!

Anarch Ion

I give less than a shit about early access. I support the people I support on patreon because I want to support them. Not for "perks" and whatnot.

Taitaiheart

Share and share alike!

sirseansy

Yeah, put it out. The perks are nice, but if you have a legitimate reason for ignoring them, just do it.

Thought Slime

This I like.

Cow

Just get it out there!

John McCarrick

Hey man, I'm not the one that put themself on the hook to entertain people for a living so I probably just don't really get it. However from my perspective I think you're overthinking it, your patreon club isn't a capitalist board to answer to. We're all here to support you and what you're trying to do here. For my two cents, I think you're right about Gaza being important enough to eschew the regular agreement. Looking forward to seeing what you have to say on the matter.

Fox Icon

That topic moves too fast to delay a release.

Cosmodious

I can't speak for everyone but personally I still just watch your videos when they come out on YouTube. I'm just here to support your work.

Connor McCarty

I personally don't really care about the perks, just here to support you. Go ahead and post it

RefinedUrsine

I say drop it early. It's time sensitive and I think most of us are here to support you more than for perks.

Mike Craft

Staggered release schedules don't really matter to me. I contribute to support your ability to make things, not to get special treatment.

boopidoop

dont mind either way, id watch it multiple times anyway!

Ville Uusivuori

Time sensitive issues are time sensitive and this issue is one that needs to catch as many eyeballs as soon as possible.

Ronan da Rosa

I'm not even here for the benefits. I'm here to support you

Ken

Yes, put our, I would say eyeball zone could be on the tik tok project of helping families get out of that situation

Kris N.

I agree with everyones points here. Also: I just love to watch your videos as soon as possible, so I'm totally fine with non-patrons watching them at the same time!

Gnomee

Definitely put it out. I’m agreeing with everyone else that we’re here to support your work and that also means we wouldn’t want to limit its impact by delaying time-sensitive parts of it If you still worry about us Patreons after reading this in 200 comments, and want to do something to balance the missing early video, you could always do some small behind the scenes or blooper reel. Or an extended version with parts that you decided to cut. Or a commentary on the decisions you made while editing. There’s many other bonus content options :)

Lily Berry

We're here because we want to support your work

Duress Wintermute

let the world know what must be said! +1 on the "i'm just here to give you money bc i like you" tally <3

Ipdar teldar

If it's important to be respond timely, especially for a bigger impact, then you should put it out there.

Nate Geoffrion

Put it out friend, we give you money because we want you to have money.

Emily Rose Cole

I subscribe to pay you for your labor. I don't need to benefit from it in any other way than being able to more ethically consume your cool and sick art, whenever you want to release it. I care not for patreon benefits, only for your livelihood and I suspect that is the situation of many of your other subscribers, too.

John Howland

I trust your judgement

Jack Fractal

Yeah, I'm with the others. Release the video when you think it's appropriate.

Richard Jackson

I don't subscribe to get the video early; I subscribe to support you. Release the video as you please.

shmaladz

I’m totally fine with this getting released to the whole wide world. If you feel the need to give bonus content to your patreons, maybe … idk, share your favourite recipe or something?

レイ

Early release sounds good to me, too! I'm here to get things Early, but that's not contingent on when YT gets it. If we all get it early, it's still technically early for me. Hehe! If I may, though, I'm hoping for a sort of spiritual successor to Cringe Corner (that will also be available to all). I do understand why you cut ties with the previous co-host, so I understand if it will need a different name and partner. I just hope for more of that style a' content! 😅

Bobby Ross

Totally good with it going out to everyone!

Graham Bass

Just release it to everyone, I promise you none of us are gonna feel "stiffed" by it

AlephGarden

Release it for everyone.

Jan Anders Bremer

Release to everyone.

William Holmes

Release it to everyone if you want to!! It’s your hard work, and labor is entitled to all it creates.

GC

agree, both for myself and on apparent consensus--when it's ready get it out there. Too serious a situation not to. if it troubles your Patreon conscience (and it shouldn't!) you can give us a hilarious takedown of some manosphere nincompoop TWO weeks early to redress the balance

Jillian

It's kinda neat that you decided to check in with the community. The consensus is pretty clear, I think, that you can do what you want, we don't feel like you owe us early viewing on every video.

Jillian

That's pretty funny.

Ro the Lion

Ditto!

Paul Green

For me? Don't need an early release.

Daniel

Set the video free. We'll see it just as soon either way, so no worries

Aris Behren

Seconding this sentiment!

Tom Taylor

Speaking only for myself, I patronize so you can do what you do. I don't see it as transactional. And while patreon bonuses like early release are cool, they are not necessary. Do art your way.

Jenny Gamage

No worries, give it to everyone

Kelby Ludwig

I wouldn’t feel stiffed in the slightest!

Brant

NO!!! release it to everyone at the same time but gaslight us later about getting it earlier than YouTube.

Cancer

Overthinking :)

Aoife DS

My general vibe is - just drop it to everyone when you're ready I would say though, if you wanted to do an earlier release here, just to get a quick poll with a friendlier, more receptive crowd / get a bunch of eyes on it as a spot check for any miscommunications etc. before shipping it out there - would very much understand that x

Eli

I do not care, just want you to keep making the good stuff

Cherie Nouwens

It needs to be seen by everyone. As other people are saying, I support you for your amazing work, not because I want to have exclusive access.

Tino Galizio

Drop the video for all when ready. My patronage is not contingent on early access.

Eric Sylvia

I agree with others -- appreciate the sentiment, but this is a fast moving situation. Drop the video as soon as it's ready.

Ritchy Ingpiece

I say post it. Vital subject and events are moving so fast any video is in danger of being overtaken by the latest horrific war crime or ground invasion.

what what

appreciate you asking, but imo anyone willing to give you money for your videos will understand that communicating abt an ongoing genocide is more important than a patreon perk

Medenmath

Definitely just to release it to the public, if that's how you feel. I can only speak for myself of course, but I certainly won't feel like I'm losing out on anything.

steffi hex

Simultaneous release. Staying on topic with what's happening in Gaza is way more important than a Patreon perk.

AxShinsei

Drop it for all to see, my patronage is contingent upon nothing, certainly unrelated to early release perks.

Willow Davison

Dropping it immediately is cool.

Ben Burns

I really only patreon creators because I want to support them, not because I want to be part of an exclusive early access club.

Josh B

Drop it like it's hot

Melinda

It’s ok! Simultaneous release!

Tyler

I agree with a simultaneous release!

David Wilhelm

Post it. Don't hold back. Appreciate the thought of how patrons might feel, but we're not facing state violence. Well, most of us aren't. I assume. I'm not. Can't speak for everyone though.

Björn Lammers

The Gaza situation is too important to have this kind of pickle stuff over. Just do what you want, I'll capitalize you any which way. I do this because I think your videos are important, not to get perks.

Sinn Sage

in my opinion, you're overthinking. i honestly don't even take advantage of the early viewing because it's not that important to me, i watch it when it comes out and i have the time to. if anyone who subscribes specifically to you is upset about that, they really don't have their head on right. just release it and get the word out - while you still can!

Elizabeth Gonzalez

Do what feels right!

Deryn L.

Drop it now, however little it may help current matters that little bit can make all the difference. Plus Patreon's app sucks and I barely get release notifs anyway :P

Wright Johnson

release that shit!

Joanna the Wrench Witch

Release it! I won't feel stiffed as all.

trailsofhoffman

I second this motion ...

Clare Boothby

I'm here to give you money so you can keep doing the things you're doing, I don't at all mind if others get to see the videos at the same time.

Shmoog

I don't care about exclusivity periods for any video, from any creator. Release it when it's done imo!

Christian Huffman

For sure, release it whenever you want

fohfuu

You know it!

Matthew Griffing

Release it when you're ready.

kev25811

If it's a silly video, it's nice to be first. If it's about something timely or super important, give it to everyone. I'd bet 99% of your patrons just want to support your work and don't actually care about the early vid access.

Ron

I’m very good with it being released for everyone at once!

Unintendo

Get it out to the world. I back you cuz you make awesome stuff that I think adds to the general sea level of global awesome, so exclusives mean nothing to me.

Dragon Cobolt

I say release it for all! I'm here to support ya, not get the greeblies!

Yaron Davidson

I generally don't care about early access in general (esp. considering it usually doesn't mean getting access early, but just intentionally delaying for everyone else), so of course am fine also in this particular case. But, even if it did matter, your videos are generally not particularly time sensitive, and this one is sort of very different on that account. So I think I'd be perfectly fine on this even if I did care in general. One potential downside to consider, while I suppose the overwhelmingly majority of people will be fine, it's probably more likely that people who will comment here will be those who are fine with it, and not ones who really aren't (more so if anyone looks at the existing comments and will see how contrary they'll appear and expect to be harshly judged for asking for stuff they're technically deserving to receive). So the votes/comments will be skewed over the (I again assume very few) people who may object... That said, well, since I do believe anyone who will object is wrong and a bit of a dick, personally I'm not that opposed to slightly stiffing them, you know? But YMMV.

Andrew Wallace

Release it for everyone!

Big Steve P

Don't need the perquisite, just here to support

Playologist

Post it whenever feels right for you, it won’t upset me any. I think I’d feel weird about having exclusive access to this one, though, especially since so much about the situation is urgent and changes quickly

Casual Cheese

Can't stop the signal. Release it to everyone!

dapperdave

I support you because of the content you create, not to get it early. I say release it at the same time! (and I'd be fine if you made that a general change as well)

Betsy Nelson

I like the early videos because I'm impatient, not because I need the special access perk. Please feel free to post broadly for this (and frankly any videos), but especially in the face of something so crucial and immediate.

KJR

Yup, just here to support an awesome creator (and person), not to get early videos.

kher koos

Idk about everyone else but I'm mostly here just to support the channel, not for the bonus content or early access or whatever. Post that shit!

Omid Moghimi

I don't care. I say release it to everyone at the same time.

ShrubDryad

This comments section warms my heart.

Fulll Mental Jacket

I support you because you do quality work, not for any perks. Release it for everyone.

theskullcollector

Everyone else has already said it, but yeah, go for it. I don't give you my dollarbucks for extra special anything -- I just want to be able to support you and your stuff.

Grieve

Yeah, here to support not be in an elite group of special early watchers, get it out there!

Emily Armstrong

I really don't support you here for any extra perks, it's to help finance your continued YouTube career. Go ahead and release the video to everyone at once.

Jessica Cheeri

I'm for general release once it's finished as well

Fluffy the Demon, Destroyer of Worlds

I support you because I want to support your content. I don't care about extras. Release it to everyone.

Egg Tats

ain't no reason to hold this one back in my mind. I'm a vote for just post

CAT1NTH3HAT

Definitely post it for everyone.

LeondeBowa

Release it once it's done, the truth needs to be seen

Edward Brophy

Go for it dude, let everyone see it. Your polite consideration in even asking us is worth the price 👍

Aven

Please post it for everyone! My big fat dollar is here so the videos happen at all, not so I can watch them early.

RiotingPacifist

Please stiff me. Give the unwashed masses their content

OneHappyChipmunk

Give it to everyone, if you wanna like, make it up to patrons you could maybe donate some portion of the Patreon money to a charity related to this cause

dysgregulated

I already know I'm loved, get the message out!!

Tyler

Appreciate you thinking about us and the commitment made. Personally, early access isn't a reason I sub to any conte t creator, nice perk but wouldn't care if it wasn't included. Given the sensitivity and importance of the topic, I'd say release it to everyone at the same time.

Alan Wiggs

The greatest patron reward I can think of is you being free to make the videos you want, how you like, and on your schedule. I'm not your customer, the channel is not your product. I'm glad you're being thoughtful on an important topic.

Benjamin S.

Full send, give it to everyone

Thomas Jahnke

I get to watch early? Didn't know. Don't care.

Cy Parker

Do it like a podcast and make a big deal about how this is unlocked emergency content

PortentousLad

Don't worry about it.

Jim Harrington

Let her rip, babe. Early vids are a cool bonus but my fav part of Patreon is the part where you get money.

Leann

Just release it. No worries

Bailey Grevling

I never feel slighted when things go out publicly rather than me getting them first tbh. I'm just here to support you and your work

Edward Landis

Just release it. I never watch them early anyway.

Tani

Give it to everyone

ramenbrownie

Give it to everyone. As a Patron, I’d like for you to focus on your own health first, and if it feels right to do it early for everyone, please do so.

Alice

Go ahead and post it publicly!

Jean-Philippe Thériault

Release it asap IMO

TaraFixIt

There is absolutely nothing wrong with releasing it early this is a very important topic that should hit as many people as possible as fast as possible. As for us put an extra thank you at the end of the video and I will feel all kinds of special.

Keelia Silvis

Post publicly first.

Wingding

If anything I'd be even happier as a patron if the video went out as soon as it was ready to post.

LC

Release it, no prob man.

Logan Sullivan

I wait to watch videos on YouTube anyway to appease _the algorithm_

papersamurai00

I'd say if it's ready then just go for it. If your gut says "This should be said broadly and NOW" then trust your gut. You're a compassionate sort, and I'd like to think you're audience is similar and would be cool with that instinct.

Tanya Martin-McClellan

Release it to everyone! Waiting feels really bad and the message needs to get out.

Eric A Gentzler

No offense, but yeah, i think you're over thinking it. A lot of us just want to support ya! Early release is nice most of the time but I trust your judgment on it. I agree, don't hold it back just for patrons if you don't think you should.

AnComSciComm

Post for everyone when it's done. Posting silly vids here early as a perk is fine, but if it's a serious issue of urgent concern, then gatekeeping that here would be the greater harm, IMO

Andrew Hubbard

Given the subject, releasing for everyone at the same time makes the most sense. Having the videos a week early is great and everything, but you're not stiffing us by any means. As to your question about doing something to make it up to us, don't worry about it. I back you cause I want to see your content in the world, everything else is a bonus. That's just my opinion.

Ethan Casper

I'm with everyone else here! Anytime a video is urgent like this, I 100% support you releasing it for everyone at the same time. I won't feel stiffed. I'm not here for early access, I'm here because I love and support the work that you do!

Cat of Many Faces

yup, release it :)

Kristopher Skelton

Release it. I'm a patron to help you afford to do these videos, I'm not super concerned about early access

Hoovielou

Nah friend, let 'er rip. It's important!

Johnny Millar

Post it to YouTube. We wanna support you, don't care about early access

Euphemia Wilson

Yeah post it ASAP!

JS604

Post it my friend

David James Brown

Yea just release it when you feel it's ready. I wouldn't feel stiffed.

nekoatsumehouse

I think you should release it when its done for all. (1) because its about a genocide, and (2) because its ongoing, news changes a lot in a week. you might be stuck wanting to add/change things if you wait a week before public release

Mulloy

I respect early access is a treat i value but I'm not here for those treats. Release when it works for you. Idk do a set photo in penance if you wanna swap perks

Percy

I don't care about early access. Tbh, I usually realize you dropped a new one when youtube tells me about it. I just support you to support you. Perk don't really matter to me

Abbie Kennedy

Just adding to what’s already been said, absolutely please do release asap.

Girassol

We don't subscribe to your Patreon for any particular advantage over non-patrons. We do it in the hopes that it contributes in some way to supporting you materially while you continue to produce your stuff. Absolutely go ahead and release the video whenever to whomever. That's our vote. ✌🏻

Arthur Talis

I'm with the others. I sub because I think you deserve it, but I watch everything when it publically releases

J

For the people!

Harley Miller

Honestly I just wait to watch until it’s open for everyone when you post videos. I just donate because I value your content.

Mike Kreckel

Release it as soon as it is ready. I don't care about getting videos early. I just love being able to help support my favorite creators!

brandon

I'm watching either way, release away!

Prestidigititis

The consensus seems to be pretty obvious by this point, and it's one I agree with. Go ahead and get that video out there.

AcerM

Release it publicly.

Fiducial

Definitely post it as soon as it is finished. It's an important topic and most of us are here to support you regardless of perks and all that.

Dustin Morrill

I'm happy if you post it publicly as soon as it's finished. That goes for all videos. I want to see it as soon as its finished and I'm happy if everyone also gets to see it then.

spiralingout

Release what feels right, if it’s timely it’s fine. If anyone gets pissy about “perks” over the non Bobby Dukey stuff that won’t be a broad concern.

Motorsheep

The more noise people make about Gaza the better... I don't think anyone would feel "stiffed" about this.

cerehling

Release it for everyone 🙏

ACABadabra

Jumping on the bandwagon here: release it publicly. I would support you on here whether or not I got early-release videos. ❤️

PandAcab

I'm here to support your work, not for the perks, an even if I was... Releasing asap is the right move imo.

Maeve Hightower

Yeah, fuck it, give it to everyone. Israel's marching down Germany's road and we need to talk about it.

Andrew Knapik

Joining the chorus to say: Please go ahead and post this, or any other video, when it's ready. Getting access before other people is not important to me.

Thomas Deja

I support you because I value the work you do not because you let me see that work early. If you want this video to go public right now, I trust you enough to know there's a reason for it.

Kevin OReilly

I’m just here to support, I see a new TS video up and I don’t care if it’s ‘early’ or not

Ray Cantwell

100% on board with releasing it to the public at the same time as the patrons. No need to stress about it.

Mal Radagast

yeah i'm also not here to *buy* early access or any other perks from you. hell you don't even have to release videos; i'll keep supporting for as long as i am financially able to. just cause i think you should exist.

Kevoguy

Even though I've been a Patron for years, I've never actually taken advantage of the early access videos lol. I just watch em when they show up on my YouTube feed. I'm a Patron because I support you and your message, not for the early access. Go ahead and release the video!

Matthew Martin

I personally would be 100% ok with it being released whenever you have it. I understand the concern for both options of this, but I don't pay for early content, I pay to support content creators. Thanks for the heads up

Love, In The Form Of Money

I have zero entitlement, I just give you money because I love your work!

Kaleb Galvin

Release it as soon as you can, early access has never been particularly important to me.

Reggie Johnson

Let everyone have it. I sub on Patreon to support you, not because I get the videos early.

Joe McClory

Here to help stuff get made for all, don't keep it to us for any amount of time I my account

Morgan

I agree with the other commenters: I think you should release this one too everyone as soon as it's ready.

Eli Huven

Nah, go ahead and release it to everyone. Topics like this shouldn't be restricted.

Connor Patrick Griffin

Appreciate the thought, but with this audience member the moral thing outweighs the cost-benefit thing. Go for it.

Forest Joy and Shahar Shrek

Release it when it's ready. I feel like it's more important than how cool and sick we are

Kai G

Release it into the wild, I say.

binnska

I want all eyes on the situation in Gaza. I'm happy to see it at the same time as everyone else.

Eric Phillips

Please post it publicly. I'm happy with you doing what you think is right in general Oh, and I don't really think about the benefits. I support you just because I think you do good work. I don't need any personal benefits

Gem Newman

Don't worry about it! Release it to everyone!

Ian Kirven

Yeah def release for the world when it's ready. No need to treat us special on this one

Drew Messinger-Michaels & L. Villegas

I definitely would *not* feel stiffed if this one (or any other one on a really timely topic) got released to the public as soon as it was ready.

Samwise

Absolutely no need to hold it back for our benefit. I for one, don't support you here because of early content, I support you because I think you're good at what you do, and want to see more of it out there.

Tuur Verheyde

I’d say post it publicly. No need to make this early for patrons.

MJ Crom

I support Patreons because I want the creators to be able to create the content I like while surviving under capitalism. The perks are generally pretty irrelevant to me. I think releasing a time-sensitive video to everyone at the same time makes sense!

Quattro

I can only mirror everyone else, I think most of us support you because we want to, not because of the perks. And with a topic like this it’s especially important to get it out to more people faster.

Tido Klaassen

I don't care about early access at all, so go ahead.

Nick Abigail

Put it out as soon as it's ready, as far as I'm concerned. I don't have any objections to it getting as large an audience as possible asap.

RobotQueen

I personally wouldn't care if I didn't get a single one of your videos early. Don't support you here for perks, I support because I want the videos made at all. Follow your heart, Mildew.

childish_goblino

I'd say release it to everybody, we get all the other videos early anyway

Alex Sinicropi

Release it to the world when it's done. I can't imagine most of us are going anywhere for that. Thanks for thinking of us though!

Melody Haren Anderson

I'm here more to support, and in this case, I think your first instinct is correct. Trying to spread time sensitive info is more important than "value" for us in this case.

Joel Raphael

Post it as soon as you can. You're doing good in the world.

Forever Bulking

This one in particular, I’m perfectly happy sharing early access rights with everyone else. It feels like the right thing to do. Though a good way to have it both ways would be to have a “thank you to my patrons on Patreon for agreeing this should go out early to everyone. If you want early access to all my not-critically-urgent-and-super-time-sensitive videos, come on over to Patreon dot com! We have slimes! We have thoughts! We have rewards! We have keeping my lights on! It’s a good time and you should join us!” Or something along those lines.

Trowel

I subbed because I wanted to give you money

Carl Olson

echoing other thoughts here: do eeeet.

Nicola Quantock

Yeah release it. Getting vids early is nice but not super important.

Michael Notkin

I enjoy getting early access, but I more support you for it's own sake. It makes complete sense to me to release time sensitive material ASAP to get the message out there.

Nicholas Chase

Release it, we're an understanding bunch of weirdos

eric larson

I say let ‘er rip! I just want my slime, and I don’t care who else gets gooped.

Natalie Smyk

Post the video ASAP, Mildred. I can't imagine anyone who is on your patreon would begrudge you that, especially given your reasoning.

Chempathetic Fallacy

Definitely release it to the world. We love what you do, don't hold it back for our sake!

Poli-Sci Wonk

We support you cuz you're rad. Release it when it's ready and don't worry about us

Chace Bones

I'd definitely prefer everyone see it as soon as possible rather than getting to feel like the special birthday boy

Jeff Satterley

Release it as soon as you're comfortable with it going out. Early Access is nice for less urgent stuff, but getting valuable info out to everyone outweighs it easily.

Byrrn It Down

+ 1 to the general consensus, go ahead and release publically whenever it’s ready!

Boss Fascist Smasha

I think it makes sense to drop a time sensitive video while it still matters. I speak for myself when I say that I am here to support your work. Not for any reward or whatnot.

a can of beef

In the immortal words of Adele Dazeem: let it gooooooo

James Rule

Considering the circumstances involved I'm more than ok with not getting this one early.

The Hidden Chest

I wouldn’t feel stiffed, I have a hunch most people here give you money solely because they like you and your work. Any perks are just a bonus that’s nice to have, but not really why I’m here.

Joseph Felber

Release to everyone ASAP! I can’t speak for everyone, but I’m a Patreon to support your work and the spread of your ideas first and foremost

Jeffrey Comstock

I don't pay for early access. I pay to support your work. No need to hold back.

Nathan Watt

Send it out broadly as soon as you are satisfied. This is important and time sensitive.

orestes

I don't care about getting videos early in general, but especially not this one.

Nyxi the Nax

I think it's a good plan to release it all at once, I agree with your reasoning on this one. It's information that people should have *now*. I would like a pizza party please 😂

Forgottenhelm1

Please release it. I could careless as to the "value" of what my dollar is to me as opposed to its value to those losing their lives in Gaza. Thank you for everything you do
