Announcing Patreon Changes! (Patreon)
Content
Hey everyone, we have some really exciting news! After a lot of thought and hard work, we’re ready to reveal our super secret plans we’ve been cooking up for the last few months. We’re revamping our Patreon on Feb 12!
As you know, for the last year, we’ve had two Patreons: Extra History and Extra Mythology. While the support across each of them has been fantastic, it has also divided our attention on Patreon. Plus, there wasn’t a good place to share bonus content for fans of the Extra Credits series. So in that spirit, we’ve decided to end the Extra Mythology specific patreon and expand the Extra History patreon to be channel wide instead of focusing on just a single show. This will allow us to streamline our tiers and offer bigger and better rewards for all of you to enjoy.
How does this change affect you?
It actually doesn’t affect you at all... if you don't want it to! If you are happy with your current tier, you can stay there indefinitely, and your perks will not change. Those rewards aren’t going anywhere. While we will be unlisting the current tiers on the 12th, you are grandfathered in and your current rewards level will continue. Actually depending on your current tier, you’ll probably be gettin even more!
Fantastic New Perks Like...
Brand New Patron Discord! - We’ve heard this request for quite a while now and we’re really excited to give you all a space to chat about the shows, enjoy each other’s company, and have a space where we can hang out with you as well.
Hi-Res Wallpapers - Our artists always kill it each episode with amazing and hilarious art, so we’re going to be sharing a frame from each episode as a 4k wallpaper you can use to decorate your screens.
End-of-Show Credits Overhaul - More of you deserve credit for keeping this channel going! We’re lowering the inclusion of your name in the show end credits from the previous $50 tier to our new $20 tier. But for the beautiful patrons at $50, we have something exciting and new for you! We’re going to place a photo of you in our Bean-o-matic-5000 and you’ll get a nifty Extra Credits style version of your face to go with your name at the end of the show.
