Hey Patrons,

We start another year of Patron shows with an update on what we're filming and publishing in January & February, the story of what happened when I went to film last month (spoilers; it wasn't awesome), our trip to LA next week, the effect of turning on some ads, why we now have thousands of video game tapes in our possession and what we plan to do with them.

3:09 - Projects in Production
6:45 - Dwarf Fortress Filming (I got Covid)
18:20 - Ads & Finances
22:05 - Building Culture
26:55 - The Tapes...

Thanks for checking in on us! Now you're here please let us know what you'd like to see more of in 2023. Your feedback is always helpful.

Damn, good on you to take all those tapes! Monumental task to digitize them but I think it'll be worth it.

I believe I'm out of the loop here, but what would be the reason not to turn on monetisation for all content on the noclip channels? I think the average youtube consumer has a positive understanding that the ads they get served help the creators they watch. I believe people are more supportive of monetisation now and are happy creators are paid for their work.

Can't wait to get a glimpse at what's on those tapes. Best Christmas ever!

Yea no worries - so when we originally started Noclip (and for the first 5+ years) we talked about not having ads as a big part of the pitch. Basically to insulate us from the need to get clickbaity etc. I think over the past 5 years we've realized we're not really playing that game and as the video library continues to accrue views we're leaving some money on the table. So that's the reason I'm going into detail on it.

Mass Effect! :D I'm so in for that one!

What happened in Vegas stays in Vegas (until the tape is digitised).

I have YouTube Premium cause I hate adds! 😅 If you let us know on which docs you turn on adds I can give those a rewatch! 😉

The tapes sound awesome btw! Great resource for Greatest Hits perhaps as well?

Awesome! Wonderful news all around. Glad you are doing what you love to do.

I'm really happy with the noclip crew finding and trusting their own voice in covering the games industry and its games. But of course I'm wondering how this changes the idea and work relationship of the "Patreon Production Team"; voting for the greatest hits was something that acctually took place and worked out quite well. This does not mean I'm against these changes, but maybe we find another type of creative contribution - putting all that swarm intelligence to use. PS Saving the tapes is so awesome! I'm very glad being part of your preservation efforts. It's destiny!

Matt Nelson

Can't wait to see what you do with the tapes :)

That preservation work is amazing! Good thing you moved to the US :D
