As we stand we have 217 active patreons and that is a beautiful thing and I just wanted ask you guys, even the lurkers lol what makes you want to support?  This has crossed my mind because, there are way larger reaction channels in the reaction space that have a fraction of the Patreons. So why did you guys take the leap of faith on this channel is it, the videos themselves,  the way we do our reaction videos, I want to know so whatever is I stay true and continue doing what I'm doing!


I swear it was the responding of comments on Youtube but I want to hear from you Hoomans!

And also Happy Thanksgiving,  working on some videos today before dinner tonight!

Started with the music reactions, because honestly there’s not a lot of musical background in the rwby musical reaction crowd. I’m no musician either, but someone who is able to grasp exactly why and to what degree these songs are great is refreshing.

I love the Rwby series and the songs. The first video I watch of yours was a reaction to one of them. When I found out you were going to react to the series, I thought it would be interesting to see someone reaction who doesn’t know what’s going to happen yet. You also seem like a nice person who cares about their fan base.

It's pretty simple really. Started by watching a lot of your music reactions, which got really interesting when you started reacting to every single RWBY Song. I love how you break some if it down and explain, while also having a ton of fun with it. Became a Patron so I could watch your RWBY reactions early. That's pretty much it.

I do have a question, what does your editor think of the videos he edits? Does he likes the videos you react to?

Like most people, I found you through the RWBY music. But I was one of the first since I found your This Life Is Mine video. I love hearing about the musicianship of the music since I know Jeff is crazy good at the stuff. That particular video caught my attention because it's my #1 song for the series. Like hands down. Even with as much as I love Indomitable, that will ALWAYS be my favorite. Unless, somehow, Jeff manages to write a new Weiss song that's even better. But honestly, I stayed for your personality. You're just extremely authentic and positive about the series and the music which is something this fandom sorely lacks. Any bright spark is REALLY welcome.

Kaiki Deishu

You're just a really chill dude who's enjoyable to watch. I always look foraward to your reactions and £1 is not much a month so why not support someone who provides entertainment to me.

Andre D

I love the music reactions, but it’s also because your RWBY series reactions are very genuine and real. You speak your mind. You have fun. And you’re not afraid to get emotional.

Brad Kirkwood

saw your song reactions and loved them (also you're watching and reacting to one of my favorite series ever)

Love the RWBY related content and song reactions. Ditto all that Kiki Grey said above :)

Came for the RWBY music reactions and stayed for the personality and wholesomeness! Literally everything Kiki already said 😂

Kyra Arkenseed

Ill admit that I was initially drawn in by your RWBY reactions friend, but also because you have a love of music the same way that I love music. Your energy, your passion, your unashamed goofiness at times :) not to repeat myself from previous conversations, but; The idea of what you are successfully achieving, the concept that through music and community and shared experience with each other, we as humble hoomans, together we can become far greater to become the idea of greatness and love and joy and compassion. The idea that we will live on long past our deaths, and be forever known the best idea of what Humanity could be together

Like a lot of people I found you through RWBY, but I love listening to your commentary. It's always insightful and you bring such genuine enthusiasm with you to every recording that leaves me feeling refreshed after watching. The amazing thing about small creators like you is also the community. It's small but friendly and even though I've a tendency to lurk rather than contribute to the conversation, everybody always seems to be having a good time and supporting one another. You've carved out a lovely little place for yourself on the internet and I for one am happy to have made my home here ❤

I had seen a few of your RWBY song reacts pop up on my home page and finally checked one out and loved it! Growing up, i was involved in a bunch of music stuff and studied a lot of theory, so I really enjoy hearing you bring music theory analysis into reactions of styles of music that are often ignored in music theory circles. I also just love the energy you bring to your videos. I think I joined patreon shortly after you started releasing reactions to RWBY episodes (which I also love). I like supporting smaller creators on patreon and was happy to sign up here

Well, there's a myriad of reasons why, but in no particular order: You're expressive and connect with your watchers; your musician's PoV is nice to hear when evaluating music; your bar-of-entry for becoming a patreon is low :-); you engage with your community and keep it real; you're down to earth and easy to relate to.

Happy Thanksgiving from Canada, David! 🦃 I joined the patreon because I love the content and your insight or perspective on it, as well as on the world in general! It is very much a mixture of the things i get to experience by watching your content and the person i get to see in you when you communicate with us in and out of video. The discord is a great example of what I'm trying to say. Your passion shows through the way you talk about things, and engaging with other passionate people is a great way to boost other people's drives. I think you've created an amazing community here. And to be a part of it is phenomenal 🥰 I cant always stay perfectly up to date on your videos but I catch up at least once a week. Even if I'm not always commenting, my thoughts are with you and giving well wishes to all creators here. Enjoy your turkey day! 🦃

I love music and I love rwby :D you are a very nice person and I like your reactions! It gives me a good reason to watch the show again and I like seeing new people's reactions etc 😄

Spadeas

Personally, it's more for you. The way you are, the joy you spread, the way you react, make the videos very pleasant to follow, very entertaining. It's nicer to follow someone who reacts like you, who also knows his stuff, than someone who knows, but has no reaction and speaks monotonously. Afterwards, i'm French, English is not my native language, i'm probably missing some part in the transcription, but for me, i really appreciate the atmosphere of your videos.

The reason I support your account is because of my love for your content, also because you deserve all the support. You put so much effort in your content, and it’s super informative since I’m beginning to pursue music, so the explanations you provide in your music reactions are super informative!

Anonymous

I love watching smaller channel and watching them grow. I felt instantly the moment I saw your upbeat personality I had to support you. I love what you do and you inspired me to pursue my own dreams

Anonymous

I saw your reaction to path of isolation and how you seemed like a total music nerd ( which you are), then watched the rest of your backlog and thought "why not? This guy seems genuine.". And saw your patreon had only a couple dollars so I donated ten cause I thought would make your day like you had made mine.

Anonymous

Total instinct. You just seemed like the kind of person I could support fully, and like the kind of person I want to be friends with.

Eyla

You are genuinely the loveliest person, you have such a good energy in your videos and it's because of that I really enjoy your content. You just seem genuine and a really good dude you know?

Anonymous

There's a definite lack of people who would delve into Rwby, Persona, and Steven Universe reactions and those are just a few of the things that I've gotten excited over when scrolling through your channel

Anonymous

For me it’s the combination of the fact that you’re a talented musician (as a guitar player I appreciate) also I love your take on the songs from RWBY that got my attention 🤘

Anonymous

Your content makes me happy. It's a fun time and relaxing. Figured a buck a month for hours of entertainment was more than fair. Honestly wish I could give more.

Geneva

Something about you I just loved seeing you react to rwby videos I couldn't wait to see your next reaction so I payed to get it immediately lol impulse buy but haven't regretted it.

Anonymous

Rwby is what drew me to your channel, but your amazing personality and fun spirit are what made me subscribe to both this and your youtube channel. Keep doing what your doing man, your an awesome person Edit: btw I think you should react to the song "Rising" from RWBY

Anonymous

Regardless of your content you break it down and relate to it. I didn’t really have a choice. No other content creators really provide your unique perspectives, they just kinda blend together.

Anonymous

The first video of yours I watched was the RWBY 'This Life Is Mine' reaction, and then as you started doing more rwby reacts I subscribed on yt, and then I became a patron in part to get earlier access to your rwby series reacts. But that's just the content stuff, in general I'm just fond of your energy and vibe and also the way you talk about and deconstruct the more technical musical stuff is awesome. There are lots of reactors out there who might do similar stuff to you, but your personality and wholesome vibe just tie the ribbon on top.

Anonymous

I always like how you break down all the harmonies, melodies, rhythms, and instruments. You always find the parts that I miss when I listen to those songs (Mainly the RWBY songs). I appreciate the level of depth that you have in your analyzes' and when I go back to listen to the music, it adds more depth and new perspectives than what was there before. While there might be other reactors, no one has YOUR amazing personality and your videos are always worth the wait. Thank you for what you do!

davidthehooman

Thank You So Much sometimes I wonder about how long it takes lol, but I try my best! and thank you for your support!

davidthehooman

Thanks Emma :) now I understand what I have to keep doing again thank you for you detailed reply!

davidthehooman

This was actually why I was hesitant to produce reaction in the first place there are a metric TON of reaction channel that don't add anything to the meduim so before I embarked I wanted to try to do something different. If you look at my older videos it was me experimenting with the medium but I found a thing that make the content stick out for my taste!

davidthehooman

Well appreciate it and even though I'm not my final form as a musician it makes it more fun as I get better and better!

davidthehooman

Well thanks Kiki! And one of the things I think about is that there is sooooooo much passion for this IP (intellectual property ) that I view myself as kinda of a caretaker in other words, the passion you guys give me I aim to give it back. Add commentary and interesting perspectives to further discussions etc.

davidthehooman

Thanks Andre! I appreciate it and also your right if anyone see this watch my smile reaction it got to real. Thanks for giving me your opinion!

davidthehooman

That was the most beautiful collection of words ever. And to be honest you see what it is really about is not just the reaction but Music and Community. I feel like at humanities deepest level we are all try to connect, and if we can all get together and try to be the best we can be we can accomplish amazing things together! You see my master plan MAUAHUAHAAHUAHA 😂😂

davidthehooman

No Worries and trust me I have lurker tendencies sometimes! And yeah that was the point to try to create genuine community through discord and by other means! Thank you for all your kind words and I appreciate your input!

Glitchy-Witchy

I saw your reaction to This life is mine from RWBY and i just loved your energy, most reaction channels are a bit too much... A lot of those channels feels the need to talk every two seconds and not really watching what they are supposed to watch(at least that's what i feel like they're doing all the time) and it's just getting on my nerves... You and Murderofbirds are the only two that i actually enjoy watching, and i decided to contribute to both your patreon because i feel like you deserve it :) Also, you're amazing and never change!!

Arrowgorn

It's your vibe and your energy that you bring to everything. Not to mention the way you break down as you react to things. I kinda learn a lot when I watch reaction videos from people who actually know what they are talking about so it's always incredibly interesting when it's done. Not to mention there are techniques and things that because I'm not a musician I don't know are harder to pull off or show case a lot of dedication so when people like you break it down for me. Well it helps me to truly appreciate the hard work behind it even more.

davidthehooman

, i was involved in a bunch of music stuff and studied a lot of theory, so I really enjoy hearing you bring music theory analysis into reactions of styles of music that are often ignored in music theory circles. Yeah I wanted to begin to learn for myself what makes records tick and how I can better create great records. I feel off for a while but this keep me thinking for sure! Also thanks the support does matter!

davidthehooman

Thank You So Much man, I know a lot of people are struggling so there is no need to get excessive with the first tier and say WANT EXCLUSIVES PAY A JILLION DOLLARS like that issa no

davidthehooman

Wonderfully and adeptly said. Thank you so much I see you as a fellow creator as we both are doing what we love to do! And this path isn't easy and I know that there are a lot of sleepless night and some anxiety that goes with it, (as I'm sure you have probably felt before too) but it means alot hearing that from someone else that creates! And the community thing was basically my attempt to make a reaction videos channels more than that but a shot of actually improving peoples love in a fundamental way. And that to me is kinda the driving factor. It is always a joy to see you in the chat and contributing with your work and energy Have a wonderful day my neighbor to the north! :)

davidthehooman

And thats enough by no means am I perfect but I keep aiming for perfection and I think that is what keeps me going!

davidthehooman

Thank SO MUCH Spadeas! I couldn't do with you and everyone else here! And my goal is to make peoples day when they come and watch a video of mine and I glad I did!

RWBY (This Life Is Mine -- An Opera in a Song) is how I found you. I decided to support because you seem to have real, immediate reactions and an understanding music/instruments far better than I do. I have listened to plenty of the songs many times, but cannot identify which instrument does what and so on. Also, the other RWBY music reactions I've seen on YTube go album by album (i.e. LONG videos) and the song-by-song model you do works a lot better for me. Doesn't hurt that there is more than RWBY too - I was unaware that original music was even a part of the Tangled Series before seeing you react to it. Have not made it through your back catalog yet, but I'm getting there in time. Last big thing -you are very positive; you do not seem to focus on anything that is 'bad' about a song. Plenty of reactors go very critical or negative and I'm not about that for music or anything else really (I'm thinking about Cinema Sins in particular, but there are plenty of others).

Hi! I am a bit late, but I just wanted to say that I was drawn to your ambition. It reminds me a lot of myself and of my boyfriend who has a passion for music and youtube. He is afraid of putting himself out there, and I was amazed to see you actually doing so! I wanted to support someone with such a dream, and I found your content very wholesome and fun to watch.

tbh I think I only discovered you because I REALLLLLY procrastinated on watching rwby vol 7. I usually watch the first episode or so of a new volume and then wait until the season is done, say i'll watch it over the summer, don't get to watching it over the summer, and watch it in late august/early september.But this time I waited until early/mid october, when there were only weeks left until the new volume. So after I saw volume 7 I downloaded the soundtrack and then went down a caleb hyles rabbit hole. That rabbit hole led me to your this life is mine reaction. And then I got hooked because even though I usually dont like reaction videos (esp rwby reaction videos) I like it when experts analyze things. Your analysis is good, you have a really good vibe, and you post often. What surprised me the most was that you replied to my comments. I have never seen a youtube engage that much before this. Actually another of my favorite youtubers , lindsay ellis, kinda shows a wary disdain of communicating with fans and directly says she doesn't read the comments (once I tried to attend live QA session with her but then found out that it wasnt really live because all questions had to be submitted beforehand). Its really cool to be into a youtuber while they are still relatively small on the platform and making their way. I enjoy seeing you wrack up patreons and hopefully later I'll see you get sponsors and stuff. (at one point you joked about being in rwby vol 11 but that seriously could happen if your growth continues on this trajectory. I've seen relatively small fan channels that have managed to get interviews with jeff williams). tldr: I only discovered you because I hella procrastinated on watching rwby vol 7. If I had watched it before your first rwby react I don't know if I would have found your channel.

davidthehooman

First off, the amount of randomness that led you to the channel is insane. it's kind of like the butterfly effect thing if you weren't watching the Caleb Hale's videos, and it wasn't suggested at that exact right time and all those things had to work 😂 Also, for me the idea of community is super important! I noticed that same lack of engagement with other YouTubers as well and granted people still love them anyway but I feel that when you make an extra effort it matters to people. I will never forget when I wanted my first Disney Cruise with my family. and I remember when I got into the cruise ship. There was a man in a white button-down shirt and he introduced every single family on the ship including mine. That level of care that the Walt Disney company had to make sure my experience in my family's experience was spectacular the moment they walked on board was kind of what I was trying to capture but with YouTube 😂 As for the expertise, I'm always learning. I still have a long way to go but all the love and support really made me want to keep pushing on and now I practice about 3 hours a day on music 😂 so thanks for that!

davidthehooman

Sara first off thank you for taking the time to comment. I'm ambitious this is true and but the goal is to obviously build a legacy for myself in some meaningful way but also have people's lives change for the better because they met you is something that I'm really interested in too. which is why the discord community is about self-development and honing your skills with your creativity. in regards to your boyfriend I get it, it is weird to put yourself out there and you will stumble and fall. But this video was a spark that lit a flame under me. Send it to him watch it yourself it's a great little clip https://youtu.be/doqS35FfcUE

davidthehooman

To be honest, way back in my catalog I used to be negative period but then I remembered how hard it is to actually create something and then put it out there and then have it judged by so many people. And you don't have to completely disparage a work you can simply find the little things that you like that work for you

Anonymous

Hey Hooman! I've watched a lot of people react to RWBY and simply enjoy yours the best. The level of energy and emotion and passion you bring is just perfect and I like how you'll break down some moments and draw parallels to real life and I can't wait to watch the rest of the show with you! I know the copyright stuff is going to be be a pain, just bear with it I promise it will be worth it. I'll make a proper request later, but I highly recommend reacting to almost everything League of Legends has done. They do a lot of music videos/cinematics and don't claim any of them. Thank you for the work you do David!

You're just such a pleasant person and you radiate positivity. You're one of the only channels where I am eager to see their next video just because of how happy it makes me. Keep doing what you're doing!

Ilurvekittens

So, I’m late to the post but I do have a reason that I subbed to the patreon. If o can help anyone achieve their career/life goals with a dollar a month I 100% will. You are super creative and positive and I love that you are reaching for the sky!

davidthehooman

Awe thanks ilurvekittens I want to be someone I can be proud of. I guess it reminds me of some of the people I look up to they represented something and I want to do the same!
