IMPORTANT PATREON UPDATE (PLEASE READ) (Patreon)
Content
Hey all,
Today I must make an announcement that will be a drastic change in terms of this Patreon for the foreseeable future.
As of today, there will no longer be full, unedited, uncut reactions to Naruto: Shippuden here on the Patreon. I have made this decision due to a few factors:
- Ever since its creation, I was told by Patreon support that the uncut, unedited reactions were okay to go on this platform, as long as I credited the original creator.
- This has not sat well with me as I could never wrap my head around doing so. Alongside further advice from people much more knowledgeable about copyright law and fair use policy than myself, I decided that it was the best decision for the channel and myself in general to move away from uncut reactions.
What Now?: The Patreon is not going anywhere. I know that some of you are simply here to support me financially as a creator, and for that I thank you. I will be lowering the minimum cost of the Patreon to $3 a month and adding benefits ($4 or more will now be available for optional support if desired).
New Benefits: Although these are not final, a few of the benefits I would like to include in the new membership are as follows:
- NEW Anime watch-alongs in the future in which I record my reaction to a show, but include a link to it and sync it up so that you can still see my raw, uncut reaction while at the same time supporting the original platform the show is on!
- Exclusive livestreams
- Your name will STILL be at the end of videos!
- Special "Jounin" rank in Discord (with special community events there soon to come 👀)
- Early access to giveaways alongside Patreon-only giveaways
- NEW Your name will now be in the description of every video as well!
- NEW I'll follow you over on Twitter or Instagram!
- NEW Alongside these, I am more than happy to receive and talk about other possible benefits you would like to enjoy as a Patron of the channel and we can see if we can work it out! (Comment suggestions down below!)
Cancellations: If you are no longer interested in being a Patron due to losing this benefit, I totally understand. If you would like to simply unsubscribe and no longer be charged for future months, simply cancel your subscription in the "manage memberships" tab under your profile. If you need to inquire about requesting a refund for this month alone, see below.
Refunds: I am not sure of how many of you are Patrons due to the uncut reactions or just to support me as a creator in general, but I more than understand that some of you will want a refund for the rest of the month/to cancel your membership. Due to there still being one week left in the month of April, I thought that I should give any and all that do want a refund that opportunity.
If that is the case, please reach out to me via the messages system here on Patreon with the message "REFUND (Your Name)" and I will go about the process to get you your money paid for the month of April returned. Although I will not be able to refund some directly, I am willing to work out any possible way to refund your money whether that be through Paypal, etc. if necessary.
Old VOD's: All uncut reaction episodes will remain up until May 1st.
Thank you: Thank you guys for taking the time to read this update as this is a very important decision for me and the channel going forward. Again, I totally understand if this is the last I see of you on Patreon, and I thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent together talking all things Naruto! With that being said, videos should (if all things go according to plan) return on YouTube on Friday.
Best wishes,
Jack aka iShinobi
