Update (Patreon)

June 13th Update - I received and update email from my Vimeo rep this morning, this was a part of it

“Also, I spoke with our Solutions Team and it appears that we are no longer offering the Legacy plans as of a few weeks ago - I was not made aware of this update so I apologize for any inconvenience.”

🤦🏻‍♂️ I’m just baffled at this point, I have so many thoughts about how they run things there, but I have to be careful, as I signed something similar to a NDA. I actually had to revise and edit the original Update, as I ended up sharing too much info in my excitement, stuff I wasn’t supposed to disclose.

So she asked me to give her a few days to get back to me with another alternative customized solution, but I am most likely going to just end up buying one of the expensive plans again if there’s nothing concrete by the weekend, I simply cannot let this drag on much longer. Regardless of the price, I will still have the Patreon interaragtion bandwidth exemption.

June 8th Update - I was able to get a specific date out of them, I have been assured that my account should be up and running at some point on Tuesday, June 13th. The backlog will be available immediately, but I will need a couple of hours to upload and set up the the 14 vids (early access + full length)

Hello everyone, I am finally able to provide an update on this situation, as there is now clarity on the situation and a long term solution, rather than a short term fix.

Ultimately, something very good came out of this situation.

After some frustrating weeks of back and forth, which included a lot of requests for updates from my end, the process eventually got to point where they realized that I actually qualify for their Patreon/Vimeo integration bandwidth exemption, as I exclusively use vimeo through Patreon. So this will not be an issue anymore in the future.

I've been told that they will be switching me to something they refer to as a Legacy plan, with the Patreon bandwidth exemption, I was given the first week of June as the time frame for this to be implemented. Which means that I will once again pause the charge cycle, so all current Patrons can stay on and have access to the seven videos in Early June, and then come back in full flow on July 1st. To remain an active Patron, please make sure to not delete your current pledge, otherwise you will not have access in June. Again, there will be no charge on June 1st.

Beyond that, I have been thinking about the the future of the channel over these past few weeks, and all the plans I have. I'm not in my mid 20s anymore 😁 so I want to start taking more of a "now" approach, rather than a "I'll have time to get to it eventually" approach, especially for some of the longer series that have been requested a lot.

So with all this unexpected extra recording time, I will be adding Hunter x Hunter to the line up in July, utilizing the tips I was given by content creator friends to make sure it doesn't give me any issues. HXH will have two slots a week, of course.

once again, thank you for being so patient, I appreciate it.

Relieved to have finally clarity on this Vimeo situation, and quite excited to be back at it on July 1st, with an exciting new addition to the line up as well.

This is most likely what the new schedule will look like in July, on Patreon.
