As most of you are probably aware, I run several youtube channels. Currently, my three main active ones are: Digibro, where I post the main content that usually gets marked for patronage on here; my Digibro After Dark channel, which I use for stuff that doesn't fit on the main channel; and Digi Bros, which is a let's play show that I do every day with my little brother.

For as long as I've had a patreon, I've always struggled with making decisions about which things that I've made are "worth" posting on patreon. It's really up to my own discretion, but I always want to be sure that my patrons are paying for something that's worth their money, and that you won't be paying for something which you didn't want in the first place. It's always been tricky because different people are interested in different things, and sometimes a vlog about a broad topic can be better-received than a heavily-edited video about an unpopular show. I've just been going by what feels right to me all this time, and justifying not patroning most of my work by whatever ad revenue I can get from it.

Since the Digi Bros channel has never really gotten popular, even though I personally find it strangely fulfilling, I've always figured it's out of the question to mark. However, in the last month I've been posting a ton of vlogs to my Digibro After Dark channel, which have gotten a really warm response. Not only have there been people asking me if I could mark them on patreon somehow, but I even gained a number of patrons just by way of these vlogs. A lot of people have been calling my vlog channel the "real main channel," and some of the content which I've been posting there has been more interesting than the heavily edited content on my main channel, even to me.

Now of course, I still don't think that these vlogs are worth patroning individually, no matter how good I've gotten at making them, or how interesting or entertaining they might be. That's why I'm patron marking the entire month's worth of vlogs all in one post. I think it would be nearly impossible for any one person to find absolutely nothing of interest in all of these posts--in fact, if you're a fan of my style of analysis, then there should be plenty to love across the board.

If the response to marking this turns out to be really negative or I lose a bunch of patrons from it, then I'll never do it again. However, if everyone is really super open to this, and if I keep making the crazy amount of good vlogs that I've been making, then I might consider marking a batch of them again in the future. Lemme know what you think!
