Reward Tier Changes (Patreon)
Content
As you've probably noticed, we recently got a lot more Patreon supporters, and as a result, some of the reward tiers were becoming difficult to fulfill. We've made some changes to a few of them, and we'd like to hear your feedback, especially if you're paying for one of the adjusted rewards.
First, we've switched the $5 and $7 rewards - now, if you pledge at least $5 a month, you'll be included in the monthly Google hangouts. In exchange, you'll have to pledge on the $7 tier to get the mystery mail (occasional props, artwork, signed things). This is partially due to underestimated shipping costs and fulfillment times required to send out physical objects.
On the $20 tier, we were running out of real estate at the beginning of our videos because SO MANY OF YOU are supporting on this level. Seriously, you're all crazy for giving us that much. Please keep doing it. Our solution, based on your feedback, is to replace the single credit at the beginning of the video with two credits, one during the end plate and one in the description of the video (which can include a link to anything of your choosing).
Finally, we have a new $50 tier for the truly i̶n̶s̶a̶n̶e̶ dedicated fans. It includes the opening credit from the previous $20 tier, now more exclusive and called "Producer."
Please let us know if any of this seems unfair or less valuable than what you were recieving previously. Our goal is to strike a balance between giving everyone their money's worth and also not spending all of your generous donations on fulfilling Patreon rewards over actually running the channel.
OH, and if you're on the $5 tier, please join us this Saturday at 11am CST for our December Hangout!
