My piece (Patreon)

Hey! Dropping this here instead of keeping anyone wondering what's up. I'm filming videos rn so this weekend will be more more scheduling. Finally able to resume and start the shows we'd been talking about. For this schedule I'll keep you guys up to date when things are done and posted via lens clips.  Schedule has been shifted due to some delays with the paqui chip.

Now, I know that over the course of running this Patreon, I have not been the most consistent. I'm likely not as consistent as other people you watch and I own up to that. I've always tried to be open with you guys and let you know when things were going on that made this hard for me and I figured it would make things a bit more understanding but when money is involved it tends to leave a bitter taste in some people's mouths - which I understand. 

Over the time away, I tried to think, even for a few minutes, of ways that I could approach making videos when I'm not in the best headspace and I couldn't really come up with a conclusive answer. I feel that it'd be too  visible in the videos, so I won't. Instead I'll just be straight up with you guys like I've always been and continue to do what I can. 

I do not intentionally take long on shows, I take my time sure but I try to not promise a schedule of things especially when watching multiple things at once (I've learned my lesson from that). Uncertainty of when I'd be posting and inconsistency in my past can definitely make people not want to be here (like everyone who joined for iKON TV but then last month just happened to be a horrible month for me). It's unplanned and I just roll with the punches.

Anything that was started and completely dropped may have been from loss of interest, if that's the case and I don't want to resume I think that's fair. I want to enjoy all of the things I'm watching. When people tell me to watch the first episode of two dramas and go with the one I enjoy more, that's what I'll do. Some things hit differently at different times. I'll be going back to give other things another chance and since I don't like things left unfinished I'm sure I'll go tie up those loose ends but I don't think I should have to force myself to watch things that I am not interested in. 

The tier change, I've talked about this enough but again - for those who understood, thank you. For those who told me that other people offer more for less, I'm sure they do. We all have different circumstances. And though I didn't switch the tiers around for financial gain, this is all I have. I pay bills, specifically a stupid high car note and insurance prices since I have no one who can assist me with credit (or financially). I'm also aiming to get an apartment at the top of the year so I can have more of my own space. Some people just may be able to offer more for less if this isn't their only source of income or they have more of a sense of stability in their lives. I really beat myself up about that feeling like I upset everyone and worried about how people could view me as money hungry or something over the fact that I have things I need to handle for myself so that I can be more stable and I don't think that's right. So I'll do my best, posting something every M/F and possibly Wednesdays like it's been in the Patreon about section. I'll do my best to include a video for every tier and fulfilling the backlog of some requests before accepting any new ones (Big Potatoes!)
