Patreon Update - May 2021 (Patreon)
Content
Hey everyone! As a preface to explaining the changes that will be made here on Patreon for the upcoming month I'd like to give you guys all a reasoning behind these changes first.
As I've told you guys recently in update posts, I'm preparing to move out of state with two friends in about two months. I am pretty nervous about the change and to go so far away from my family and friends, but I really want to try to see what type of opportunities this could bring. Since it's such a big change, and I'll be leaving a situation where I don't have to pay for most living expenses besides my car stuff, I wanted to make sure that more of my time spent doing everything could help me in the best way possible so that I'm not in a bad situation whenever I'm out on my own.
I came up with these changes considering things from my position but I also considered you guys in this as well. I've also talked to friend's who have supported me the longest on Patreon and requested them to help me come up things in the most fair was possible.
Here are the changes:
Small Potato Tier:
- Live stage performance reactions and requests.
- Full album reactions.
- Automatic entry to the "Monthly Album Perk" (choosing a random patron to get an album, every month, to give back to you guys).
- Vote for Patreon only live stage reactions through exclusive polls. *polls options are selected from the most liked request on post (stage/show etc)*
- Patron role on discord (The community server chat filled with my supporters and myself!) This role will display you brightly over everyone else.
- Changing from $5 to $3
- Removing K-dramas
- Increasing uploads of live stages and album reactions since we haven't been doing many
Medium Potato Tier:
- K-drama reactions and requests.
- Full concert reactions.
- Survival show reactions and requests.
- Variety show reactions and requests.
- Movie reactions and requests.
- Anime reactions and requests. (tba)
- Vote on variety/survival/anime shows and album reactions on exclusive polls. *polls options are selected from the most popular frequently requested*
- Monthly stream on Twitch where you send me a video you'd like me to check out (or a few depending on time) as long as it complies with Twitch's TOS. Everyone can watch this stream, but only the requests (that will be taken beforehand here on Patreon by the most liked requests.) will be the ones controlling the stream! Stream will be about an hour-hour and a half
- All previous tier perks included.
Big Potato Tier:
- Guaranteed reaction request, monthly. (I will post a reaction to a video of your choosing every month on YouTube or Patreon *depending on what it is*) [10 min max].
- "Old but Gold" reaction requests/polls (request throwback videos)
- 35% off merchandise
- All previous tier perks included.
- Changed limit from 10 people to 15.
- Big Potato Requests will be taken at the first week of every month, must send your request in the comments of the request post within the first week.
Gold Potato
- An additional "Monthly Album Perk" exclusive to Gold Potato tier.
- 3 Guaranteed reaction requests, monthly. (I will post a reaction to a video of your choosing every month here on Patreon or on YT depending on what it is.) [10 min max].
- All previous tier perks included.
- Created just in case there's anyone who would do it.
- Limited to 5 people.
- Additional Monthly Album Perk for the people in this tier, if there is only 1 person in the tier, then I'll buy a random album from a list of your favs and send it to you.
These changes are primarily affecting the small tier, I have checked all of the kpop channels of my knowledge, who create bonus content on Patreon, and this is the most common setup for content amongst tiers.
Note:
The current drama we are watching "The Uncanny Counter" will be finished and all episodes uploaded before the date the changes will be put into effect.
These changes will be put into effect for current patrons 4/30/21. The old Small Potato tier will be unpublished and replaced with the new, cheaper tier on 4/20/21.
If you guys have any cool suggestions for the Big Potato or Gold Potato tier, feel free to comment some below! I'll also be posting a week overview for the time I'm away to apartment hunt, starting tomorrow up until the 20th, it will be posted sometime today with those videos starting today.
+ Thank you again to everyone who came to the Patreon Stream earlier to help me out with some upload questions and general opinion on how everything has been lately on here! I appreciate you guys a lot! The stream is available to watch for those who missed it in the post before this one.
