Thank you (also, thank you) (Patreon)

I want to thank everyone for taking the time to respond about the Mel Brooks video. I'm in the process of incorporating some of the suggestions, and I hope to have the final version public tomorrow morning.

But in a broader sense, I wanted to thank all of you for helping fund this venture in the first place. I was talking to a friend today about how different it is now from the days when I was reliant on ad revenue - it was all about how much you could get out, how fast (which is a lot of why I'm not super proud of some of my old work). This model means not only that I'm not doing 100% of the work alone (because I can afford to pay people), but that we can focus on quality over quantity, and spend the necessary time on research, media cultivation and writing. And honestly? I find it much, much better this way. Angelina and I worked really hard on the Mel Brooks episode, and in many regards it has come to feel like a team effort with all of you guys, as well. Thank you so much for your support as well as your sharp insights - we really couldn't do it without you guys.
