Changes to the Patreon (Patreon)

Hey, everyone! We're getting ready to change things up here on Patreon, and we wanted to give you a heads up. Based on feedback you've given us and how past rewards have done, we've come up with a new arrangement that we're excited to roll out. These are the changes you can expect to see in the coming weeks:

The $10+ tier will change from a character cutout every month to a surprise digital perk from Thought Café. This might be a character cutout sometimes, or it might be an exclusive GIF you can download and use whenever, or something similar. It will have all the Thought Café fun and creativity you're used to seeing from this tier, just with some more variety!

$15+ will still include a merch discount, but instead of the monthly sticker, we will send you a quarterly merch item. Everyone at this tier and above will get to vote on what this will be. It might be a sticker, a pin, a poster, etc. Sending out a quarterly item rather than monthly will allow us to send you a wider variety of merch (we know a lot of you were running out of space on your laptops for stickers), and plan what we'll do based on what you tell us you'd like. We'll still have a sticker for you this October, but after that we'll make the switch to quarterly merch.

For $25+, we will no longer do quarterly pins, but you will still receive a quarterly merch item (since you are a $15+ patron), and you'll get to vote on what you'd like to receive that quarter. Plus, you will receive content/production insights we won't share anywhere else. This might be a livestream of a video editing process, or a breakdown of how a script progresses, or a livestream of a table read, etc. We'll post these a few times a year, exclusively for $25+ patrons.

We are saying goodbye to the annual awesome item at $35+ simply because the cost of manufacturing is too high to be sustainable. It was fun to do once, though! And everyone at this level will still get all the rewards from the previous tiers.

These changes will allow us to send you cooler stuff, offer more behind-the-scenes looks, and generally focus on providing the things you've told us you find most valuable. We also plan to incorporate more giveaways for all patrons, so look out for those!

We cannot emphasize enough how much we appreciate your support. We truly could not make Crash Course without you, and it means so much to us that you choose to be such an integral part of this project. If you have any questions/ideas/etc., you are always welcome to message us on here or email us at info@crashcourse.tv.

Thanks for being awesome,

Team Crash Course
