Thank you!!! (Patreon)

What a response. This has been the most dramatic few days in Actualol history. Thank you so much to everyone for stepping up the support to save the channel.

Thank you to all the new patrons who pledged. All the former patrons who came back. And all the existing patrons who continue to give, or moved up a tier.

This has been game-changing. With the added support, I will be able to pay the bills and keep making videos. I won't have to worriedly check the YouTube ad revenue numbers every day anymore - and that is a great relief. I can go back to focusing on making quality videos - and I'm very excited to do that.

I've received a lot of comments on here and YouTube, it will take me a while to get through them all. Thanks to everyone offering advice - I will make a Patron video next week talking about lots of things surrounding the channel that may help explain why I don't make YouTube shorts, or do things a certain way.

It's been an intense few days. Making that video has opened me up to a lot of criticism and negative comments on YouTube. I certainly didn't relish making it - it's scary being so vulnerable on the Internet, and then having a bunch of angry armchair experts tell you how you're doing everything wrong and should be ashamed of yourself. But I take comfort from all the support I've received - it's been great to learn how many people want Actualol to continue.

We're currently at 27 pledges in the I Want More LOLs tier, which is amazing. So I will try to use that support to increase my output - going towards my editor and hopefully someone to help film b-roll, so I can focus on the words.

Here's to a bright future! I now can say "this is working" and get back to doing just that!

Actually yours,

Jon
