UPDATE - Wednesday, July 24th 2024 (Patreon)
Content
TEEM,
Reactions will begin again on Monday, July 29th 2024
There will be a slight change to how and when we post. Doing all of this MUST become more sustainable for Madison and myself. There have been some Patrons who left as a result of my fatigue and I'm glad they're gone :)) I can't ever make those people happy. Their expectations are unrealistic...
For the ride or die Patrons who are still here with us, you are GOATED!! We love you all and we truly do this for you!
"Creator Burn Out" is a real and terrible thing. The constant pressure to post content all the time is like a 1000 lb weight attached to your body. This type of work requires us to be present physically, cognitively, and emotionally. Regardless of if we're feeling sad, tired, or just having a bad day, we must put a smile on our faces and pump the content out because if we don't, we lose our "supporters"
Addressing some of the previous comments -
"Hire An Editor" / Our Output
We have somebody specifically tasked with creating the Naruto YT edits. Besides having that person do the YT edits, we cannot afford an editor. We simply do not generate enough income to do so.
Some Patrons have complained about our output. Give or take, we post 5 reactions per week on the DB channel and 5 reactions per week on the Naruto channel.
EACH Patreon has had a minimum of 15 uploads per month
Between both channels, we post EVERY SINGLE day of the week on YT!
We've been compared to other reaction channels who post daily on Patreon. These channels have hundreds of thousands of subscribers. We are a small reaction channel. We cannot compete with them and their teams.
The Purpose of Patreon
The purpose of Patreon is to support your favorite creators so that they can continue to create the work that you love & enjoy
In return for your support, we are able to give exclusive benefits to our Patrons.
For our Patreon specifically, some of the benefits include - UNCUT, Early access to our reactions, exclusive content like Patreon Recommendations, Podcasts, and Filler Episode / Movie Reactions
Patreon is ALWAYS optional.
Most of our content eventually goes on to YouTube where it is free to watch
"Upload Schedule"
Our Patreons DO NOT HAVE an official upload schedule
The main promise of our Patreon is to be ahead of it's YT counterparts
The Patreons have ALWAYS stayed ahead of it's YT counterparts
THE FACTS
I WILL take time off from working when I'm fatigued
I MAY burn out again in the future
Regardless of if we have 5 Patrons or 500, we WILL CONTINUE to do these reactions.
Madison and I appreciate our Ride or Die Patrons. I know some of you by your names :) YOU have given us the opportunity to do all of this! I'm eternally grateful for your unconditional love and support. I do not know how to ever repay you...
