Update Video!! Huge change to SSFF Patreon

Just found your channel yesterday. That’s a pattern subscription from me. Great stuff.

Jordan Gribble

Every little bit helps! We need the strength in numbers, so if people need to pull their pledges, it wont impact us too much. Times are tough right now, we're thankful for anything that you can pledge. So thanks for that!

It's something people should talk about more because I think everyone assumes we're all out here making PewDiePie and Ninja money, but only those at the very top are! We live in a two bedroom apartment, that we rent, you know? But we get by and we have the freedom to make the dumb videos that want to make, you can't really ask for much more than that! Thanks for the support!!

Stop Skeletons From Fighting

Every little bit helps! And we don't want anyone going broke over us, so just what you can! Thanks so much!

Stop Skeletons From Fighting

Thanks so much! We're gonna kick some major ass in 2022!!

We're a burger positive community here! Please make sure your trash food budget it not too impacted by supporting us here!

Stop Skeletons From Fighting

No YOU'RE awesome! We wouldn't be able to do this without you!

Stop Skeletons From Fighting

You've been watching for that long, you've already been supporting me! But I appreciate having you here!

Stop Skeletons From Fighting

To be honest, we're not exactly sure. Patreon has been a reliable source of income, but predicting exactly how much we'll make has always been an issue. We just wait until the first of the month and see what comes through.

Stop Skeletons From Fighting

Thanks!! But don't take too much of a risk on us!

Thank you for making this video and for letting us in on your financials in transparency. The very fact that it's taboo is what makes it so difficult in for me to internalize the habit of supporting all the creators that I love because I don't really have any way of knowing how much they need my support. You folks are absolutely worth it. So thanks for reaching out to the un-Patreoned in this video; I'm now gladly on the other side of the fence.

It’s not a lot but I doubled my Patreon donation. I want you guys to hang around and it’s the least I can do.

Cody Jemes

Just subscribed for a year! I have loved your channel for far too long without supporting on Patreon. I wish you all the success in the world and keep up the outstanding work.

Im so glad im able to suport you guys, you guys are so awsome

I've just done a huge change in my life and I decided that some of the money I'll stop wasting of thrash food will definitely be better spent on helping one of my favourite creators and becoming a Patron for the first time in my life!

I'm considering raising my pledge and saw a 16% discount with annual pay. Who is getting less because of that, you guys or Patreon?

Gabriel Duque

I've watched your stuff since the HVGN splatterhouse video. I've always felt bad for not supporting you, but finally am in a place where I can do that. Hoping for 10 more years of Derek.

You are my first channel I’ve decided to be a patron for. Tbh I’ve only done $1. But I’ve never shied away from watching any of your content. You have an energy about yourself that makes you incredibly watchable even if I could care less about the item you’re talking about. I wish you all the luck in the world in getting to your goal.

Thanks so much!!

Stop Skeletons From Fighting

If Uncle Derek can take a risk with their finances, then so can I. Monthly pledge RAISED!!

Kenan Bennett

Just wanted to copy this here so it doesn’t get lost in the flood of YT comments: I'm an absolute NOBODY channel, but you guys and your immense positivity have helped inspire me to branch out and do my own writing and videos. I have already gotten paid work doing it and I definitely credit you guys with some of it. I went ahead and bumped my pledge from $2 per video to $5 so you guys won't see a reduction from me. My wife wie and I love your content (partially because you two are almost identical to us in a lot of ways as I learned from the podcasts) and your videos, style, personalities are so charming. So we're gonna be here for you guys through it all!

Quinton C.

Just became pateron as well after watching the video, regards from Hamburg, Germany....

How dare you try to take less money from me! I'll show you! I've upped my tier, and you can't stop me!

David Akers

Joined as a supporter - albeit at a low level - almost entirely because of the openness and willingness to discuss figures. It's really interesting to me, and I'm definitely in favour of long form content. Best of luck!

zephyrmo

You can't stop Stop Skeletons From Fighting

As much as you guys have brought me smiles, you definitely deserved another supporter, keep up the great work :)

I just saw your video about big changes and decided to become a supporter after watching the channel for five or more years. I like what you do and want to support you as much as I am able.

Just watched the Youtube video, you make great content and here to support you both :)

Completely agree! I've never done Patreon before, but I am glad that I chose to support this one first! I love the videos and can't wait to see more!

Just watched this video over YouTube and now this is officially my second ever Patreon subscription! You guys' content has always been top-notch and I'm happy to help you guys improve even more. Now it's time to take over the world and stop these friggin' skeletons!

Wolfgang Xander

See, it's the honesty and legimitely enjoyable, fun content in this terrible world that made your channel my first non-nintendo-force-magazine Patreon subscription. Keep up the good work!

How could I not give my favorite and only uncle some money?

Claire Myers

And my axe/pledge!

I’ve been watching for two year and while I don’t have too much to give, keeping content like this alive is worth ever single penny! Excited to join the patreon!

Joined to help ya'll out! You guys deserve to have way more subs and viewers than you currently do

I joined Patreon to support this channel. Yall are amazing!!! Keep up the good work.

Glad to now have my name in the credits. Keep up the great work you two!

Long time fan, first time supporter. I appreciate your transparency and I'm excited to help you build to your vision!

Myncy

I really appreciate what you guys do so I made an account as soon as I finished watching the vid. I hope my contribution helps the channel!

Loved this video, loved the transparency and I absolutely adore your energy and how engaged (no pun intended) and passionate you are. This made me go back to being a patron. It's not much, but I want to help out somehow and see the channel grow even more. Keep doing what you're doing and let that passion keep on shining through. In the YouTube quagmire of snarky videos and content creators loving to tear down video games, you shine through like a star. That's what got me into the show and why I keep watching every video you put out, no matter the subject. I want to support that.

Petter

SSFF is one of my must watch channels. Definitely don't mind tossing a bit of cash into the pot to make sure this channel can keep pumping out those awesome videos!

upped my pledge in light of the change - hope that helps, even if just a little!

I started watching the happy video game nerd when I was a tiny tweenage kiddo. It's taken me some time to get a stable income going, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to support people who've made me smile for half my conscious life. Bless you both, and all the best in 2021!!!

Serious question: What about making higher tiers? I know that typically means more “perks” but I don’t think you need to do all that. Just having the option (without doing it manually) where you can up your pledge from $1 to, I don’t know, $3? $5? You guys are one of the last Patreon’s I support because a) your content is just awesome. You can really see the passion behind these videos and b) you have been so honest and transparent with your audience I feel like I really know where this funding goes. It seems really obvious that you are making this happen despite maybe it not being the most… lucrative endeavor one could do.

Nicholas Arthur La Barre

After watching your newed vid I IMMEDIATELY decided to become a supporter. Been a huge fan of your guys' content for YEARS and am incredibly excited for what you both have in store for the future! Hope the holidays treat y'all very well and heres to an amazing 2022 for you both, much love~! 💛

CataChrome

Thanks for letting us know Uncle Derek and Producer Grace. Juat from the YouTubes had no idea it was cutting it that close. I'm so grateful for the vids, great and small, and want to help. Hope even more folks come in and pledge to get to 3k and beyond.

TLC

Your video inspired me to up my subscription $$. I don't want Uncle Derek and Producer Grace to worry about their income during the holiday season!

Jason Hurley

New supporter here, can't wait to see what you guys do, and I hope you reach 3K patrons sooner rather than later! Looks like you're already on to a healthy start. Keep being cool, and dammit, we GOTTA stop these skeletons...

We got your back Uncle D! New patreon supporter here!

Personally I think you should have some higher tiers, but I have put a custom pledge in for you. I always look forward to your videos, they are always so happy and fun. Hope your channel continues to grow!

Love your content, felt like a good time to join.

Per video? Nope. Per month? Nah. Per year? Oh yeah.

Aspernari

Good Luck 🤙

I love your videos and had to make sure to join!

Kevin Lippes

Man, I did not realise that it was one quid a month for everything on the Patreon. That's an insane deal for a channel where I always check out a nerd video as soon as I can. As Fry put it, shut up and take and my money!

Just joined. Appreciate the openness.

just bumped my monthly to $20. Long live SSFF!

Thanks for your honesty. I’ve enjoyed your videos for many years and no time like the present to start supporting you here!

Love the energy and the moxie to make this move. Your long form videos are fantastic. First time patron, long long time viewer. Let’s go!!

John Mickey

Great decision, I think! Thanks for the openness!

Fanshen

Bumped up to keep it roughly even! Hope the gamble pays off, especially since I didn't realize how constraining the per-video thing was on the content. Very eager to see y'all unchained!

Valora Inverse

Okay, I'm in.

glad to finally be here!

Nuno Silva

Just joined!

Just joined to support! Stay powerful!

Just joined at 5! It's easier to budget for it knowing it's only a one time charge

Had to re-subscribe after watching this. Stay bonesy. <3

JLunaarS

Just bumped my pledge to $10/mo to help compensate for the change. Thanks for the great videos!!

Brielle Garcia

Thanks!! ADHD is a super power but it needs to be treated carefully, I hope you’ve got the therapy and meds to keep you level

Stop Skeletons From Fighting

Thanks! I don’t know about the best but I definitely feel like we’re doing stuff that not many people are doing and that gives me great joy!

Stop Skeletons From Fighting

We do not make any money from the Podcast. We’d probably have to runs adds on then, I’m not exactly sure.

Stop Skeletons From Fighting

Damn, that was the very beginning!!

Stop Skeletons From Fighting

Every little bit helps! Don’t go broke over us!

Stop Skeletons From Fighting

Thanks!!!

Stop Skeletons From Fighting

Nah, I think I’m done revisiting the HVGN. The Blu-ray was the universe telling me to move on.

Stop Skeletons From Fighting

I wish I could back a higher tier. You guys put out some of the most unique video game-related content on YouTube and deserve more love. I will continue to spread the Skele-word!

ScottyMo

I went to up my pledge and realised i was paying in GBP and not USD. My bank doesn't charge for conversion but patreon do to creators, so I've changed that to USD so you get as much of my pledge as possible.

Peter Shillito

Upped my tier to the goop troop. Been watching your stuff since 2010ish. Btw I love your Resident Evil videos and wouldn't mind more of them and Final Fantasy stuff :D Or more funky controller stuff! Btw for inspiration for any Resident Evil videos cvxFreak wrote a book I backed and it's very interesting! Lots of details and deep dive interviews about all the old Resident Evils!

Koos Janse

You both do what’s right for you! Also is there any chance of revisiting the HVGN Blu-ray? Personally the postage was too high to the UK but maybe a different fulfilled would make that cheaper as fangamer has always had expensive postage for me.

I am also adjusting my pledge upward for the new format. Really love your videos!

JaneEldon

I love your videos, I'm increasing my pledge

David Mueller

Bumped up a tier to make sure I keep supporting the channel at roughly the same rate. You're making some of the absolute best gaming content out there and I'm looking forward to what's to come going forward!

Nick Burns

Bumped up from $10 to $20. From one ADHD brother to another, stay strong. Love the vids <3

On the podcast do you guys get revenue on Spotify, which place helps you guys the most?

TheGreatKoopa

I used to be a 2$ a video kinda guy...now Im a 5$ a month kinda guy. I love watching you guys.

Ryan Blarg

Congrats on 300k! I can't believe it's been 14 years! i've been here since, i think, day one or close to it on, like, gametrailers.com.

Upped my tier to 5.00! Wish I could do the 10.00 or even 50.00 but my current situation doesn't allow for it. Eventually!

Drew Quesada

just upped to the $5 month tier because I love the discord and want to be in the credits

Will G.

Increased my tier. Wishing y'all the best, dumbest 2022!

Upped my tier for the cause. The stuff you guys put out is 100% worth it and I'm super excited for the longer videos! Honestly, you could make a feature length documentary about any dumb peripheral and I'm there!

The way mine was set up was per month anyway (you can set it to charge for only one video or something) but moving to per month makes sense. I hope those that can will up the pledge but know we will always be there to support you guys

Daniel Duran

Makes sense! Just upped my tier. Thanks for the videos through the years Grace and Derek!

I think per month makes sense. I can't afford to right now but will up my pledge when I can. SSFF had been tied for my favorite youtube channel for about the last 5 years. Really Hoping you guys can hit 500k or 1m subs within 2020!
