Important update (and cut content/extras)
Added 2020-06-05 11:47:40 +0000 UTCHey everyone! Shit's fucked right now, huh?
I know I'm saying this a lot lately, but what with the world being the way it is right now I feel like I should be saying it more often; thank y'all so fukin' much for your support, seriously.
Main take-away here is I think I'm gonna switch to monthly charges starting next month. There are a few reasons for this, but the main thing is that need some stability.
Originally, I started this patreon page as a way to fund commissions for artists and cover production costs (equipment, software licences, stock sounds+music, etc.) However, as YouTube has shifted from my side project to my full-time job, I've been pressured more and more to release big videos faster and faster, because if I don't, I don't get paid.
In some ways that's a good thing! My work ethic is pretty poor, so a looming deadline is a pretty effective kick in the ass. I'm not able to really take breaks, though, and I don't want to be the next youtuber making a "woe is me burnout bad" vlog. Switching from per-video to per-monthly should help take the pressure off and allow me to take my time and stress a bit less. And pay animators more.
With all that said, if you are not comfortable with this change, PLEASE LET ME KNOW in the comments below. As always, please don't feel obligated to continue your pledge if you're uncomfortable or unable. Watching my videos is more than enough. :)
Thanks for taking the time to read. Here's some cut content from the latest video as a quick thanks. https://youtu.be/Fpwi59_eZyM
