Survey Highlights & New Patreon Test

Hey Everyone!
So this is gonna be a long post, but I thought it would it would be good to share some of the highlights of the survey.
I feel it is important for you guys to get a feel for how people answered.
I also want to give some perspective on the decisions I made for the experimental changes I'm going to make on my Patreon next month.

The changes to my Patreon can be seen at the bottom of the statistics.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Survey Highlights

55 people took the survey

What do you value most in supporting Patreon Creators?

58.2% - The Quality of the Works

16.4% - The things you cant get anywhere else. eg OCs, Professionalism etc

14.5% - Consistency in content releases

9.1% - The Exclusivity of content. Things only available to Patrons

1.8% - The Speed at which works are made

80% of survey takers valued Quality over Quantity

40% were indifferent to requesting Rule 34 Pics, with a slightly higher amount (by 5%) thinking it important.

85.5% had feelings of indifference - importance in requesting Sweet Life pics

20% were indifferent to the amount of pinups made each month. with an almost even spread of people deeming it generally important, and generally unimportant.

It was important-very important for 72.7% that the pinups be in Full Color.

79% found Line art generally unimportant so it will no longer be a thing.

89% are also uninterested in seeing psds so I will continue to not factor that into rewards

In order to make room for more varied content, 

45% felt reducing the amount of of pinup requests would be the best course of action. 

The second highest at 25.5% said to keep the colors flat, 

The third highest at 23.6% voted to remove the alternate versions. 

83% Find story to be important - very important. 

63% Are excited by Rule 34 Comics

89.1% Are excited by Sweet Life Comics

When asked to choose between Sweet Life Comics or Rule 34 Comics 85.5% chose Sweet Life

81% voted to cull the amount of Pinups per month, to make room for comics.

 When asked "Is a single image better than a comic, if the single image is faster to make?" 61.8% Said No. 

0% think Patreon content should be made public immediately

56.4% Think content should be publicly released overtime, (the current system in place)

The second highest 23.6% think public release is fine if Bonus content is exclusive.

94.5% Believe change is good, if a little scary. 

With these results in mind. The following changes will be be put into effect in an experimental trial  for the month of April and May 2020

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following changes are experimental. After the experiment period we will asses and see what is the best way forward.

The monthly Sweetstakes will be reduced to 3 Pinups every month

They will be made up of Sweet Life and Rule 34. The ratio is fluid.
