Strike Update.
Added 2023-07-19 21:00:04 +0000 UTCWe're in unprecedented times, and wowzers bowsers, am I tired of writing that phrase. We would LOVE some precedented times. Such is life.
Quick update for you all about where we are, and how we are navigating the SAG/AFTRA and WGA strikes.
We have contacted the Guild about clarification on our content and are currently awaiting a response . Once we have further information we will be able to make the proper decisions on how to move forward, while the maintaining the integrity of strike rules.
It's only been 5 days, and information is changing rapidly day to day. We can make you one promise: We are taking this seriously and as soon as we have a game plan, you all will be the first to know.
Now: HOW DOES THAT AFFECT PATREON? Excellent question, not sure why you yelled it, but good question nevertheless.
The Short Term: You all have paid for a product pre-strike, and we aim to deliver it.
We are treating Secret Invasion watch-a-longs and Witcher 3 watch-a-longs to fall under "Contracts made before the strike took place" with our supporter base, yall have paid for a product before work was struck, and we will be seeing those through.
We believe this is within good faith of the rules put out in the SAG/AFTRA Influencer FAQ, and while most of this is new ground, we feel this is well within our rights to proceed with this content.
With that said Secret Invasion Eps 5 should be available tonight around 6pm EST.
The Long Term: Patreon's content going forward will fall in line with what we are allowed to make on the channel. We have a game plan for many contingencies. It may get a little weird, but as always its going to a hilarious ride.
We will have updates for you ASAP, we appreciate this community so much and are so thankful for you patience on this matter.
-Jay and Adam

2023-07-20 02:31:55 +0000 UTCYou do you, mdudes. I’m not going to remove my pledge. I full blown encourage taking a stand with this regard. Just think, Patreon exists because YouTube won’t pay people properly… these strikes are very similar.

2023-07-19 23:59:43 +0000 UTCI knew the Peaches could count on you both to display the utmost respect and maintain your integrity when it comes to supporting the unions. I echo what others have said here; you’ve got my support with any decisions you make. ☮️💕🍑

2023-07-19 21:24:50 +0000 UTCYou guys are the highlight of my day most days. You’re the first channel I go to for reactions because not only are you wildly entertaining, but you also just seem like genuinely good people. This just reinforces that. I’ll be here supporting y’all in whatever you can do during the strike. Union solidarity forever!

2023-07-19 21:20:15 +0000 UTCMe and my husband love you both and will absolutely continue to support y’all here on Patreon during the strike. You two (and the Peaches community!) have been there for us during hard times just by the nature of your content; we’ll be there for you! 🧡

2023-07-19 21:15:34 +0000 UTCIs it weird that I could read the yelling at us comment in both Jay's and Adam's voice?? 🤣🤣🤣. You guys are top notch and professional and it's one of the many reasons why I'm proud to be a peach. Keep up the amazing work!

2023-07-19 21:03:35 +0000 UTCI was going to donate during the crowd work, but I bought a year subscription to patron instead. Glad to be supporting you two while the strike goes on.
