NAMES IN CREDITS
Added 2024-09-16 11:05:07 +0000 UTCQuick-but-important poll for you all. Would it be a dealbreaker if I stopped reading out patron names at the end of the critiques? (You would all still be listed in some rolling credits!)
The reason why I'm asking is because I'm looking at the credits for the Hellblade critique and it's topping 10 minutes of me just reading names. That's amazing and I'm VERY grateful so many of you are here, whether it's for my stuff or for Lore Dump, but the channel's retention has been hit pretty hard recently because - naturally - people are leaving the video while I'm reading the names! And it means the algorithm's punishing me 😂
Cast your vote!

You could compromise by just playing outtakes or bloopers while the credits roll

2024-09-18 21:55:23 +0000 UTCWe all know you’re grateful to everyone’s support. And though I’m happy hearing my tag we understand. If anything you could always just shout out any new members as a compromise. So everyone could have it at least once.

2024-09-17 02:20:56 +0000 UTCThere's so many names now, I think the meme has run it's course. I rarely stay behind to hear it anyway.

2024-09-16 21:03:30 +0000 UTCHonestly, no. I know I’m grateful you make awesome content. I don’t need to hear my gamer tag come out of anyone’s mouth and chew up their time, just enjoy your time dude! And keep up the awesome content!!

2024-09-16 18:44:17 +0000 UTCI have already lived the excitement of hearing you read out my name and if I really need to hear it again I can go back to an old video you don't have to read all of our names out loud all the time it's so much lol

2024-09-16 17:30:15 +0000 UTCNah ditch that! I'm paying to support you. As long as you do what you do I'm happy to help, no need to hear you read out my name. And if YouTube's shitty "algorithm" punishes you for having an audience...well you catch my drift

2024-09-16 16:31:35 +0000 UTCTo be honest I didn't realised you were reading names before

2024-09-16 16:22:03 +0000 UTCYou crack on pal. 10 minutes of reading names has gotta be boring as hell for you, no matter how grateful you are.

2024-09-16 13:02:03 +0000 UTCThe fact that you read them for so long is amazing I would have gave up on reading past 30 members

2024-09-16 12:49:50 +0000 UTCI'll say that it's fine enough to have my name in the credits alone. At the end of the day, just happy to support someone who I know deserves every single cent. Hell, I'd pay twice if I could!

2024-09-16 11:39:00 +0000 UTCDon't really mind. Whichever u think is best tbh. Just having my name in the rolling credits already is good enough for me.

2024-09-16 11:29:14 +0000 UTCIt honestly feels like a rite of passage to have to stop reading all names because the list is so long. Very exciting! Congrats 😊

2024-09-16 11:21:07 +0000 UTCI support your work because I love your videos, not because you read our names. If no longer reading names at the end means more people get served your videos, I fully support ending the practice.
Yoaly Rodriguez
2024-09-16 11:16:44 +0000 UTCTotally fine with you not reading names anymore. Like someone else suggest, you could also do a random draw of a much shorter list of names to read out (pick different ones each times and keep track, start again from the start once all names have been covered)
ai_monogatari
2024-09-16 11:13:55 +0000 UTCZero issues with you no longer reading all names out. I became a Patron to help support your amazing work, not to hear my name read out at the end of a video. I imagine most of your supporters feel the same.

2024-09-16 11:09:45 +0000 UTCThis is a great idea!
Yoaly Rodriguez
2024-09-16 11:09:34 +0000 UTCKeep reading names but simply pick 3-5 random ones from the group each video. That's what cinema therapy does and I think it works pretty well!
