Thank you all so much
Added 2022-10-06 15:06:37 +0000 UTCHey all -
Thank you all so much for the support. I genuinely never expected this many people to sign up for my Patreon over the last few days. It feels great to know I have such a supportive community.
That being said, I have to level with all of you - the re-upload of my Mega Man 2 video is actually performing quite well. Much better than I would have thought. It is making up for the difference in revenue that I would have received had the initial video not gotten age-restricted. So, there are no hard feelings at all if you'd like to cancel your Patreon support. I just want to make sure you have all the information. I had lost out on some big time money after the age-restriction, but the new video is making up for that.

2022-10-12 06:41:13 +0000 UTCGlad to be here and offer support! Great news that the re-upload is doing well. Your channel is one of my favorites on all of YouTube. As soon as you release something, it goes right to the front of my watch queue.

2022-10-11 21:26:26 +0000 UTCAmazing news that it's doing well. Sorry this whole debacle even happened in the first place. Love the content ❤️❤️

2022-10-07 09:29:40 +0000 UTCAwesome to hear that the reupload is doing well, but you can expect my continued support on this platform! I really enjoy your videos, and it's totally worth it for me to continue my support. Thank you so much for the hard work and quality content!

2022-10-07 04:49:12 +0000 UTCI think you're going to find that a lot of us were just too damn lazy to support you here before and we just needed the kick in the pants of finding out how YouTube screwed you to get us to move. I should have started supporting you long ago.
John Bailey
2022-10-07 01:49:41 +0000 UTCI mean you work really hard on your videos... and one thing I really appreciate (and will help me be a patreon supporter for longer) is that it's per video, so it's not a constant "monthly" subscription, plus I like to support when YT doesn't know when it's coming or going... stability is good. I like your style.... and I'm using a tiny bit of money I got from a douche company that I fought to pay it forward and wanna spread good from it, not bad. <3

2022-10-06 23:34:19 +0000 UTCNaw. Too lazy to cancel. You're stuck with me and my money.
The Boots
2022-10-06 23:05:56 +0000 UTCyeah that aint happening anytime soon. I've been considering supporting you for a while now and that blunder from youtube is just what pushed me over the edge. Keep up the good work and take my money!

2022-10-06 22:28:20 +0000 UTCLike hell I am going to withdraw my pledge. Take my fiver just for transparency.

2022-10-06 20:20:54 +0000 UTCNah SS, your videos are always high quality and you deserve all the support you get. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

2022-10-06 18:38:03 +0000 UTCHonestly, I didn’t want to jinx it, but I fully expected and hoped that we’d be able to come through for you in a big way. Your livelihood shouldn’t be subject to the same RNG forces that make or break WR attempts. YouTube screwing you over just makes me want to throw more money at you. Proud to be a Patreon subscriber.

2022-10-06 18:14:54 +0000 UTCI didn't even know people were signing up cos of the mega Man 2 vid. I just found a bunch of your vids and decided to chuck a few quid your way. Keep up the great work mate.

2022-10-06 16:53:44 +0000 UTCNot happening! Glad to hear the re-upload is doing well, and maybe with us all staying around you’ll be able to pivot easily to a different hosting platform if YouTube pulls this garbage again.

2022-10-06 16:48:43 +0000 UTCAppreciated, but nope! I'm still a patron! :D

2022-10-06 16:40:56 +0000 UTCSame here! Was very happy to give the new version the full watch time it deserves.
Riccardo Margiotta
2022-10-06 16:28:37 +0000 UTCNaw man. I appreciate all the work you do. This is insurance for when youtube inevitably pulls the same bs again.

John Nguyen
2022-10-06 15:58:19 +0000 UTCWhat a good dude. I think I speak for most of us when I say that we don't want you to be completely beholden to an opaque algorithm. It's not just about whether or not you lost money on this video, it's about making sure you have the security of knowing that YouTube can't unilaterally & arbitrarily stop you from making money on a whim.
dipique
2022-10-06 15:56:49 +0000 UTCTwo suggestions: one, give a link for Patreon only to the uncensored video. Can use Vimeo or an unlisted YouTube video. Two, consider doing livestream with superchat a few days after each new video drops, discussing the making of the video. I’m sure you’d get tons of viewers and extra revenue from that

2022-10-06 15:39:19 +0000 UTCLeave? You can't make me leave! I'll fight you! 1v1 me!

2022-10-06 15:36:35 +0000 UTCSame here, cant let it wallow in my feed when people need to see it! I hope your channel recovers to a good place in the algorithm soon. 👍 I really appreciate the honesty and not taking advantage of us.
CarpetDiem
2022-10-06 15:28:25 +0000 UTCI’m really glad to hear the re-upload is performing well. And your honesty itself will pay off so much in the long run Salt. Keep up the amazing work!

Joe Tangco
2022-10-06 15:25:02 +0000 UTCI was planning on supporting your content anyway, the YouTube fiasco just lit a fire under my butt to get it done. Love your content, hope this is just a small bump on the road
Alex White
2022-10-06 15:24:53 +0000 UTCNo, this is long overdue. Will be here as long as I can afford it
Twixxi
2022-10-06 15:24:37 +0000 UTCGlad to hear the new upload is making up for lost revenue. BS that you had to jump through the hoops that you jumped through but glad it seems to be working out now.
BubbleKing05
2022-10-06 15:21:26 +0000 UTCThe honesty is much appreciated, and is exactly the kind of thing that will make this guy stick around anyways.

2022-10-06 15:20:17 +0000 UTCSame, for me the incident was a reminder to pledge, not the underlying reason for it!
Ian Dimayuga
2022-10-06 15:15:11 +0000 UTCI actually muted my phone and let the new version play out in full while watching a movie last night. I watched the original and loved it but it didn't sit well with me to not give play time to the new one

2022-10-06 15:14:23 +0000 UTCI'm so glad the new video is performing well!! That makes me really glad❤️❤️❤️ Also it's so incredible of you to share that so honestly, you didn't have to do that but you did. You're amazing and it's an honor to chip in!!
Tybie Fitzhugh
2022-10-06 15:14:01 +0000 UTCYou have my support as well.
Brian Carson
2022-10-06 15:13:46 +0000 UTCHappy to hear the reupload is performing well! I intend to keep supporting via Patreon as it's so much better than ad revenue. :D

Kirby Glover
2022-10-06 15:11:02 +0000 UTCNo worries! It made me happy to see your story get some airplay on some game news sites. I'm a huge fan of your work and the Mega-Man 2 video was some next level stuff!!

Jorge Villar
2022-10-06 15:10:07 +0000 UTCNah mate you deserve it. Your videos are among the very best on YouTube
Lumi_Essence

Hufer
2022-10-06 15:09:21 +0000 UTCI'm glad it's looking up! Been following the channel for a bit and decided to support you. I really enjoy long deep dive content like yours and I would rather give you some funding through Patreon. Here's to many more speed running history videos 🥰🏆
Revolver_Ashelot
2022-10-06 15:09:20 +0000 UTCNope! Sticking around on Patreon regardless. You know snake YouTube is just gonna pull something like this again next chance they get.
Rowlet
2022-10-06 15:09:11 +0000 UTCI should have signed up for the Patreon a long time ago. I’ll be sticking around for a little while at least ❤️
