This Patreon Is Changing Forever

Hello Patreon people! I've got a lot to talk about when it comes to the future of this membership. All good things, I'm afraid. Check out my ramble!

Comments

Thank you for the free sub! You bet I will make some great use of it as long as it lasts!

I got a gifted sub from the discord earlier today, I most definitely won't be able to stay when it runs out but I'm glad I'm here while I can be I started watching in 2023, which isn't long, but I started watching YouTube in general in like 2020 so

Watching your videos just feels like hanging with the boys and watching them play a game. Love your stuff so much man!

SensaiNate

Tyler! I found you 5 years ago when you were playing Poly Bridge and have been watching ever since. Unforgettable series that you have created and taken me through. Thank you for everything and cheers to many many more years 🎉🥳🫡

Your videos became part of my routine in the past two years. I love them and main point of joining your patreon was your words about playing videogames here you enjoy most over games you think would do great on YouTube. Just really like your game choices, your personality and I wanted to see you enjoy games I like (our taste in them quite overlapping) and support you. Especially after schedule changes and your words about burning out trying to produce everyday youtube content on top of your streams and patreon. So just continue to enjoy playing games you like and that would be enough) If time difference would allow it, I definitely will join your stream live. If not, I know what will occupy me at work)

Tyler, if it makes you feel any better, I HATE dealing with social media as well. So much labor just to get attention brought to your work, especially when you want to make a living. Really is a lucky gamble to make the jump to content creation as a source of revenue.

I also miss when the community of things that I enjoy was full of cool people doing cool stuff with it, now it's full of fire everywhere. I have distanced myself from almost all online community ever since, glad that this kind of thing still exist

For some reason I thought patreon only accepted creditcards(I only have PayPal and debit). I was pleasantly surprised it does PayPal. 🥳🥳

if only i could marry all three 😔

Porter Kiblinger

Yup! It'll just be an unlisted YouTube stream.

I agree that I have been putting on a slightly different persona for YouTube lately, it's semi-intentional and definitely a result of my distaste for social media. I approach some YouTube videos with a more 'showman' vibe, because I'd rather the comedy, story arc of a run, or cool puzzles be the focal point of the video. I've noticed that if strangers start believing that a YouTuber is like a 'friend', then they start treating them like a friend in all ways, including the negative ways where they'll roast or insult in ways I don't like, or give input when I'm absolutely not asking for any. Mix that in with the social media aspect, where literally anyone can just show up, and I'd get dozens of these unwanted comments per day. It got exhausting, so I'm now trying to treat YouTube videos more as straightforward entertainment. Patreon is much smaller, and everyone who's here wants to be here, so I'm cool with being more personable and authentic.

I’ve been a daily viewer of the channel since a bit after the Bloons era and I really fell in love with your content and the amount of joy you get when playing really good puzzle games. It’s been so interesting to watch the channel grow and the way you approach it, but I’m also extremely glad that the Patreon is going to get more love as a smaller community. I don’t mean to be rude, but I feel like some more recent videos have a different sort of Tyler in front of the camera, like a content creator persona instead of the puzzle game lover that brought me to this channel. I think the Patreon (for the most part) has done a great deal to remedy this, but I was just wondering if you’ve felt this transition? Do you feel like the social media aspect of YouTube affects your own experience playing games?

DaPie

Social media is terrible but forced down our throats sadly. On another note I think we all enjoy watching an intelligent guy play some video games!

Raushaun Tate

Are patreon live streams archived?

Nerd1729

lets gooo, Tyler I think why we are all here is not only the godly problem solving you bring to puzzle games but also you are just such a funny and likeable guy. Looking forward to getting a peak behind the curtain a bit. Hopefully this question isn’t too personal - Marry, Fuck Kill: Spinventor, Balladin, and Roundrel?

I think it brings out the worst in people, including myself. It's hard to know whether you're talking to someone worth talking to, or a toddler, or a bad faith actor. Plus, the sites are engineered to take advantage of negative aspects of human biology to keep you hooked for longer. It's much more rewarding to have a conversation in real life.

Bill Seth

Hell yeah, glad to hear you're doing well. The Obra Dinn was a fun series for sure. I always had a soft spot for room escape games though, so I got to say my favorite series has been Rusty Lake. Anyway, keep up the good work, we're all rooting for you

UnknitAtom

You said you hate social media, but you like communities. What do you hate so much about social media?

Wim van de Laar

You nailed it there at the end. Obra Dinn has been, I think, the best piece of content you've put out recently. That may be the fault of the game itself being so cool and unique though. But still, I'm jonesing for more Obra Dinn-esque content 💉😬

Eric Easterly

Yeah I'll give a huge heads up

Bill Seth

When we get to the sub goal, can we have a date for the livestream posted so that I can free time to join?

CmdEngineer

It was indeed watchable! I'm not huge into live streams myself but I like the smaller closenit community aspect of doing it via patreon viewers and bet it would be awesome!
