Patron Discord update

Added 2020-10-23 18:53:26 +0000 UTC

Hello patrons! Thank you to everyone who has participated in the TierZoo discord server. I have made the decision to remove my discord server from behind its paywall. Entry to the server is now free! There are a few reasons for this change.

1: Several attempts have been made to create an unofficial TierZoo discord server in order for discord users to have a place to form a fandom community without paying. I'd rather keep my community together, so splitting fans via a paywall isn't worth it.

2: My patreon data shows that many patrons pledged because they were only interested in early access to videos and scripts, and as a result, lots of people were automatically entered into my server despite having zero intention to actually participate, leading to a large but inactive server. I'd rather have an active community than a community that pays me money to be there.

3: Discord's Partner Program policy recently changed. They've raised the requirements for engagement to levels likely unachievable for a mid sized server that is paywalled. I'd rather my community server retain the benefits of partnership, so I'm hoping opening up the server will allow it to reach the engagement requirements.

This decision does reduce the value patrons gain from their pledge, so please adjust your pledges accordingly. Revoking your $1 pledge in response to this decision is a completely valid move, don't hesitate at all in doing so if you're no longer satisfied with your rewards.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the members-only version of the discord server! I hope to still see you there as it transitions to an open community. Feel free to invite your friends, too!
