At the end of this video I talk about why I started asking viewers for support (which I hated to ever do). I've been starting to see things improve and demonetized videos are becoming rarer. I never wanted to "double dip" by accepting goofy sponsorships over the last few years while having Patrons. Since things are improving on Youtube (ads and videos being suppressed by being dm'd) , it would also be wrong to continue to ask viewers for additional support. I just want to be honest with everyone.
I'm sure most larger channels would never TELL you that things on Youtube are improving and happily pocket your money. Smaller channels could probably use your support though.
If you need to reduce or eliminate your support, please do and don't feel guilty about it.
I still want to do the give-aways, I often have stuff from videos that people might want to own and Patreon is a good place to do that. I can't PM people on YT anymore so I can't do give-aways for Channel Members. There is no secure way to get their shipping info.
Anyways, when/if the time comes that I need support again, I will reluctantly ask for it. thank you!
