Oh cripes, only just saw this!
That did help thank you! Always nice to know what other creators offer, I'll take a little look at a few and see what they've got going on.
A discord chat is a good idea, easier to monitor and what not.
Yeah I get ya. It makes me wonder if people are inclined to pay the extra just for getting their name at the end of the video. But I suppose people will!

Dunno if it helps, a lot of the creators I follow do something like this:
All patrons get photos & updates, etc.
For $5 you get your name at the end of the video (this helps to create a "community," and whatnot,) and at $10 or $15 you get into the Discord hangout/chat, (so a slightly more exclusive chat situation.)
After the $20 mark everyone starts to get far more creative and original with what they offer.
*Note: I've updated my pledges on other channels from $1 or $2 to $5 for the streams & credits, but that's as high as I've ever gone.
Have a good night/day :)

I wasn't available at the time, and was not aware of this until later. I did listen to it in its entirety while at work (I work third shift stocking shelves at a local retail establishment ... I think you know something about that.)
Because the phone was in my pocket, I was able to hear your replies, but not see any of the text comments.
It was strange because I wanted to break into the discussion, especially the beginning where you kept asking if anyone was there, but I was unable to do so. Now I know how a ghost would feel.
Whenever I add a creator to my Patreon account, the wizard asks what reward I would like, based upon whatever tier I was entering; I generally respond with 'no reward'. I'm adding someone to my account because I like what they do and want to support them however I can, no reward expected. I suppose you can do whatever you think you should do with regards to rewards. I have no opinion in the matter, and am not likely to change a pledge because the next tier has a bigger prize. I will, however, remain as loyal a fan to you as you are loyal to your friends, because I think we all are friends at some level, and you are a hoot to watch. :o)
btw: you asked about time differences, I am in the east coast US. If you are at Greenwich Meridian time then I am five hours behind you.
