Scheduling & a question...?

Dear Patreons, Like a lot of creators here do, I wanted to share some thoughts and ask a question based on them. Firstly, my channel is just 3 months young, and overnight I hit a few milestones: • 3,000 hours viewed per month (4,000 needed for sponsorship or monetization, low value though that would be) • 900 subscribers • My PSU video became the first to hit 3,000 views! https://youtu.be/UCdXV0X6wEY I don't think I could've hit any of those without YOU. 🙏 I'm very conscious that this must always feel like the fun hobby retrocomputing is, and should never feel like pressure or a chore. But, I've seen some of the biggest retro channels (albeit different in tone to mine) almost complaining on video about "having to answer 100 emails" and seemingly angry at being so popular. I never want to feel that way when I'm answering 100 fun emails about a subject I love! To summarize, right now it's all for the love of retro and this amazing community. That must never change. But I had a reality check recently with the unsuccessful copyright takedown attempt against a video I was so proud of: https://youtu.be/LfdCX6EAWQ0 Lawyers, money, and lost sleep all came into play. Sometimes, with putting myself out there, this is going to be stressful. That's the reality. Separately, I was thinking about the growth of this channel. I have a list of unique upcoming video ideas longer than a C64 Mini (that's actually quite long). Yet... my subscriber count is really low. To quote a comment I received yesterday: "I adore this channel. This is probably the lowest subscriber count channel I've ever subscribed to, and I feel like I'm getting in on the ground floor of something big! :)" Thank you Katie! What this makes me think is that there's a risk in releasing too many unique videos whilst less people are seeing them. Sure, future subscribers can look back in the archive, but people prefer fresh, new content. They like to get it while it's hot. "Peaking too soon" isn't the right phrase, as I will never peak (that implies going downhill and I have fun ideas for years!) But I need to time things out right. I've never committed to a release timeline, but in my own head I've been releasing a video every week without fail. It goes to you lovely Patreons on a Sunday at around 12:00 PST, and to mere mortals the following Tuesday. You may notice how much I put into each video, be it editing or repairing or presenting time. They're a lot of fun work! And so to my question. When I think about never wanting this to feel like a pressure (that's the clichéd free spirited artist talking I suppose), the inevitable reality of stresses from outside forces, and wanting to time or spread the video releases out for larger audiences, I ask you this: Q: How do you feel about me moving from releasing a video "every week", to releasing a video "every 1 to 2 weeks"? It's a big deal to me to make sure you're happy. You may never have even noticed I had a schedule until now, but I did as when I commit I commit. Now, it might be that one week I'll just do a live unboxing (I have more packages stacked up already! - contact me to donate to the channel!), and the next week a full video release, be it 10 minutes or 40 minutes long like last week. Or I'll split it in two. Or one week I'll release a video and the next week I won't because I'm working on one for the following week. Well, you get the idea... I'm very open to your feedback and thank you for listening. I want to get this all just right, so that the channel is successful, which means it stays around for you, that I never seem like I'm not enjoying it, and that we get to share this partnership for years to come. Thank you for joining me on the ground floor 😊 Your friend in retro, Chris aka ԹҽɾíƒɾɑϲԵíϲ
