VOTE on the Tier price change

Due to several financial factors explained in this video, I need to change the pricing of Tiers 1 and 2. I've always been committed to the balance of keeping this Patreon as affordable as possible while also supporting myself, and I always will be. This change very much comes from necessity, and it's the only option I have for finding something that approaches basic financial stability.

(If my phrasing seems stilted or mechanical it's because trying to convey meaning about this through a text only format feels very, very strange. I do a much better job in the video.)

A couple of things need to happen before any change is implemented--I'd hardly just spring this on you out of nowhere. First, you need to know what's happening + why, and that's what the video is for. It gives all the context you need, and lets me look you in the eye (which is important to me in general, but especially for things like this).

Second, I need to get a good idea of how many patrons would stay and how many would become Free Members or choose to leave. This will help me gauge the best path forward for everybody. Here's what the the new pricing would be: 

If you already know you'll stay, that's fantastic! I'll keep working to give you every ounce of value you've always deserved and then some. Let me know you'll stay in the poll below.

If you would have to become a Free Member or leave, whether it's too costly or you don't get that much value from what I do, I completely understand. Zero hard feelings. That's simply how it works between creators and patrons, we've all had to deal with that aspect of the relationship in one way or another.

Free Members are a huge part of a Patreon like mine. It only makes sense that some people need or want to hop onto a Tier for certain shows and then hop off again. Since Free Members became a thing, I've done my best to provide what I can to them as a thank you for taking an interest in what I'm about, and that will never change. <3

Being honest with me is what will help me navigate this in the best way possible. I recommend watching the video for context, but for a lot of you this will be a pretty simple decision, and I get that too.

If this Patreon's Tier pricing changed to $2 for Tier 1 and $3.50 for Tier 2...

I love you and your content and think the price change is absolutely fair! But I am in a bad situation financially right now and am actually unsubscribing from everything across the board until I get a new job (and then I'll be back!) <3

After watching your video on the matter I am glad you got to be honest with your audience (creators rarely are) and despite the change being a single dollar, it matters to speak about it! If not for the money for the relationship with your audience. You are awesome so of course I will remain a Patreon in my current tier and perhaps one day I can upgrade! You do so much for us and we'll stay and keep apreciating it if we can!

Ana

I love your content so I would definitely want to keep supporting you as much as I can, but I'm currently unemployed and my financial situation is very bad right now, so I would most likely have to do some sort of an arrangement where I change between a free member and tier 1 every other month or so. I fully understand the decision to change the pricing though! ❤️

Helmi

I'll stay in my current tier even if you raised it to $6 or something like that. The value that I get from your reactions are golden 🥰

Kristian De Luna

These time have been so difficult for people with low living wage, but since I don't live in the us (thank God for that since I'm diabetic) it's not as bad for me. It's not much but I'm going to up my tiers to 2! Hope it will get better for you two 💜

Marion Parmentier

Absolutely still want to stay involved as a free member!

Jamie Kopmann

Totally get it, dear! If you wanna hang around as a Free Member you'll still get the monthly sweepstakes winners and the backlog of series that are freely available, but of course it's up to you and there's no pressure. <333

I absolutely love your content and your honesty but out of my financial situation I’ve been cutting out extra costs and now I’m leaving all pateons and subs that aren’t free, please stay the beautiful person you are and I hope to support with watches and interaction for a long time to come

Jamie Kopmann

I will continue to support your amazing content and value your unparalleled transparency. Take care.

I´m currently at Tier 2 but I was thinking about downgrading anyway with the Discord opening up. I don´t feel like polls etc are happening that often that it´s really "worth" it tbh. And I´m also very much missing the live reactions in discord, like doing After Dark over there and then posting it later, rather than just posting it, stuff like that was primarily the reason why I went with Tier 2 initially, watching some shows live with you just made it a bit more personal and it was generally just a fun time. But I also understand that that makes your schedule very rigid and inflexible when you can get reactions done, so I understand why that kinda just stopped being a thing, even if I miss it. That being said, the prices are still really really affordable and I would absolutely stick around, just at Tier 1 rather than Tier 2.

I'm already paying much more for one another Patreon channel (high enough that I can barely afford it tbh) and thought these new tiers would cost a lot more than they do, so I'm definitely staying <3

I won't be changing from tier one with this change as I feel like the increase is fair. I like how you run your patreon compared to others and I appreciate your commitment to transparency, particularly when your health concerns understandably impact what you can do. I feel as though you provide a lot to tier one at a low cost and even at times of low activity or you're reacting to something I don't personally enjoy I've stayed on. Hope this helps you feedback-wise :)

Chelsea George

Honestly you should charge more than what you already do, and how affordable you are is a testament to you. I know for some 2$ will unfortunately make a difference if they aren’t financially well but I think for a financially stable person the change shouldn’t even be felt. You make a lot of content, some available for free on YouTube. So please take care of yourself.

Wyll Grant

You're my favourite Patreon creator and the only one I often rewatch reactions from. I imagine that I'll stay on my tier and unsubscribe from someone else to make up the difference!

Han

In my opinion of course you can make it 2 $ instead of one I mean come on your Patreon is one of the cheapest i've ever paid for, I wouldn't mind I mean you post many things and it's a work and honest way to get money and I personally love your content and will stay ^^
