Hey everyone, a lot of you know what’s been going on with Vimeo and me now for a couple days.


long story short, they are trying to force me into paying a ridiculous amount to continue to host my content on the platform. So I’m left with a couple options, this is option 1 of 2.


if I keep Vimeo (which would be the path of least resistance) as the host I will need the community to help by increasing the tiers.


so what would a fair increase of the tiers be to you? NO JUDGMENT

🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍 thank you so much for this feedback!!! It’s direct and solution oriented and I greatly appreciate it seriously!

Gotchu.

As a somewhat long Patreon supporter I have no issues with a 5+ tier. I do have to say though, the uploads and amount a videos would need to stay consistent. Your work and commentary is worth it but I support some others with higher tiers because of the amount of content and the consistency. With the upload schedule being what it is and sort of hit or miss it will probably be hard for a handful of people to keep supporting at a higher level. (This doesn't include taking time off, mental health ...etc.) as those make perfect sense and nobody wants you to burn out. But again, with other creators doing anime, movie, tv, youtube video reactions. There is more than enough content to have 10+, 15+ tiers. Another thing I noticed is that with some shows the benefits are being weeks ahead of Youtube. I've seen plenty of times Youtube has gotten an edited video and Pateron is still sitting with no video at all. Keeping a range from $1-$15 to fit everyone's budget makes the most sense, and having more variety in those tiers (I believe Roshi does give aways sometimes, discounts in the shop...etc.) I hope none of this will be taken poorly and I'm here to support regardless but just some thoughts on the matter. All Love!

I'm already at 5 bucks and as I'm from brazil and dollars are very expensive here, right now I'm not ready to up the contribution. In the future perhaps....

Use another service. Others use multiple sources. SuperMechaFrieza uses 3.

I love your content bro, and you're my favorite reactor. I'm barely willing to pay $3 extra for the same content, though anything higher than that i'm not sure if I would keep the subscription. My reasoning is more along the lines of other subscriptions like Netflix, Hulu, etc starting at $6+ a month, but for that price you're getting a ton of content and countless hours of shows and movies, etc. If every reactor started charging 8 dollars or more, I would really have to consider if it's worth paying that much for each reactor. Nevermind being subscribed to 2 reactors or more, bc that would already run more than $15 a month for content that I have already seen but watch only bc I enjoy the dialog and reaction that goes along with it. However, I only use patreon when there's a new video reaction in the week that I would like to watch, which isn't every day, unlike a service like Netflix that I use every day with others, that has too much new content to watch for the same price. Just something that I like to consider when i'm subscribing to something monthly. If you do decide to move to another platform in order to keep the same pricing, then I'll be glad to follow you there without giving it much thought at the current price. Best of luck bro.

Maty

why not just switch to breach or mega?

Rayeil

Well tell us what would be the best price that would help you keep your orginal method of posting and be honest and we will most likely go with what would keep everythi g the same

Ozmonkey

$3 increase in each tier should cover cost if nobody leaves

I’m sticking with you regardless bro i love your content and your openness with us you don’t see that alot from people!

Yea I just watched his video and it seems that he doesn’t want to raise it at all but maybe a little bit. Also he said 25k a year which is kind of insane if you think about it for a device.

You’re right. And that’s why there’s a poll and discussion rather than him just doing it randomly. It’s a tough situation but I think everything will work out the way it needs to. I’ve been trying to get him to set up a PayPal so people can donate to the channel so if/when stuff like this happens he can at least cover himself temporarily and give the people more time to work through everything together.

I’m only subscribed to him and got Patreon for Adonis cause of his content so I don’t know about other peoples pricing. However, I would say to look at the poll above to tell him how many people would likely unsub if it got too high. About 45-50% are fine with $10 the rest said lower. Imagine if it was $15. There goes half the subs but he gets triple the money. It’s a tough situation honestly and entirely depends on each individual and their willingness to stay.

That’s fair, but I do see a lot of people paying more for less content. Most of the people in the comments are saying they’re willing to pay whatever, but $15 really isn’t that bad. $20 is pushing it, but with all the stuff that goes on behind the scenes it’s fair considering a lot of time is put into it. I know artists that charge $30/hour on their work and it’s worth every penny when you see their paintings. Everyone is going to see it differently. But I’m willing to pay $20 for the videos lol.

It would have to be $3 for each site otherwise people would just unsubscribe due to the effort alone.

Dude your crazy if you think people are gonna stay with a 4x increase. They’re already used to the $5 price. That’s big of a jump he is for sure gonna lose a lot of subscribers.

If he does increase it, I want to start a money pool on PayPal to help people like you and others who can’t afford it every month. Just whoever wants to give a little extra. Even if it’s $1-2 more so that ONE person can continue watching.

Dude I’m dead ass 1000000% Detroit smashing the highest tier button no matter the price. What do YOU feel it’s worth? Yeah we get 1-3 hours of content. That’s cool. But you put in 100x that much into the prep, editing, sound, re syncing when your tech messes up. You don’t just say “sorry guys no reaction I’m not gonna put the effort in to fix it.” You have literally fixed at least 4 videos that way and I couldn’t imagine the stress that entails. Don’t short yourself no matter what anyone says. Quality is quality and recognition is rewarded when deserved and my guy you deserve it. Side note : Low tier should be $10 high tier should be $15-$20 for the amount of unedited content that’s on Patreon already, plus all the shit coming forth in the future. I look forward to seeing where this all goes. Best of luck man ✊🏼

Vimeo is being really scummy. I'm sure you've already considered other streaming platforms, but have you considered cloud services, like Mega and GDrive?

Jason Ngo

lmao facts, the 10 dollar patreons are like 15 dollars too. shit got me so broke

wassa

lmao

veryohno

All these ppl saying they would pay this or that arent taking in consideration the hundreds of viewers that would just unsubscribe if he does do an increase. Do you want to make 2 extra bucks per person or lose 5$ completely and the views from hundreds..? I would say this bro split up your content into 2 patreon sites and charge 6 bucks total or 3 bucks for each site. You get the best of both worlds and you dont lose content or viewers. Plus ppl can pick and choose which content to watch and what to spend without affecting your pocket.

You do whatever you see fit but if the price increases then I'm gonna have to cancel my membership because I already pay 7 USD because I live in canada and conversion tax is a bitch with my bank so

Jainand Patel

These stimmies hitting fuck it just make it $1400

Deda

I’m cool with paying $10-15 a month. It’s no problem since you put out a lot of content

+5 for sure bro... Y'all better not hide cause I'm pretty sure a lot of y'all got that stim stim check okay lol spend that shit hahahahahhahahahshhshahahahahahha

Heavenly Demonic Emperor

Your Content is worth it man. I’ll gladly support you even if you up the tiers. Love the reactions you put out. It got the authentic reaction, the attention to details, story wise, character build up, and especially the life lessons that tie them all together!!!

If no one leaves due to the price change

+3 more per patron gets him an additional $2220 which would cover the 2k for the additional charges

Still willing to support. Your content is well worth it.

Veronica

dw tho ill be back once i start working again!!! i cant get any hours at my current job because of covid but i 100% support u if u raise the price an extra 5 dollars

wassa

Personally, I voted +3, but if it ends up being +5 I’ll still be here to support you. Your content is worth paying for.

Artiicus

ur content can def be worth 10$ a month for sure, but if u do happen to raise past 3 dollars its likely i wont be able to support this channel anymore T-T. I'm a broke teen about to enter university so money been an ongoing issue for me. But nonetheless i have nothing but love for your content but I'm prolly gonna be going back to them edited YouTube vids.

wassa

It sucks this is happening, it’s insane how much good content you’ve put out and for such a low amount compared to a lot of creators which we all appreciate 🙏🏼. Whatever you need just know we got your back 👊🏽

Juan Noquez

Bro a lot of Patreon including me cannot pay more than $5 in a month, we are teens, A lot of us pay from their parents money, pocket money or from a local job, I know you deserve a lot and know what condition are you in but pls consider before increasing the price, if so then I request you not to increase the price more than in +2$ ,No HATE you are the best BROTHER :D

$5 more is definitely okay. Whatever you need to keep going

Assya

You tell us man, we’re willing to support regardless

I feel like whatever it takes to subsidize the projected vimeo cost would be fair, so like $3? Unless you're anticipating an increase in cost over time, but hopefully new patreons would offset that. I'm okay with any of these increases because I enjoy your content, as long I know the increase is justified/explained I'm good 👍

Nats

I agree. I pay the least for Adonis yet he puts out the most content.

Jess

5 is cool. You do provide a lot of content.

Mten10th

I have no idea. But I'm the highest tier and that isn't going to change...........unless its like 25 a month

Tristan

The thing is your tiers are pretty low considering the other reaction channels I support. I personally wouldn't mind paying a lil more. The most support I've given a creator is 15 a month for super early access and full lengths.

ManicMeeks

Whatever you feel you need!

5 cool with me

Kevin Ferrariz

Whatever you need bro.
