I will be introducing channel memberships

Hello everyone,

I've been working on introducing channel memberships, a feature that hasn't been available to me for the longest time for some strange YouTube reason. I want to give you an advance notice as you have been my greatest supporters so far.

Everyone with a YouTube account will be able to join my channel as a member and choose from one of three tiers:

The first tier will be for $1.99 a month and will get all members early access to my new videos. As soon as I upload a new video, you - my patrons - and first tier members will both have early access.

Second tier will take $9.99 a month and will include members-only director cuts of my main videos. These will be same as my main YouTube videos release freely to everyone, but will include additional cuts and commentary that didn't make it into the main videos.

The third tier is gonna be for $24.99 and for these members, I will make one exclusive video a month where I will react to a segment or an event related to the topics of my channel and will give an edited educational take on an issue at hand. This will be different from my Patreon-only videos, as this video will be fully edited and visual, rather than being a podcast-style commentary that I do here for you twice a week.

To be clear, none of this has any effect on my main channel videos. They will continue to be released regularly for free to all. Likewise, I will continue making Patreon-only videos for you guys up to twice a week and they will maintain the same podcast-style commentary format. If you want, you are welcome to become channel members too. But if you don't, you will continue receive all of the Patreon perks that I had promised to be delivering. 

My goal with this is to make this channel survive for as long as possible. But my ad revenue hasn't been growing for the past two years at all. In fact, it has been in decline in the last few months. With Patreon, channel membership and ad revenue, I can have three different revenue streams that can help keep the video production afloat. The main focus will always remain on releasing free videos to the widest audience possible. And in order for that to be successful, I am gonna have to expand my channel and possibly include some editors, graphics designers or other professionals to help produce videos faster and with better quality. 

My earliest target is to escape the unavoidable algorithmic bubble my channel seems to be trapped in. With your help and support, I think we can take it very far.  And for that, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart! You are the ones who are making this work possible!

Thank you!
