Welcome to the party
Added 2025-01-28 20:16:20 +0000 UTCHey everyone. I don't know how many of you there will be, so I feel kind of weird writing this now, but I just want to say as directly as I can:
Thank you so much for your support.
You can't know how much it means to me, and the weight of responsibility is very much felt. I'll do my best to give you all the kind of content you've come to expect from me over the years at Linus Media Group!

Veronica Explains
2025-01-29 16:20:19 +0000 UTCWelcome back! You mention in the video that you had complicated feelings about opening a patreon because you didn't feel like you'd 'proven' the value of the thing people would be paying for, so I wanted to take a moment to explain why I signed up anyway. You're right, the only work I've seen of yours really was when you were at LMG with a veritable army behind you, and I am certain that there are areas where you aren't going to be able to keep up on your own, and I don't know what the end result of your work is going to be here. What I do know is that your prior contributions were something I enjoyed a lot and want to see more of, and so throwing a little bit of money at you to make it easier for you to show the world what you can do on your own sounds like a great deal to me. I'm not paying for a promised future product that might disappoint me, I'm donating to a cool person who's made stuff I liked in the past who says she'll make more stuff that I might like too in the future, and that's enough. Your previous work taking complicated and alienating things and making them seem approachable and understandable gives me confidence you can bring worthwhile things to the table, so make whatever art feels right to you—and weird videos about tech are definitely a form of art, even if that's not the word we'd traditionally use.

2025-01-29 05:54:57 +0000 UTCThis is my first time doing anything patreon related. Thank you so much for the inspiration you give to people around you by just being amazing and awesome.
Fry Otter
2025-01-29 05:37:00 +0000 UTCFirst time I’ve ever done a patreon, you’ve literally inspired me so much about tech/computer science over the years. Thank you Emily
Nathan G Johnson
2025-01-29 05:30:50 +0000 UTCThis is only the second time in my life I have supported someone on Patreon (and again its for a writer, ha!), and to you as well I want to make clear: I don't have any expectations. I don't want something in return. I am supporting YOU, not you content (although I enjoy your videos immensely). As such: If you ever catch a cold and cannot post, than by all means, take you time to get well again. If you ever take breaks to ... I don't know ... breath. Then DO THAT, by all means. I will be here no matter. I am here to support YOU! Peter P.S.: I also felt the different lighting setup tries... this part of content creations is painful but necessary. I certainly know it took me ages before I uploaded my first video and did my first online coaching. Looking back, I realized that this paid off immensly in terms of "learning the trade". But fuck me if I didn't do many, many painful mistakes on the business side of things. So, for this, good luck to you!

2025-01-29 02:52:24 +0000 UTCI have always appreciated your calm, balanced and well-informed content and personality in LMG content . Excited to see where your media creation journey takes you.
Matthias MJ Mair
2025-01-29 01:31:46 +0000 UTCHere to support! I don't care what the content is. Have fun. Chill. Do what you like doing and build an audience around that.

2025-01-29 01:19:01 +0000 UTCHi Emily, I'm so excited to see you back! I love seeing individual YouTube creators just doing what they love to do! Patreon is a great tool to enable those projects. Happy to be directly supporting you!
Dawn Blair
2025-01-29 01:18:54 +0000 UTC👋 hi Emily, non-binary engineer currently working at GitHub here. You always were one of my favorite people in LTT videos. I can’t wait to see where your channel takes you!! (since i mentioned my employer by name, standard disclosure: all thoughts and opinions are my own. yay legal CYA stuff)
Marz Rover
2025-01-29 01:08:23 +0000 UTCChipping in to agree with what others are saying... don't feel the need to do LTT-style content, or review (or opine on) the latest tech products or anything; do whatever sparks joy and that you find interesting to share with others. Here's hoping you get a soft start and can take the time you want for shooting, editing, etc without worrying too much about numbers!

2025-01-29 00:39:02 +0000 UTCWelcome back! We missed you. You've had our respect and trust for years - Supporting here so you can make the content you want, without working the algorithm or sponsors.

2025-01-29 00:34:25 +0000 UTCWe love you <3
Jesse Copas
2025-01-29 00:27:16 +0000 UTCLooking forward to what you do Emily :) always loved your videos on LTT!
Geoff Matthews
2025-01-29 00:25:44 +0000 UTCThis is an amazing start and i'm happy that i can support your future. I want to be clear your first video was a great way to set the stage. You keep talking about the perfection you want the videos to be with design lighting camera work and scripting etc. You need to remember while you were part of a big team at LTT you don't have to hold yourself to that standard and can be difficult when you're setting your bar so high for yourself. Youtube IMO, is all about maintaining a normal pace to your videos that is both comfortable for yourself and your audience. That means you don't have to spend multiple weeks on perfecting an edit. Your community would prefer to see you MORE, doing what you love most and as you build your channel into what it will become you'll find what works out best for you.

2025-01-29 00:25:42 +0000 UTCI met you through LTT, but that doesn't mean I want or need you to be LTT. If I'd met you in a coffee shop, I wouldn't need you to stay in a coffee shop. LTT is just where I found you originally. Now you're here. So am I, and that's not an accident. It's really cool to see you again and I'm excited to see what you get up to and what you opt to make your channel about. I'm also grateful for the little personal tidbits about your own real experience because it isn't my experience and I can learn more about more people through it. But don't ever feel like that's what you have to do - you're just a person and you get to live your life just like every other person does. You're not obligated to be different because you're "different". You get to just be who you are, I'm here for it either way, and not particularly interested in politics either beyond concern for when they affect people negatively since I play a role in that as a member of society. Congrats on getting started! I hope it grows into something you really love.

2025-01-29 00:16:24 +0000 UTCYou're awesome Emily! I really respect your point of view on things and your values, that video of yours just now, that was *chef's kiss*. And I look forward to seeing anything and everything you put out there! Just a little bit about me just in case you wanted to know 🤷♂️, I'm a mechanical engineer from England that does machine learning for work (somewhat odd crossover, I know, right?! 😂), and in my free time I love doing DIY speaker design, building, and calibration/software-DSP.
Elliott Dyson
2025-01-29 00:05:43 +0000 UTCIt's great to see you're back to making content about the stuff you're excited about, I'm rooting for you. I really did miss your videos. Take care, Emily!
Szymon Betkiewicz
2025-01-29 00:00:15 +0000 UTCYou don't need to do LMG-like content (though perhaps you would find that easier to start with?), you can makes the type of content that makes you happy and about which you are enthusiastic. We're here for *you* :)
Patrizia
2025-01-28 23:58:46 +0000 UTCI decided to support you because you are you, not because you worked at LTT. I am excited to see what you decide to come out with.

2025-01-28 23:47:07 +0000 UTCLooking forward to your journey! By the way, you are an expert. Not on everything, and that's fine. Maybe you're not an expert on all the things you want to be an expert on, but that doesn't matter. We're not coming here because we think you're an expert. We're here because we support you in wherever you take this effort!
