Update post (Patreon)

Hey gang,
Just wanted to give you the lay of the land. We're changing a lot of things in the backend/the way we do things right now, so a lot of invisible work that won't pay off just yet. It looks like the first songwriting video on a new channel goes out next week, and as you know I filmed a Levels of Singing video last week that should be ready soon (Rikard is working on it downstairs).
I hope all of you are doing great! I'm really excited about where I am in general right now, though numbers may be slightly down on the RoomieOfficial channel at the moment, they won't be for long. It's been important for me to take a little bit of a step back and look at the big picture, looking at stuff like what you guys were looking forwards to in the polls here on patreon, what videos people subscribed for on the channel, etc.
I really just want to make the best stuff possible, and put it on channels where the highest percentage of people will enjoy it. I used my main youtube channel as a "catch-all" for everything for a long time, but I've realized that's not the best way to go about it on youtube anymore, so we're evolving.
I'm playing with the idea of the new channels being a bit more "partnerships" with my friends rather than me overseeing everything - that would mean sometimes you might see a songwriting video with just Jonas and August, or similar. Just small things like that would unlock time for me to work more on the music I want to release, as well as things like Levels of Singing videos, personal videos connecting with you guys etc.
At the end of the day our time is a zero-sum game, and everything we do means we're choosing not to do everything else at that moment. I think all this is a great step towards everything being better across the board, for everyone, viewers and team alike.
Anyway, that's the update. Yall are really sick. I would love to figure out better ways of connecting viewers like you guys, in my ideal world my viewers (who want to) would be in group chats together, playing games together, making meaningful connections is this more and more disconnected time.
Appreciate you all,
Joel
