Video Schedule (AND PLEASE READ - MAJOR CHANGES TO THE PAGE AND REWARDS) (Patreon)

Hey there everyone - thanks SO much for all of your pledges. I know I won't look very thankful after I say this very important message at the end of this super-secret schedule sharing, but I really hope every one of you understands the predicament. Either way, let's talk about this week's video list and I'll get to all that stuff afterwards.

WEDS 13th = Crossout Impressions = I was asked by a company to play around with a desert car combat game called Crossout - and even though I'm always very skeptical of brand deals, I played this game for 5 minutes and felt like a video needed to be made as too many entertaining things happened!

FRI 15th = 'IT' - CINEMAGGOTS = Cerys and I saw the brand new IT movie and decided to discuss it! We are both fans of the original TV miniseries but not because it's good - it's so bad it's amazing - so we were really worried about the direction and tone the new film would take. Turns out we shouldn't have been too worried - it was alright! But do we recommend it? Watch the video and find out!

SUN 17th = RIIIIIIDGE RACEEEEEER - Caddicarus = I've been meaning to talk about this game for years now. I loved Revolution as a kid but never played the original game as much, so now I'm really curious to go back and see what reasons that could have been. Hilarity will ensue, I'm sure.

Anyway guys, that's the plan for this week's videos - and now for the bad news for a couple of you. I'm sure a lot of you have heard about the 'adpocolypse' situation on YT currently going on - and I was one of the very lucky ones to have missed a lot of the drama surrounding it for a while. If you didn't know - after a particular situation involving PewDiePie and the Wall Street Journal meant that a lot of big advertisers for YT ended up pulling their ads from the site until they could be sure that their products wouldn't be advertised alongside overly-risque material. This meant that not only did we all massively get smacked with our earnings with advertisers leaving (leading me to create this Patreon page in the first place), but it also meant YT had to massively alter on their site what would be considered 'advertiser-friendly' and started demonetising videos from creators everywhere in order to be safe. I had a couple demonetised but not enough for a significant drop in income, but recently I had a major smack when over 60 videos in the space of minutes were hit - which unfortunately were all of my most recent videos, my highest-viewed videos that made the most money from the past, and ones that had nothing controversial/sweary/sexual in whatsoever. Of course I'm appealing a lot of them, but I feel as though this isn't the end, and videos even right now are being striked - even Dunkirk was hit but I managed to get it appealed and corrected before the video went live. To put it simply, this means my family's earnings have dropped by around 50-60% - and this unfortunately means I have to rely on Patreon more than ever in order to keep Caddicarus and the entire channel a full-time job - because if I need to end up getting another job, that's absolutely fine with me, however with my family life on the side, all of the videos will stop - and that would be the saddest end to the channel I could possibly imagine.

Anyway, to put it lightly, this unfortunately means that from Monday 18th September, I will be adding a few more reward tiers, and changing a few existing ones. The $1 reward will now be access to this secret schedule, $3 will be the weekly preview video and $5 will be names in the credits. With this change in the page, I'm sure many of you will be pissed off and have every right to be, and I'm not stopping you from leaving your pledge entirely - it's a messy situation, I understand that. If you decide to go there will be no hard feelings or anything at all - and as a final thanks - this Sunday's Caddicarus will be a final special credit roll to thank every single one of you from the $1+ tiers (over 400 of you!) - because you all really have helped me out and changed the way the channel runs for the better when it was in a tricky situation before. It's a shame the situation has got trickier, but you never know where things go in this industry. If you chose to leave your pledge after this news, please keep it until Monday 18th, so that I can see your name in the Patron list and include you in the credits for this Sunday!
