Hi Patreon family, happy Friday (and Spooky Halloween)!!

Quick question: Do you think introducing a new $20 tier membership is reasonable for one extra exclusive special episode each week?

It could be an anime, a K-drama, or a live-action series exclusively for the $20 tier, voted and chosen by this tiered membership. Just throwing some ideas around to see if this would be worth the effort!

The YouTube AdSense is slowing down, and the copyright battle continues to be relentless, so we are thinking hard to keep the channel going since having an editor is not cheap, and trying to see if this is a creative and valuable option for everyone.

Either way, Happy Halloween, and hope all the bad energy and high glucose stay away from everyone~

P.S., also, would you like to receive a new monthly newsletter highlighting all the episodes I covered and a brief 3-bullet point of valuable topic highlights? Comment if you are interested, and we will see if we could start doing this :D

Depending on how much effort it takes to upkeep, id say adding tiers is always worth it. I'd bump up for exclusive episodes. 🤷‍♂️

I would be sad when I cant watch everything. I cant pay 20$ :/

Jan Negrey

I guess. Though IDK how much it would cost to upgrade for me. But 20$ is okay. I would suggest not making it completely cut off. Perhaps, when you finish the series, you could release it to lower tiers?

Akito Kiryu

that would be cool! its still exclusive for patron but for lower tiers

Happy halloweeeeen While not personally affordable for me I can say that if it was I definitely would so maybe other people that can would too

If this happens, I’ll make sure to unlock it for other folks after the series is over :)

Psychotherapist Reacts

It’s all good :) if this happens, I’ll make the completed series available for everyone else after

I think it's reasonable, and if you're unlocking the series after it ends then I think it's a good win win for both sides. Extra monetization for you, and we get a extra series, and if we can't afford to upgrade we can still see it when it finishes. I'd likely upgrade if the series is one I'm interested in

I would definitely give the higher tier some thought. I am very happy at my current tier, but I’ve already bumped my membership tier twice already. So I could still be swayed by your quality content . 🤔

Jan Negrey

Yeah. You cannot separate Patrons into - for the lack of a better word "tiers" of access. I'm a huge fan of content creators who don't gatekeep if they can. It's reasonable that you need money, so I'm not saying you shouldn't do this, but it would be uncool if there was even bigger separation in content between patreons. Those who can pay, get a right to vote and earlier (sometimes much earlier) access. But those on the lowest tier still get it. It's important not to make the jump too steep. I don't know your financial situation and I don't know if you're doing Youtube as full time or not (I don't think so, given how...few videos you release every week). And yes, editors cost a lot, because they have a very demanding job. There is an option in Patreon to make certain series also being possible to buy. So you could have free members, who could buy for example for 1 time donation access to 1 collection (depends on the size of collection). People who cannot pay you 5 or 10$ a month, but could for example pay 8$ once to watch all of your Frieren reactions. Otherwise you get 5$, they binge watch it and then lose access to it. But if you enable it, they pay 8$, they can watch it whenever they want and transaction is complete. Both parties have an incentive. And they might like your yapping so much, that they decide to pay 5$.

I think it’s not a bad idea at all, but $20 monthly may be difficult for many people. I’d prefer the current system as it is because i personally can’t afford it, but if you do it, i’d like for the exclusive series to at least come out for lower patrons at later dates! So we can experience those shows too, even if we have to wait longer for uploads haha

To be honest, this makes me a little bit sad, since currently I’m priced out at this level. That being said, I totally understand needing more revenue! So if enough folks who can afford it sign up, I say great, go for it. And hopefully I’ll be able to join too, maybe sometime next year. Edit to add: I uploaded my comment before reading everybody else’s. Very happy that you’d open the series up to everyone once it was finished. 😊

Psychotherapist Reacts

Yes! Of course since I appreciate everyone while also providing enough value for those willing to pay more :)

Jeffry L Manion

A newsletter would be nice. Since I'm on a fixed income 5 dollars is all I can afford.

$20 might be a stretch, but I love the idea as long as it does not conflict with your job as a psychotherapist! I do not play sports, but Ping Pong the Animation and Hikyuu!!! made me want to play ping-pong, and volleyball.

Hello, I just started following you on YouTube and didn’t realize I need to have a subscription to suggest an anime. I’m not currently in a position to upgrade to paid membership on Patreon but I still wanted to suggest you watch the anime GOSICK even if you don’t react to it. GOSICK is my favorite anime but I never see/hear people talk about it, judging by your reactions to The Apothecary Diaries (which I enjoy) I think you’ll really like GOSICK. Sorry I can’t pay for a subscription right now but I hope things get better soon so you’re able to make more of a profit!

Psychotherapist Reacts

Welcome :) anyone can suggest but the paid members recommendations are prioritized, appreciate you for joining
