Patron Poll Results! (Patreon)

Hey everyone! I meant to get around to this sooner, but here's the results from the poll I sent out last week! In total we got 109 total responses! As of writing, that is EXACTLY one third of the current patrons! I'm not kidding. 109/327 is 0.333333 repeating. Pretty cool!

Feel free to have a look at the graphs and see what's what. I like a little bit of data analysis myself but I'm not capable of making a pivot table so you'll just have to bear with my surface level analysis XD

Below will be screencaps of the final tallies as well as short asides about what I think about the results!

Question 1:

I honestly didn't expect Dollar Doodles to still be this active. That tier has been unlisted for over a year now I think, yet they're still hanging on!  Half of respondents are on the two fifty tier, which is to be expected. There are after all, 186 patrons in that tier, making it the most subscribed by far. All of the other metrics are unsurprising, since they follow a predictable scale of distribution.

Also, I didn't expect anyone to input any custom responses on this question, but a couple did leave some. Shoutout to the madlad who put in 50/60 tier legacy, even though a 60$ tier never existed! For those of you who took the survey but somehow aren't subscribed, those BETTER be joke responses. Or else. I'm watching you. >:D

Question 2:

Looks like you guys are mostly happy with the content lately! Which is really nice to hear. I'm constantly worrying about whether or not you guys are satisfied with things, so it's a great bit of closure to know that I'm still making good stuff! I'll continue to do my best!

Question 3:

This is one question that has been bouncing around in my head for months now. Ever since I started doing more pinups I've been worried that people might be missing longer content. But by this response, it seems that I was almost completely wrong! A whopping 78% of you are entirely happy with the current spread, so I'll keep my butter knife in hand!

As for the 14% of you who do want to see longer content, I AM trying to make longer stuff, but a few things of the things I was working on got cancelled. You can definitely expect me to continue doing sequences and comics whenever I can manage it! That reminds me, I really need to get to Fayne's OC debut comic at some point... :P

Question 4:

I was REALLY looking forward to this section. I've been spreading out past just possession over the past year and I wanted to know how that affected the patron base. Looks like a lot of possession lovers are still here! Don't you worry possession people, I'll never forget my roots! I'll draw possession as long as I'm Fanter J Fane! It also looks like a lot of you are well suited for a more generalized pallet though, so for those people, please continue to eat your fill too!

Just over half of respondents said that they liked femboys and crossdressing which matches how I try to maintain a spread of 50% femboys and 50% girls in my art! (okay maybe it leans towards the femboy side but you can't change my weakness!)

Question 5:

I probably should have put a "everything" option on this question. Either way, the results from this one kinda seem like they have a "just keep doing more" attitude. It's really interesting though that NONE of the responses got more than 50%, but... I don't really know what to make of that XD

As for the poor 21% of skinsuit lovers, sorry guys but you get antagonized on the next question XD

Question 6:

Hehe... Yeah you can probably tell I messed up on this question, I should have left a "I DON'T want ANY less of ANYTHING" option on it! Ehhhh oh well. Thanks to everyone who left something to that degree in the empty field. I read ya loud and clear!

What really interested me was that 33% of responses are for LESS skinsuit stuff?? Really?? I don't even draw much skinsuits! (even though I want to-) I just didn't know skinsuits were that disliked, almost as much as furries are, which speaking of- 39% of respondents are pushing back against furry content. All I have to say is sorry guys, but I AM partial to a bit of anthropomorphism, so you'll have to excuse me when I draw furry characters from time to time. I'll never be a 100% furry artist though, you have my word on that!

Question 7:

This is another question I was really wondering about. Interaction with my patrons tends to be a little few and far between, and this explains part of the reasons why.  40% straight up don't use the discord server. For those of you who don't use it, maybe I can persuade you by saying that everything gets posted to the PATREON-ONLY section of the discord server first before the Patreon website proper? Only reason why is cause it's stupid easy for me to just drop an image in the chat after I've finished it.

For the rest of you that do use the discord though, thank you! I do try to manage it as best as I can. And if the lurkers are willing, feel free to pop into the VC and say hi! I'd love to chat! That being said, I totally understand if you prefer to lurk. If you can though, I would really appreciate it if you could at least post to a chat from time to time? Just one! I promise I don't bite >:D

Question 8:

I didn't really know what to expect from this question, but it was aimed to solve a conundrum in my head. One of the main benefits in the Patreon tiers is the request streams, where you guys get to submit requests and I choose some from the pile to do on stream. However, it always amazed me how few requests there were compared to patrons, I believe the maximum we've ever gotten on one stream is like... 20? Which is not much compared to the amount of patrons who COULD be requesting.

Not that I mind, mind you! It makes it easier for me to sift through them. Still, it made me wonder if there are people who actually just didn't know they existed, and it looks like there are! 8 people said they had no idea. Well, now they know!

I am glad to see that those who don't watch/request probably still enjoy the content from them. I remember back when I first started doing these, I would get ALL the requests done, now that's a pipe dream XD. There's a LOT more I want to say about this one, and the future of the request streams in general, but I've already said a lot, so I'll save it for later.

Question 9:

There's almost a 50/50 spread on this question! Amazing! I didn't really know how many of you liked the polls. I try to do at least one a month, even though sometimes I'm not able to. I'll always let you guys know when I won't be able to do one in a given month! For those of you who don't feel strongly about it, I dunno really what to say. Clicking the button is at least fun, right? ...right? Don't like clicking buttons? Okay. That's fine. I'm not crying, I've j-just got allergies...

In all seriousness, you don't have to vote if you don't want to. That does bring in to question how many respondents who regularly vote on polls participated in this survey though... And also how many of respondents who don't regularly vote but took this survey anyway...? Either way, they've made up for any time they didn't vote by taking the time for this survey!

That's all of the itemized questions, the rest are free written responses. I'll keep those to myself though, I could do a showcase but I think enough has been discussed already. I'd rather not single any specific responses out either. However, 95% of them were positive though, and I've read every single one! Some of them even made me THINK! You can be sure I'll be turning back to these responses every time I'm feeling down for a little pick me up, to remind me of those who support me ^^

If there's anything I didn't cover/an observation you made, feel free to leave it in the comments! It's very likely I'm missing something obvious, so it'd be nice if you could help me out!

Finally, thanks for participating in the survey! It really helped me out a lot, every single response. There are 300 patrons on here, but I've only spoken directly to a few dozen, so I am endlessly curious to know what the silent ones are thinking! Thanks again! <3 XOXO
