Hearts on Posts "Extremely Open and Honest Discussion " (Patreon)

Hey guys,

Special request from us to you. When we first created our page here and on youtube we never been ones to ask for subscribers likes comments etc. We occasionally will ask but I feel like the reason we don't get them is cause we don't ask. For example you might tell your partner you don't want gifts or flowers but secretly you still want them. It's the same for hearts on post.

I see many new reactors come to youtube and one that created a page this past September is well over 100k in 6 months were we still haven't got there and it's been 6 years. I feel like the channels with the most hype who gather likes comments subscribers etc bc they ask get there faster then channels that are real and genuine because it is fun for new channels then ones that been here for years.

When we first created patreon we uploaded 3 + times a week. We only had a 3 dollar tier. We uploaed all our content there for several years before adding kdramas. When we created a 5 dollar tier it was a small jump if you want that type of content but everything remained the same. Any changes currently made are to make up for having less people.

You might find a page or two free or less but the consistency and amount of videos don't amount to the thousands of videos we have here. There are pages fresh out the gate that ask for 8 to 10 and have outlandish request for 100 + or Amazon wishlist to buy them things.

I've come to notice over time there are pages who lack consistency who do this full time and have double the patreons to us all the posts get lots of hearts because maybe they are missed during that time so the "heart grows founder". Because we upload so much multiple times a day everyday maybe your sick of seeing our face or just don't have enough time to keep up with all post.

Those pages that upload less and have less overall posts get a couple 100 likes per post but also have the most on patreon. To an outsider visually people tend to follow more" liked" people. I know we are liked because although we have less patreons from most we aren't far off and they have 300k+ subs to our almost 100k.

I was either thinking of a price increase of a dollar of 2 for our main tier or if post get more likes more people would want to be apart and a price increase won't need to happen.

I feel like if anyone could increase a price after 6 years it would be us because we do have 3k videos and when we watch a kdrama we're not watching just one, we're watching several and giving multiple episodes of each. There is a wide variety of content
But for right now we are only asking you like the post so a price increase won't have to happen. There isn't an algorithm here so it's not like we will get more suggested to others by you liking you
It just looks more appeasing to others looking in. Say for example someone looks and it shows 8 likes someone will be like oh I don't want to watch that.

I have clicked in on our most recent videos and see way more people who have watched compared to the hearts on the post. If everyone who watches can like anything they click on it would look better and make us feel better. It even shows because we asked on Study Group and Trauma Code the more hearts will get more attention they both have more likes then all our recent posts.

More hearts also motivate us and we would be more inclined to watch even more than we already do. It's like today I have Rented in Finland on the calendar but only 20 people liked the post so I am feeling like I want to clean Avas room and visit my mom in the hospital then to watch the show.

I hope people don't take this the wrong way. I don't know how else to express it. I feel like we are not liked. I feel like the more we do the less we have. I feel like the more we do the more we get asked for something we aren't doing. I feel like we get asked in a way that makes it feel like we're not consistent. I feel like I notice people dropping videos if they aren't liked but we aren't doing that we still watched the unlike content because it is liked from our end. I'm not saying get it to a like goal and that's the only reason I will like it and if it doesn't dropping it because then it was never liked to begin with.

Long story short can you like our post when we upload. Can you subscribe to youtube if you haven't. Can you comment on post if you want. Can you share us kindly with others. We get so much hate on twitter as if we're they people I've discussed above like we have been the wrong ones all along.


Xoxo
