Hey hey hey! Tumen here, with an update on the patreon rework we've announced a couple weeks ago. We've settled on what I think is the most sensible layout for our tiers!
We've gotten rid of the pricier tiers and decided to leave and slightly adjust the more affordable ones. As stated before, the scounting, video breakdown and article tiers will be moved to Ko-Fi and put on the commission pricelist. Our readers will be able to make a one-off commission and request those services, and we'll be able to talk about the details of the commission, how long it will take, and what we should focus on while making it.
The one big change to the patreon tiers is that all our patrons can now vote in polls to offer feedback and give us a better idea of what our subscribers want. Those will be content focus polls, general yes/no or like/dislike polls etc. Fairly straightforward, I believe.
Meanwhile, the current patreon membership tiers are as follows:
1. Fight Site Friend, $3: Largely unchanged, however access is restricted to patreon updates and alternate commentaries. Can vote.
2. Fight Site Chad, $5: This will be our flagship, "backbone" tier. Access to discord is still there, opens access to whatever exclusive podcasts we put out. Can submit questions for exclusive monthly Q&A pods in discord, and we'll pick the most interesting ones or the ones that received the highest amount of support from fellow patrons. Can vote, access to updates and commentaries retained.
3. Shady Promoter, $10: This tier retains all of the previous benefits, but at this tier whatever questions you submit are guaranteed to be answered on the Patreon podcast. Can vote, previous benefits still apply.
4. Fight Site Prospect, $20: The first big price hike. This tier allows you to reach out to staff members for detailed training advice. Staff members most active in the discord still pop in to answer questions and provide feedback, but this essentially gives you the right to pick a staff member, contact them directly, and share training footage, sparring footage or fight footage, and receive useful, actionable feedback and recommendations. Can vote. Previous benefits still apply.
5. P4P Threat, $40: The 2nd big price hike. This gives you access to all of the previous tiers' benefits, but in addition you also gain access to behind-the-scenes content that either didn't make the cut because it made the final product too long, too spicy, or just didn't match the subject matter. This can either be: convos our staff had after recording a podcast or an alternate commentary, or video outtakes. We usually tend to talk for a long, long while before and after recording our content, and those discussions usually also contain a plethora of fascinating insight or are just plain extremely funny. Can vote, previous benefits are retained.
Let us know in the comments bellow what you think about these changes, offer your thoughts, and tell us what other changes could perhaps be made. Or maybe all of this is stupid and you have a better idea.
You know what? Let's test out the voting system for this one:
