Content

I’m sorry I couldn’t get these done in time! I’ve been filming non stop while taking adequate breaks and it wasn’t possible~ but no worries!

Even if you are NOT resuming your subscription for next month, the videos listed above will be available for the public on our Patreon so you will still have access!

With my upcoming break in November, I am taking a hard look at my releases because I feel like I physically pushed myself too hard this month but on a personal level I feel as though I did not put out enough videos this month.

I need a third party perspective, specifically from you the Patrons because I cannot be unbiased against looking at myself.

I feel as though I really failed you all this month and didn’t schedule enough videos, but now I am confused by my math and I’m wondering: did I put out more this month than last year even?

It feels as though I never have time for a personal life and just reacting too much but when I’m at work I feel as though I never react to enough.

I think by my math I reacted to around 100+ ish videos this month but I’m not even sure if that is a good or bad amount in my Patron’s eyes.

I think I need to cap my filming per month because I just push myself too hard. Or maybe not enough! Maybe 100+ is less than what I used to do but I just need to take a break? So that’s why I need feedback.

Of course if you want a refund because content is late I 100% understand, DM us and we’ll issue it. I should have just taken the month off to give myself time to pack 🤷🏻‍♀️ it’s my mistake and I promised too much content but I’ll make it right 😊

Happy Halloween 🎃

Also I don’t think you published too little content this month! It just feels like some groups are prioritized over others which I get, because they do bring in a lot of Patrons for you. But I wish there was equal attention payed to everyone? Idk if that makes sense 😭

Nataly Granda

Thank you! Rest well today. Also I think it is not about the amount of content you put out but the amount of content you promise. I think it is better for u to keep the bonus drops a secret until you post them, so like that you won't feel pressured to upload them with a deadline.

tanasia

i personally feel very satisfied with this months drops compared the past few (3?) months!! thank you for your hard work

Fany O

Honestly I was every happy with this month’s schedule. You been doing great and releasing a lot. Hope you enjoy your break and get enough rest!

Liv

Happy Halloween! I can never complain about receiving a lot of content, and while I may throw in requests a lot—there is objectively SO MANY VIDEOS PUSHED OUT, I think it may be too much bc it may be cool in the moment but the effort work takes really catches up without you noticing and all of the sudden no one knows why they’re burnt out;;I think prioritizing a better balance and state of mind will ultimately be better for quality of reactions and give better endurance for the month of content, while this might mean some of my favs aren’t on the board I will still advocate for a moderation of videos

rockthekazb0t

The problem isn't that you don't put out enough videos - it's that people want too much from ONE person. I feel like the "customer satisfaction" was much higher back a few years ago, when you did 20% (or even less!) of the output you have now - because you actually had time to read and respond in length to comments under each video and that's what people craved, the personal connection and deep conversations. But because it's impossible for you to do that nowadays, people just substitute that need with asking for more and more videos instead. Spreading you thinner and thinner.

Rebecca Le Minh

I'm very satisfied with Patreon drops!! Honestly the only thing I'm really missing is Kulture Studies. Many groups have come back and I really hope we can get some catchup reactions even as like one video with past two comebacks!! (E.g, Cravity who came back in March and in September) Other than that, we got SO much content this month; I loved it. Have a good break in November!

ethan

There was definitely a good amount of content considering you didn’t take the first and last week off. Here’s how I would schedule content going forward if I was on Street Team -5 videos Monday, Tuesday, Thursday(evening releases so you have morning to yourself and rest of day to film) -Wednesday is bonus drops/day off(3-4 releases?) -Friday is for documentaries/concerts/PD’s picks It would come out to around 100 or so depending on how much you check in bonus drop days. Hope this helps with ideation going forward!

Hrathen

Honestly? I kinda feel like there's been a bunch of unscheduled videos being released instead of the scheduled ones? Or maybe they are reuploads idk. Obv youtube reaction videos would require extensive editing on your part. I cant speak for variety content reaction as they are pure reactions so at least to me the ones on schedule seems a lot more doable in terms of how much work a person can get done within a single work day. If you feel like its still too much content to upload, cut back more? Honestly would like to see more Youtube MV reactions/listening parties as that takes more of your insights and I come out feeling more educated.

Marcel Wannieck

I feel like you should have had a better schedule for your bonus drops than "whenever I have some time". Because that just ended in you having to cram all the bonus drops into the last few days of the month instead of spreading them out like you probably intended. My suggestion: set aside a dedicated bonus drop day every week. I think you used to do that at one point? Other than that I feel like the amount of content on Patreon was probably good? I don't know, I don't watch variety so I'm not the best judge of that. However, the main issue is once again Youtube. It's good that you finally returned to public uploads after disappearing for two months without a word. But you kinda just dropped 11 videos and disappeared yet again. That was three weeks ago. And all while you're still sitting on around 40 unlisted Kulture Study reactions. Is it because you're still missing thumbnails for those? Surely there has been a street team application of someone who can make those thumbnails for you so you don't have to worry about it as much. At least I hope there's someone who can help with that. You need to be more consistent on Youtube is what I'm saying. This might sound like stupid business talk but these repeated unannounced hiatuses are doing severe damage to the public perception of the Form of Therapy brand. I've seen the comments, people are not happy. At least put out a community post if you’re gonna disappear for another month!

Tesa
>>121123203

I agree! There were so many videos yet it feels like I watched very little of it because not everything interested me. Which of course is normal and I don't think it's possible to cater to one person's taste, but I never felt this in the months before. Maybe it was the way videos were released?

Sunny

I just joined again the Patreon, and seeing the releases: I'm definitely happy about the content drop you did this month.... I was glad you could finally catch up to some new stuff. I hope you will stay with dropping this much content (+/-, ofc more is always a treat for us, but a little bit less would still have been enough for us ) the only thing I just want is : consistency. And this month (schedule) really showed this. I hope after the whole moving to LA calmed down we can go back to this schedule. And PLEASE also react to things you want, you are interested. I LOVE these kinds reaction. For example when you watch a MV and suddenly you also want to watch a Live stage (for example) , PLEASE do it. These type of reactions are always SOOOO fun to watch. Bec you can see that you are having fun. So while, considering what WE want to watch - it's YOUR reaction channel. 🩵

ThatPatreonThough

Personally, I wouldn’t mind if you cut back on variety content to be able to react to more Music Videos for YouTube. While we do appreciate the extra content, I think that’s what most people that signed up for your Patron wanted: Extra content. But it’s not really extra content anymore, it’s the main content. There have been so many releases that you haven’t gotten a chance to react to because I think you have just so much other content to get to. Even now, when you do a music videos reaction, it’s always more well known groups from bigger companies or ones that have a lot of hype. You used to react to smaller, lesser known groups alongside those bigger releases and it was really nice to see that variety. EDIT: I remember you mentioned in a reaction that “your work was done” in regards to kpop reaction videos and how they’re all such high quality productions now than when you started reacting, but that’s only partially why people watched your reactions. Yes, we love your insight and critiques but the part you’re forgetting (or have forgotten) is that we actually enjoy watching your reactions, even if it’s you watching in awe, in silence, for a minute or so. It’s the sharing of music and groups we all enjoy. When we see you fanboy out over a song or video or member, SAME! It’s the community part of Kpop that brings people back to your videos (and to the Patreon).

yventually
>>121123203

Yes I think it’s the way they were released that was strange… someone above commented that videos that weren’t scheduled/on the bonus drops list were randomly published? And it felt like there was so much variety compared to actual MV and album listenings but that could just be me…

ThatPatreonThough
>>121124889

Like, maybe don’t react to 4 anime at once or more than 1 Kdrama at a time. Maybe do a monthly poll for what variety shows should be reacted to that month. Pick a few you’re interested in and then patrons vote on what to watch. (Can be separated by boy group and girl group, for balance purposes).

Marcel Wannieck

This is something I said last year and I'll say it once again: don't be afraid to reduce the overall amount of content you put out! I don't have an overview of your variety content but you're doing three Kdramas and FIVE Animes simultaneously. Excuse my French but that is batshit fucking insane. Not even Filmbuff, a Youtube and Patreon reactor who ONLY reacts to TV shows and animes, does this many shows at the same time. And the one other Kpop reactor I support on Patreon can only manage one drama at a time. Please just consider going down to two Kdramas and three animes at most. You didn't use to have such an insane workload. So when a show runs out, just let it run out. Don't immediately replace it. And then you'll also have more time to catch up on Youtube.

aileen

No Baekhyun yet 😭 I will keep waiting and hoping! I think you released lots this month compared to others! Compared to last year? I feel that it was different content. Last year we had more Kulture Study videos from a wide variety of groups which generated a lot of good discourse and info sharing. I agree with others in the thread when I say you put out enough videos!

Tesa

There was a lot of content, but to be honest, I am not a fan of the way they are released. The 2 uploads in the morning and evening, especially with different timezones, didn't feel satisfying if that makes sense? I also personally prefer when a specific variety series is released on the same day. For example, Detective Jiwoong was sometimes released on a Thursday, sometimes Tuesday, and it's hard to keep track and look forward to, so releases seem random, especially with the one-off variety shows. Drama & Anime Club felt like the only consistent content that came out this month. Additionally, the lack of reaction to comebacks and listening parties was a bit of a let down. Once the street team is set up, as a patron, I would love to see more content related to a comeback - pre-release MVs, B-side MVs, a dance practice, a live stage, and 2-3 extra videos (variety, relay dance, etc). Only saying all this because you asked for feedback! Hope the move goes well 😊

yuyu

I think the problem it's that it's almost always the same groups but in different programs and content, maybe do other groups for bonus content. For example regular content: txt in this txt inthat; bonus content: txt song txt interview txt other content, so it's like 6 videos of the same group on the same month sometimes even more; maybe check out other groups too put them in bonus content, do a special each month with a different group. I get that this groups have a lot fans here but other groups deserve some time too. I hope you can take in consideration my coment. Thank you for this month. Have a good moving. 👍

Debo W

I will be real honest for me it has never been the number of videos released each months (it reached a point of way too much a WHILE ago), it's more about the contents put as "it will be released this month" and finally no ? The big majority of the bonus announced at the beginning of the months weren't posted until the last days/hours of the month. Some still aren't. But in the meantime new Bonus video were added to the list while some new ones where posted out of nowhere Because people pay for what's written on the monthly post, if something isn't posted and something else is posted instead, then it become a false promise and despise the HUGE amount of videos posted, it still feels like something missing. Which is sad because, yes you ARE overworking yourself badly already :/

Sarahvtae

Overall i'm pretty happy with the amount of content, that you've uploaded this month. A lot of ppl have mentioned it already...but the main "concern" is still: the music. There are so many comebacks, debuts etc. from the last few years, that you've never gotten to. And it feels like, you never react to smaller groups anymore. Also...you still don't post on the "community" tab on youtube, if smth happens, or you need to inform ppl about smth (f.e. longer breaks between uploads). Ntm...there's still like 40+ Kulture studies, that you haven't made public yet. I understand, that you probably still need thumbnails for those...but i guarantee you...the ppl on yt would much rather see the reactions now, than wait for a thumbnail just to make it look prettier😅

Samy

I personally was semi satisfied I just felt like even know the bonus drop list you mentioned isn’t complete and there was so many random drops that weren’t even scheduled when people paid for what was on the schedule + bonus drops that was promised so that’s disappointing. I just feel like you need to condense the schedule a lot to the point you can fulfill it otherwise it’s been the same problem each month of cramming and getting rushed content at the end of the month. It’s not fair when people paid for what’s on the schedule and they’re aren’t getting it but random drops, also we definitely need more updates like where are the 1k+ videos that disappeared and like what can be restored? There’s sooo many videos missing that once again people subscribe for but it’s not there. Just please do schedules that are completable comfortably on your part and actually finish them. YouTube subscribers are also not happy, once again they deserve an update still.

Violet Joo

I am going to be honest. I think the amount of content is really good but for some reason I don't come to watch your content as much as I did in the past. I really thought that you were really different to other reactors and that's what I loved it. But now it just feels like you are just like other reactors and there's nothing that stands out. I loved your podcasts, your live streams and the kulture study but now it just reacting to this and that content. I really think that you do a lot of content that sometimes you can't do some original content anymore. As someone said we like consistency. So we don't need many content but just consistent content. And I really want to say that you don't need to make everyone happy and satisfied. YOU should be happy with what you are doing cuz there's were you shine the most. When YOU like something so much that mnakes us feel that. Well this is just my opinion and I really hope you really find a balance and don't feel like you have to satisfy all your patreons (including me and what I am saying ^^;)

laelia

Personally, my bread and butter is Kulture Studies. I appreciate all the variety of content you put out, but that’s really what I subscribed for. I kind of prefer that to anything else, and I wish more time was taken for that above all else but ofc that’s just a personal preference of mine. If anything, I’d prefer less of everything else and more SCHEDULED Kulture Studies like before, that way I know if I want to stay subscribed or not.

Tesa
>>121123203

No, you're totally right! I would much prefer full comeback reactions over some variety too

Annika

I think maybe it'd be better to not release a whole list of bonus drops and keep it more of a "secret"? Or only releasing what bonus drops you'll be releasing after you filmed them bc this way people will still be super happy when bonus content drops but you dont have to pressure yourself to put it all out in time and it wouldnt be the end of the world if you cant manage to film them all in that month. Most people dont even expect that many videos & are only dissappointed bc you promise them something and those promises arent being kept. I just think the way you posted the bonus drops list under your schedule was a bit chaotic, you did say you would release them whenever you have time, so people knew that but everyone still kept looking at the list and asking for the ones who werent released yet every other day and then sometimes you put out other stuff that wasnt even on there so the lack of consistency this month was probably a bit confusing for people. In general I was very happy with the content you put out this month, you definitely dont have to feel like it wasnt enough, people need to remember that you're just one person and that you cant react to everything! Personally I would've loved if there were a bit less bonus drops but a few more kulture studies of recent comebacks or just comebacks that you missed (like the cravity cbs in march & then september, oneus last cb, rocket punch etc.. just in general you just stopped reactingt a bunch of smaller groups you always reacted to in the past) and like just on the side I'm honestly a bit surprised its taking this long for u to react to loossemble or also chuus solo (& heejin just put out her solo as well) considering you're such a big loona fan 😅 or the post boy planet groups like tiot, toz & now onepact, but honestly I'd never complain bc you're doing so much. Anyway enjoy your break, pls rest well. Looking forward to the hanbin pre-debut dance videos hehe

flowerbit

This months amount of videos was satisfactory to me. I felt like the balance of drama club/anime, variety, listening parties, and bonus drops was pretty equal. And in my opinion, 100 videos is a large amount. And I think it’s worth the price of membership to ME. I don’t always have a lot of content from my favorite groups etc, but it’s still sufficient to me. And I’m looking forward to the loossemble stuff soon btw!! I’m sure you’ll love it. Heejin just had her comeback/debut today, and that was exciting as well

Sarahvtae

Also personally my biggest concern...is the fact, that there's still so many dramas, that need to be re-uploaded/fixed. Ntm...a lot of videos have disappeared lately and there hasn't been any statement about that (as far as i know). An example would be your "My Name" reactions...i could swear, that you've reacted to it, but there's no sign of it on your patreon anymore😅 Also...talking about drama club in general: I think, you should consider another system. I remember there was a short period of time, where you used to binge-watch a drama and it was much easier to keep up with posting etc. I feel like you should bring this system back. This way you can actually post more regularly and it will probably be easier for you too, if you finish a drama within a few days. Not only will you be able to keep up with the plot easier...but i also noticed, that you guys often say stuff like "i wanna watch the next episode immediately" after a reaction...and you'd be able to do that😅 I mean...you guys started watching AoS AGES ago...and you only now reached season 2. That's kinda crazy if you ask me😅 But also...this way you'd be able to get through WAY more dramas and watch a wider variety of dramas in general. Cause you only seem to react to the most popular one's...which is fine! BUT there's a lot of gems within the "lesser known" dramas too. I mean...just look at your latest post, where you guys were asking for drama requests...i saw at least 50 different shows there😅

Sarahvtae
>>121124889

i disagree😅 those that are here for drama/anime club...get the bare minimum of content tbh. Especially since we pay for the highest tiers. I don't think, that cutting back on dramas and animes would be a fair thing to do.

ThatPatreonThough
>>121124889

Maybe tiers should be reevaluated then. I’m currently an Autumn tier. I enjoy all the anime and Kdramas being reacted to, but if the amount being reacted to is stopping PD from being able to react to what brought most of us here, maybe a change is necessary. And it would be a general cutting back. Anime, Kdrama, variety, etc. so that the YouTube can get more focus. Even cutting just 1 from each frees up a few extra hours of recording time. Also, drama/anime club is a small subsection of what PD reacts to. What brought most of us here was Music, specifically Kpop. The focus should be that. Anime and Kdrama reactions are extras on a channel that doesn’t specialize in those types of reactions, so it’s not really “correct” to want more and call this “the bare minimum” when they were literally only added because PD was interested in doing them.

Julia
>>121125439

PD has talked about doing other group content and he said that he’s gonna do content on groups he wants to do… cause there’s literally so many groups and obviously he can’t do them all. I know this is a heavily split opinion on the patreons, but I understand where PD is coming from when he said “he wants to react to something he wants to react to” and not just filming it to just to please the viewers and just becomes “work” where he can’t enjoy it.

Gigi
>>121124889

terrible idea! people pay $20 for anime and kdramas while others only pay $10 or 15$ at most

tanasia
>>121124076

i do believe it was mostly reuploads of lost links/fixing old groups masterlist

Sarahvtae
>>121126264

Also can i just say: A lot of these comments are mentioning "cutting back on dramas and animes". And that's a giant NO from me. Y'all need to understand, that we're paying a lot of money for these 2 tiers. BUT a big chunk of what's supposed to be in summer/autumn tier is still unavailable. And also...it's not like we're getting 3 dramas/5 animes per month...we're getting like 4 episodes per month. Some of these shows have been ongoing for AGES. So cutting back on them would be seriously unfair towards the patreons, that subscribe towards those 2 tiers.

Violet Joo
>>121124889

I am also an autum tier and to be real some kdramas take soo long to be finished. I wish maybe cut a drama and instead finish it in maybe a month or two. Like prison playlist is taking almost forever.

ThatPatreonThough
>>121124889

You can pay $15 for anime and drama club. $20 is for early access. And PD only started out reacting to like 3 anime but it’s now 5. PD needs to cut back on something and this isn’t an anime/Kdrama reaction channel. It makes the most sense for PD to cut at least 1 anime and 1 Kdrama. And then do polls on variety shows for the month. You quite literally can choose to not pay anymore. But most people are here for music related content, and if anime/Kdrama/variety shows are getting in the way, they should rightfully be cut down.

Gigi
>>121126264

they started hxh over a year ago but they’ve only gotten through 1/3 of the show😭 like atp it would take them 3 years to complete which is insane

yuyu

I was waiting for the Oneus LP for bonus drop this month I subscribed again in October just for this and drama club, I will see if there is some news about this before paying again on Nov or dic.

Sarahvtae
>>121126264

Yeah i mean...they started watching Alchemy of Souls 6+ months ago. It has 30 episodes in total...but they still have 1/3 to go😅 Atp i wonder if it's even fun to watch it at that pace...i can't imagine it would be. Not only do you miss/forget so many smaller details about the plot etc. but it also disrupts the whole flow of watching a show.

ThatPatreonThough
>>121124889

EXACTLY, Violet! Cutting doesn’t mean the timeline will stay the same. Maybe with just 1 Kdrama or just 2 anime per month, PD can do drops more than once a month for the shows, so we’d get through them faster.

Gigi
>>121124889

yeah i agree that it should be like 3 anime and 1/2 kdramas but even if most people are here for kpop, anime/kdrama fans are still paying more.. so pd can’t just put that to the side. i honestly think they just need to cut back on reactions overall because 100+ reactions is an insane amount for a singular month

ThatPatreonThough
>>121126264

We’re getting like 4 episodes a month though BECAUSE it’s 3 drama/5 anime. If it was cut to 1 drama/2 anime (or 2/3), we could probably get through the shows much MUCH quicker, instead of having to wait MONTHS for a spot to open up for something new.

ThatPatreonThough
>>121124889

I’d honestly be interested in seeing what the tier breakdown is, because, yes, individually you (and me) may be paying more but if most people aren’t paying more for that content, then the demand isn’t there to justify not catering to what the majority would want, which in this case wouldn’t be anime/Kdrama content.

Debo W
>>121125536

The October Bonus list has 40-50 video... it's SO MUCH. It's an INSANE amount of video and an insane amount of pressure on your back. On top of that some are BIG bonus content (Listening parties for ex). And because they are publicly writen as "October content" you HAVE to post them or people will feel like they payed for false advertisement and ask for it over and over again at the end of the month 10 Bonus video MAX publicly announced per months is a "small" amount but at least it's humanly possible to film them over the month T^T Then because few are fixed and publicly announced, you can take time to watch and post Bonus reactions directly linked to a current interest, something you absolutely want to watch, something directly linked to a recent LP, or something like that. Something less forced and in the flow of your own interest "Announced Bonus Drops" could be for exemple the one you feel more obligated to release (bc you missed a cb, or missed a huge event, or a big video).

laelia
>>121125639

Also, thinking on it, I feel like because there is so much content, it is being spread thin throughout the tiers. I feel that price should be reevaluated..

Sarahvtae
>>121126264

Nope. 1. Not everyone likes the same drama. Which is why they have multiple at once, so that there's at least something for everyone. 2. They would still only keep it at 1 episode per week UNLESS they changed their entire system (which i mentioned in my original comment). 3. There is no guarantee, that they'll post more frequently just because there's less variety. So instead of getting more, we'd be getting less. 4. The amount of dramas isn't the problem. The schedule is. They could easily react to f.e. 2 episodes per week...which would already be double the amount. But they don't. 5. Y'all need to stop acting as if they genuinely have a hard time getting to all of these things...this is their full-time job. A lot of reactors are able to post WAY more even tho they still have "normal" jobs on the side. It shouldn't be that hard to be a little bit more disciplined. 6. They'd easily be able to get through 2 full dramas within a month...IF they'd schedule/organise it properly. But they don't. And that's the problem. Not the amount of dramas they do at once. (Sorry if i sound mean. These things frustrate me a lot, since those problems have been going on for ages now.)

mm

I personally think you're doing way to much and there needs to be a better balance between your "core content" (Kulture Studies, LPs, variety series,...) and all the the extra stuff. It's a bit frustrating to wait for months for certain comebacks, especially if they were already announced (like the remaing Kiss Of Live MVs for example). My ideal scenario: Cut 50% of your output, promise/announce even less, put your focus your "core content" and be up to date with recent comebacks. And only once you have all of that under controll do extra content and suprise us with bonus reactions.

tanasia
>>121123444

nothing too drastic, it’s just that compared to previous months, the videos that were scheduled for a certain time actually came on time. it was a reoccurring issue, especially last month, of promised videos not coming out when they were scheduled. this month it was pretty consistent and i really liked the “two videos in the morning, two videos later” format.

Brianna

I've been a longer time viewer here on patreon and on YouTube. After seeing a few comments here I mostly agree, the amount of content is a lot, which for some is great. But personally for me what I come here for is the Kulture Studies. I love hearing your personal input into new debuts, comebacks, ect. Especially since you're never consistent anymore with uploading them to YouTube. It'd be nice if you could focus more on the main content we all intially watched you for, The Kulture Study, then took on bonus content or group variety for groups you personally want to check out more of rather than trying to please everyone. Sometimes less is more in some cases.

Tesa
>>121125365

Of course! Thank you for listening and even asking for feedback 😊

Debo W
>>121125536

If you want to take a step further, with the help of the street team (because it's a HUGE work) it could be a good idea to release a doc/sheet summerizing publicly the content already seen, the one planned to be seen in the month, those, and those in stock for someday (or a patreon post idk) (But maybe it's just me loving docs and sorting stuff, and everything) Anyway, in the end, the calendar is really good and well made and it's really good that you have days with nothing fixed to have time for you or have time to catch up a delay. Those are already a HUGE amount of content But Bonus drops are what they are : "Bonus". They shouldn't be a huge amount of pressure and work on your back. 40+ videos announced on TOP of the calendar is insane

Bella

Happy Halloween 🎃 Rest well PD and Blaire!!!

RobotoMon

Honestly, I wouldn't mind having you pull back on patreon content so that you can focus more on catching up on content.

RoNNieTP

I feel like you guys are doing too much on “Bonus contents” to satisfy many viewers suggestion… Bonus drops are nice and it’s great to have variety of contents but it really affects your regular content and ruins your regular schedule way too much. And with increasing amount of Bonus contents, some viewers may still not satisfied. “Hey, how about this video? How about this group? When are you going to check out this song?”. Having to keep your promises to viewers really put the pressure on both of you guys and ruin your worklife balance. My suggestion is to strengthen your regular schedules first. Keep the shows you watched at an adequate amounts, not too low or too high. If you think you are ready enough to add another show to the schedule then add it. Bonus drops is “Bonus”, you don’t have to promise viewers anything that you will check out this or that. Don’t make any promises at all. And you should focus on Kulture studies, the thing that make a recognition for your channel instead of bonus drops. Also, you can’t satisfy everyone, there will be viewers who complain why you don’t check out this or that but it’s bound to happen. They will realize that you aren’t what they want for and leave you for other creators. That’s fine, you still keep your strong core viewers who know what to expect from you and what show you watched. Focus on certain areas of customers and do a great job with it instead of try to cover an entire field and do a terrible job. Conclusion for my suggestion: 1. Focus on regular releases first 2. Stop making a promise to release anything to anyone just because. 3. Bonus drops are Bonus, not something you have to focus to satisfy every requests 4. Kulture studies should come before Bonus drop.

I think more focus on the main drops (DRAMA/ANIME club, Kulture Studies, Variety show content for groups you actually care about) should be the priority. I was happy with the amount of content this month, and it was a lot, but a lot seemed delayed and late. I think for your sake and ours (as most of us are here for that core content, not the bonuses even though they are amazing additions!) you should prioritise getting the main content out above all and then, if you’re up to it and depending on your personal schedule, drop bonus content. But no promising of bonus content because that seems to become a burden for you and unintentionally impact the other reaction times too. I’ve enjoyed your content this month, and am looking forward to the future. Good luck with the moving, and I hope Blaire’s pregnancy is going well :) Happy Halloween 🤍

Totally agree with everyone in the comments. I think as much as I appreciated such bonus content, it took away from the main scheduled content we were supposed to get. I was also slightly frustrated with the delays and last minute changes with drops. I understand we’re human and really don’t blame u, but I think having a system that works to fix those issues is needed. I think bonus content got in the way and in all honesty although it covered a variety of content it didn’t cover a variety of groups. I feel like the bonus content was also based around groups we already see you cover. I was hoping for some new content (TBZ has great extra content, kiss of life had great content, groups we haven’t seen on ur channel as much as the regular stray kidz and txt and others). I think we should slow down on bonus and if we do them we need to make sure other content is prepped. Plus would love to see u check out new groups even if it’s just bonus. I understand that we can’t satisfy everyone but personally it’s been tough waiting for the few new content we were getting this past month and having some of them even delayed. I hope you get a great rest and hopefully take some time for urself and do what u love.

I really want to see more Kulture Studies the most. I love seeing other people's reactions to a new song/MV. I think a lot of other people here want to see more Kulture Studies too. I'm assuming Patreon provides analytics on which content of yours is getting the most views/interactions - if so, maybe it could help you balance monthly content. Instead of posting a lot of different content every month, you could focus on the content that is popular (and content you enjoy). So if you post 100 videos and 50% of them make up for the majority of the views/interactions, you could prioritize posting more of the content that the majority want (the 50%) and cut out some of the other content. Then you would reduce your workload while keeping most happy. You could then do bonus drops for some of the less popular content if time permits. But your first priority should be making content that you want to make! You don't have to make a lot of content if the workload is too much, or if you aren't able to enjoy it. As long as you don't put it on the schedule, you have no obligation to post that content :)

Angie

Honestly i prefer the consistent variety shows (run bts, gose, to do, treasure map, monsta x ray, etc). The random drops sometimes aren't my favorite videos but with the variety shows, i know what's coming and what to look forward to. I don't like a lot of idol human theaters. I'd rather have the specific group variety shows. You said you liked cravity and i think you'd like cravity park. Same with monsta x ray, but that was randomly dropped (though i know you said it wasn't a guarantee).

Ashley

Like a lot of other people said, I think focusing on content that YOU like to do consistently as “core content” (comebacks, MVs, variety shows, etc) is what a lot of people have a subscription for. Bonus drops will probably satisfy a large group of people, but only once. I think a lot of people subscribe to see you react to their fav groups consistently but also because YOU enjoy your favorite groups. I like watching you as a reactor because it feels like you’re an actual fan like us and watching these comebacks and enjoying with us. When things come weeks later, it feels more like watching someone who has a job or obligation to do. The best videos of yours to watch is when you’re happy and gladly enjoying the videos :)

omg sorry for the random comment but are you the same person subbed to geeked out nation too? small world haha

renjun fan

I think you take on too many groups PD, there is so much content for every group and I think you would find yourself enjoying reacting way more if you stuck to doing bonus content for a couple of your FAVOURITE groups and just kept to music videos and albums for the rest. You may lose some subscribers but ultimately making the decision to only do extra content for the groups you like a lot will allow you more time for yourself and give you time to really enjoy the content from your top groups.

Cristine

I’m not sure if PD will see this since there’s already a lot of comments. But going through what others have mentioned. It’s interesting to see how many people have the perception that Kulture studies should be the “core” of this patreon. And to me that’s just interesting?? Because if you look at the (initial) purpose of the kulture studies they are suppose to be free/promotional videos on your YouTube. Making them the core of your YouTube channel and NOT your Patreon. However, since you have been inconsistent with your YouTube posts for a while now. You have people coming to your patreon asking for kulture studies which should be a YouTube content. And are now paying to get what is suppose to be free content… Also, if you look back at how you used to do it back then. You use to just post some of your youtube videos as early access here and most would just be posted on YouTube. But now since you barely publish the videos on YouTube and just post them here, those who are already a patreon have 0 reasons to check your YouTube. And therefore have a higher expectation for you to post more kulture studies here. So TL;DR: 1. Go back to posting your kulture studies on YouTube 2. Just post early access of those that really blew your mind here and if non did. Its fine it will be on youtube 3. Most patreon account are meant to be an extension of someone’s main account with extra content. So post what you genuinely enjoy and be realistic with yourself. 4. DON’T OVERPROMISE! 5. PLS GET A TEAM😅 maybe even outsource some stuff idk. Get someone to make your thumbnails and other stuff. Also another random thing that just popped up. Here’s an unwanted tip, if you’re reacting to a video that’s 6 min long try to keep your commentary at a reasonable length. I know we all love when you guys go super deep with your commentary. But the way I see it is that the extra 1 hour long commentary took away from either the little break you could’ve given yourself or the time you could’ve invested in another group. Lol I feel like I need a tldr for my tldr 😅 Was I satisfied with the content you put out? - for me personally, absolutely! I enjoy anything you put out. Should you cut back on content? - for you to get back on track with what you want to react to and what patreon want you to react to, yes! Which content should cut back on? - I honestly don’t know. Every one wants something else and you’ll never be able to please everyone. So just do what feels right to you. If you managed to read through this long ass (probably not so relevant) comment, congrats. 😅👏🏽

Renee Alvarado

I think you should do bonus drops when YOU feel like it not us! Don’t over stress your self!

Ceyda Nur

I personally dont watch a lot of your variety content. I am more interested in drama club and kulture studies. I wish you could react to more comebacks/debuts and bonus drops like live stages, dance practices and b side mvs. I think you react to too many groups at once. It would be better to just focus on your favorite groups and what you are personally interested in.

Serena

i've been with thid patreon for a long time (around 3 years i believe) and i'm also someone who watches a bunch of content and i enjoy it all if its kulture studies, album reactions, bonus drops, variety content, drama club and anime club. in contrary what others have said i love the bonus drops tbh. but i also understand the people who want more kulture studies. and ppl say u should just focud on groups that are ur faves but i honestly think thats exactly what u are already doing? anyway i personally loved anime club this month and somehow it has become a highlight onthid patreon for me so i hope u can keep it going bc its so much fun watching anime with yall

Actually when I mention about prioritizing Kulture study instead of Bonus drops, I mean PDs should prioritize his Kulture study on Youtube first before anything. Most of subscribers here know PD from his video on Youtube. Him letting the channel to go in hiatus for months wouldn’t do any good to his channel. (Like we only had 11 videos in 3 months which released at the same time so most of them are very very late for reaction by standard.) No new kpop fans will come and watch his video thus no new people will take any interest to check out his patreons. His viewer won’t expand much if he still keep this format… Also, we need the old PD who reacted to every big and small groups.

Margreta Skjelbred

please don't forget too Oneus LP, too!!! I was waiting for the Oneus ,bonus drop this month😔❤️

Jasmine sumner

As a long term fan here, here's what I think: I am satisfied with the amount of content. I don't expect more. I think you work extremely hard but I think there needs to be more of a balance with a few things. I think the first thing is making a plan/ step forward. For example in your break month post you said you'd focus on kulture studies so on your patreon break month you could catch up on some missed cbs like oneus's, cravitys CB, Jackson Wang's releases, woodz and more. You don't have to get to everything but some things like EXOS mama and other missed cbs would be good then you wont have to worry about all these cbs stacking up and getting missed. Then after your break month you could get the street team ready and maybe have someone making your thumbnails and stuff too. Once the street team is sorted you'd have more time off and I think with the balance thing I mentioned earlier, posting on the weekdays and having the weekends off was a good step in October. I just think the content is enough it's just it needs to be more organized in the sense of maybe writing down what you react to like anime/drama, kulture studies, listening party's and thinking of how to balance it all out. Because there's been a lot of missed cbs and missed albums that were kulture study and listening party worthy. But that's not saying you have to work more and add that on top of your load. And for listening party's I had an idea: you could do a poll for listening parties. For example: write a list for that month on a poll of listening party's you're interested in from CBS you liked that month then patreons can vote for ones that should have a listening party. There could be 5 listening partys for that month or more depending on how much you pd can do that month so you don't overwork yourself. You could set a limit. Maybe 5 listening party's or maybe 7 could be anything that suits you pd. But don't overwork yourself PD. You deserve a break and rest to whenever you need. If you ever get burnout, take some time off. Go to a cafe with Blair, go for a walk in nature. Do what you need pd. You and Blair deserve it. You both work incredibly hard. And I love all the content you do. Now also with yt I think yt should be a focus rn as you took a hiatus for two month came back, dropped another 11 videos and hiatus again. I've seen the comments on the community tab and I think getting back into yt and being consistent with it would bring more people to your YouTube which would then bring more people to patreon but also means people than can't afford patreon will have yt content also as it feels like yt has been in the dark. I think the street team is a great ideas. It will help you and Blair out a lot. You will have more time to take a break and get other things organized too/have more time to focus on other stuff in your life. I think towards the end of your break in November maybe a plan for December would help. With my autism I always plan lol. And lastly I wanna say thank you pd. Thank you for getting me though these tough times. Lately had a lot of personal stuff/family stuff going on and these videos have helped me a lot. Unwinding to a patreon video is just the excitement I need when things kick off I can plug my headphones in and relax. Rn I'm watching your kingdom legendary war reactions. And If you ever read this far have a good day everyone and annyeong for now.

valeria castillo

I saw it in another reactors and I don’t know if it something PD would like, but for example they do 1 video per month with all the lives stages of the comebacks of that month or past 2 months. The another video with all the studio chooms, then 1 video with all the dance practices, etc. Which I think it’s easier, because you can use maybe 2 hours and watch all the performances as a marathon, and drop it as bonus drops. And that way you won’t missed content and also all the people in here can have a bonus drop for their favorite group or soloist Obviously the idea with this is that PD has to check prior in the Kulture study the videos

Also I paid the highest tier mostly for the kdramas. I know some people don’t like dramas, but for me the drama club with Blair and PD it’s amazing, and also it’s a space to talk about different things such as life. And I enjoyed soo much watching you guys getting excited

Ghada

I'm just here for anime and drama club honestly so as long as they keep coming with series I'm interested in then I'm happy

THANK YOU! I was thinking the same thing. Why are ppl in this comment section acting as if the Kulture Studies are the main/most important content of this patreon??? It's content that used to be free on YouTube. It was never the priority of this patreon. Variety, Live Stages, Award Shows, Listening Parties AND Drama/Anime club...THOSE are what this Patreon is for!!! It bothers me, that so many ppl are asking for the drama club reactions to be cut back...for the sole purpose of getting more Kulture Studies- Those two things should co-exist. Summer/Autumn tier Patreons aren't paying 20$/month for nothing😅 It's kind of frustrating. But also sad, how most Patreons have been made to believe, that they need to pay money, just to get regular mv reactions😞

angel313

i feel like im thinking/wanting the opposite of what a lot of other patreons want but personally im not interested in pd checking out every kpop group and every single content they have, i think thats just unrealistic to expect you to react to like 30+ different groups to satisty everyone so im fine with you reacting to just your favorite groups, it even feels better to see you react to a group that you enjoy (mostly talking about variety content or bonus drops not comebacks/debuts)

Sarahvtae

Personally i feel like you should bring back livestreams/marathons for bonus drops, live stages etc. That way you'll be able to check out a LOT of stuff within like 2-3 hours. So per month you could do like: 1x marathon for boy groups 1x marathon for girl groups 1x marathon for performances 1x marathon for new debuts 1x marathon for maybe "throwback" stuff...f.e. Old Exo stuff. That would be around 5 (maybe more) videos that are like 2-3 hours long each. With TON of content. So the rest of your time can be spent on Kulture Studies, Drama/Anime Club, Listening Parties and maybe 3-4 regular Variety shows. For Drama/Anime Club...i've made a comment about a "new" system, that could potentially help you. For Listening Parties...you could make a poll with a ton of albums and we get to vote on like 4-7 albums, that you react to per month. And for regular Variety Shows...i mean shows like f.e. GoSe, Amazing Saturday, Running Man etc. aka. shows that everyone enjoys. Shows that give a big variety of content (fun, calming, chaotic, but also sometimes makes you use your brain). This type of system would help you a LOT. It saves time. It prioritizes content, that majority of ppl can enjoy. And it allows you to not only focus on individual groups and all of their individual variety stuff...but also get to know other groups and their personalities.

I really hope, you guys read this comment. I feel like this could genuinely be helpful. And help you to get back on your feet entirely.

haugy

I think less variety content and more music would be good. Also YouTube should be a higher priority because once you posted again I noticed a lot of patrons flow in. KS and LPs I think should be the bread and butter on top of drama and anime club. Hope you get the rest you need this month

Steph

I think you upload so much content in a month but the reason why people aren't satisfied is because the content uploaded does not quite align with what you're putting on the calendar. You should only do content YOU actually want to do (whether that be the groups you like or are interested in, shows you actually wanna watch, and content styles you enjoy making), and spell that out very clearly in your monthly schedule. For example, in your twicelights reaction video you said you considered making twice a group you'd regularly react to/go more in-depth with on patreon, for any groups like that, list it out so people know that you're a Once or you're a Carat and your patreon content will contain lots of variety and extra reactions to their stuff because they're a group you like. Cutting your content by 50% might feel like you'll lose alot of your audience, but i think that if you make it very clear what will be released and when, people will appreciate the transparency, and you'll get more retention of membership.

PeterMandalorian

I've been a long-time Patreon subscriber (probably 5 years) but I would say that for the past 2 years, about 90% of the content has not been for me, I still support it because I've been able to, and personally want to help, in a way, to see you fulfill your life goals. I feel like I preferred the Kulture studies, live streams, and listening parties more, even if the output was less than now, it gave you more space to interact and discuss more and gave the feel that you covered a much wider range of releases (whether it was from big or small company groups). Now, I think if YOU prefer keeping things as they are, where you seem to give more priority to variety series and the content as it is, then I think you should stick to what you like. Still, I do agree with a lot of people here that it'd be best to adhere to the schedule as much as possible and maybe keep some bonus drops as a mystery. that way there would be fewer misunderstandings and people who want to sub on a specific month can expect exactly what the schedule says and perhaps keep the YouTube peeps updated more frequently. PS. Even though I know the horrible experience you went through with the Vimeo stuff, It'd be great to get to a point where the majority, if not all of the older content would get restored, I often go back and check stuff from groups (Ex: Loona) when I feel like they've not been a regular here anymore and I would guess a lot of people also do for other groups

Maf

Honestly PD, you should react to content you really truly enjoy. Maybe you’ll lose some patreons but at least you’re not too hard on yourself <3 just cut some content. I think what matters the most is what you feel and how is your health 😊

Lisa H

ive been an on and off Patreon member for a while now, and honestly I think you just need to reduce how many videos you do. ive noticed a pattern where you get really hard on yourself, over promise on an insane amount of content, and then cant keep up or handle the schedule and expectations you've set, then get really hard on yourself again. im a bit biased bc im only watching one anime and one drama reaction, but why not put a few of the shows on hold, especially since they take so long to watch? Or maybe cut down on some variety content? I think an issue similar to this (you overworking yourself) has come up every few months for the past year or two and it seems like its usually a result of you going through a lot in your personal life (which cant be helped) and you just not being able to deliver on all the content you planned to in a timely manner. my non expert opinion is that more consistency (so maybe fewer bonus drops or less variety) and less content overall in exchange for content either you or a lot of patrons are interested in, might make the Patreon better for everyone.

Emily Howell-Forbes

Hey PD just letting you know that the SVT god of music reaction is locked despite it being in this list of things that would be unlocked since they spilled over into November?

mati

I know most folks are here for Kulture Studies but my favorite content of yours is variety reactions. That being said, always put your health first and I think it’s okay if you put out less reactions in order to feel well.

To add to that, Kulture Studies should be your priority over on YouTube, not patreon. Patreon was always supposed to be about the bonus content, listeners parties etc. Meanwhile your YT channel has been suffering while you post you Kulture Studies here.
