This is a post that I should have made a while ago.  

For a long time, putting together the end screen Patron credits took a really long time. I had to manually add each name, and make sure specific requests were respected. For example, using nicknames (different than Patron account), or not including a name (despite selecting the perk).

This was okay for a while, but with more supporters, it eventually became unmanageable. Now, I am doing it by exporting the names directly from Patreon. This has two effects:

1) only accounts with the perks selected will show up. If you want to support, but not show up, I think you can choose to receive no perk. You will still get access to early videos, etc.

2) there are no nicknames or name changes. 

I hope this is okay for everyone. Let me know what you think.

Buddy, I don't care what you do. As long as it's easy for you. Just make sure my name still makes it into the video. I didn't see me in the last (superconductor) video.

Dude, I support you on Patreon so you can focus on making videos and content, not spend 20M hours on inane shit to make me happy. I’m glad you found a better way to do it and I hope it works out (and if not, I can try to write some script for you to do it. For free)

Automation is always more efficient in this context, so go for it!

Im not sure if its a patreon thing and their list just messes up. . I think now, I will be posting a full name list beforehand so everyone can check.

All good mate, we're here to support you and if that means some people can't have a nick name appear on screen for a few seconds than obviously we are fine with that. Really enjoy your videos, hello from New Zealand🇳🇿

I always thought that's the way you did things 😅 So I just changed my whole login.

I do this Patreon thing just to be in the credits and I prefer to use my publically available name "Matthew Wilson" to be in the credits amd not my real name, "Matthew Wilson". So long as you get the $$$ from Patreon, then do what you see fit. :D

I think this is the right thing to do. If it saves your valuable time, then you got our support.

I mean I'm sure that time is better spent doing cool chemistry stuff anyway. Keep at it!

I don't really care if I'm on the list or not, so just do wharever is easier for you.

It's the sensible thing to do, it's a waste to spend too much time on the endscreen

It's fine with me.

I'm in the "whatever is easiest for you" camp. You educate and entertain, anything else you do is just gravy.

It's fine with me.

It's good to see the channel growing, with more and more supporters. Bravo!

If it helps at all, it would actually probably be pretty easy to make a script that automatically switches out names for nicknames. I'd be happy to put one together if it's something you'd like to try.

focus on content I say. I have no idea how creators manage the flood of comments, questions, suggestions, requests and feedback they get every time they release a video.

Love your content! Seeing my 'name' in lights, no big. But you do you. Thank you for the great vids!
