Hey guys. So unfortunately Patreon is simply not easy enough for me to keep up with. I have a very hard time staying on top of numerous things at once and every time I try, it doesn't work out well. What I NEED is a team of people I can pay; and that's a goal I'm most certainly trying to reach.
Unfortunately what this means is a large portion of the perks here are just not going to be easily possible for me as you've seen, especially $5 and upward. The behind-the-scenes stuff most certainly can happen, but it requires time for me to edit it and worry about it which I often don't have the brain capacity to do. As for $10 patrons, I am so sorry. I unfortunately just don't see hangouts or special streams being something I can just easily do; especially hangouts. With streams I have an excuse: I can work on my other work and reward you guys with that perk at the same time. So may secret streams continue? Possibly. Hangouts? So sorry guys, just don't see it happening.
I do want to real quick say I appreciate the support EVERYONE has given me so far, even to those who had to bail out. Sure I may have never exceeded 17 patrons but that's 17 PEOPLE WHO TOGETHER WOULD GIVE ME $80 A MONTH. That's no mind blowing number like a lot of Patreon people out there but I am just unbelievably honored that there's even 17 people that would go "I want my name in his video, I'm gonna give him a buck or a few". Like, y'all are crazy. Genuinely wasn't sure anyone would care, and even to those who say "I don't care for a reward, I just wanna donate"... ARE YOU NUTS? Hahaha! I can't thank you enough. That is so freaking cool.
Anyway yeah, I'm not sure I can continue with some of these perks, as easy as they seemed to be for me. I'm not ending the Patreon upon request from a couple people (you guys are so cool what the heck) but if you feel that the lack of a good $5/$10 reward is the nail in the coffin for ya, I totally get that 100%. I nevertheless COMPLETELY appreciate your support even entirely for those of you who decided to stop; $10 a month for ME? You probably don't understand how honored I am. Like seriously. Even if you only did that for like 1 or 2 months like... Geesh hahaha!
I'm basically talking in circles now. Thanks again for your support and I hope you understand. You're all still gonna have your name in my videos and you're getting my free music (whenever the heck I actually ya know, FINISH IT). ;P
