Hello everyone!

We wanted to inform you about a change that will go into effect on November 3. After a long consideration of current events and economical climate, we have decided to adjust the cost of our subscription.

⚠️ Existing patrons are NOT affected by this change! ⚠️

Please know that our existing patrons are not affected by this change. If you are a patron right now (or if you become a patron by Nov 3), your price will remain the same as long as your subscription is active.

Our Patreon page was created in 2016, and it has been thrilling to see it grow and learn useful tips from all of you on how to be better creators, how to use our influence to make the world a little kinder, a little less lonely, and how to communicate with our community responsibly and with transparency. And this is why our message comes your way today.

While we are forced to adjust prices so we can continue to cover the costs of running the channel daily, we wanted to make sure that no further cost is incurred by our current patrons, who stood by us through multiple trials and tribulations.We thank you sincerely for all of your support, whether it has been financial, or social (by commenting, sharing, and engaging with each other in our comment section), or emotional (by giving us words of encouragement and appreciation). We truly would not be able to keep doing this without you guys. Much love and gratitude,

~ The Normies

M.

Gotta get that bread. But now there's no excuse for "not finding a version with subs" when it comes to live action movies etc, you can finally afford blu rays!! Congrats.

KingRath

Oof I get it but I may have to pass for awhile lol

SpeedyCat19

Now I can never change tiers again 😅

Ol' Yellow Eyes

Your prices go up yet your quality drops. "GPU Acceleration needed for this effect"

s4ean

I think I understand the announcement, but why does the graphic show "9/3". What's the significance of that date?

VampZ Moriarty

Give me more money is never a good sign for growing creators but hi good luck!!

Chris

Hopefully you can cut down on anime and do more live shows and movies

Doc Anime!

Now I gotta start subscribing every two or three months like I do blindwave lol

The Normies

sorry about the typo, we meant 11/3. the prices will officially be changed on november 3rd.

Sickleweed

I get it, everything is more expensive these days so I totally understand. Thank you for keeping the prices the same for current subscribers: you have brought me so much joy and laughter I would've gladly given up one coffee or boba drink for you a month so I'm glad I don't have to. I appreciate that!

Sickleweed

Some people probably subscribe just for their anime reactions so that would be a disservice to them.

SergeTroy

Are you able to speak even obliquely to the “current” events you mentioned? Full disclosure I myself am divorced from a lot of crap with my worries farmed out on 4 and occasionally 5 others, so understand I’m asking honestly. I also try my best to avoid the news because it’s been bad too long, adds to my anxiety, and I know damn well I won’t vote Republican.

KingRath

Definitely a typo

The Normies

in short, everything costs way more than it did in 2016. we want to make sure that our employees are compensated for their time, skills and effort in a way that makes their lives well lived. as well as any purchases we have to make to replace obsolete or broken equipment, it's just a lot more than it used to. it sucks, coz we are all on the same boat and we are reminded of the great cardi b apologizing to people in a live video for asking them to buy her new album after she found out how much rent costs in some areas.

The Normies

thank you!! we are so happy to know you through our online adventure and irl <3

Mike

Prices going up. One Piece, a show with over 1000 episodes, only releasing 2 episodes a week. It's not looking good.

ELS_Art

Well I am glad I resubscribed before this, but understandable.

The Normies

we are only releasing 2 episodes a week because we have so many other shows on the roster, currently. should there be an opening and also a wild demand for us to get one piece done faster over replacing a show slot, we could do that. we will play things by ear.

Zeee

Right 😭😭😭

SergeTroy

Ah, gotcha gotcha, I thought there might be something more specific, along the lines of X “event” is coming soon. Not including various congressional bills, each more offensive than the last.

Zeee

“Existing patrons aren’t affected by this” 😮‍💨😅 good Understandable overall tho

The Normies

oh god, i don't even know what you're talking about and now i am scared too lol

Andrew Revella

Are we getting that epic South Park reaction today? It was too good of an episode..🤣

SergeTroy

I’m comforted that there are two of us ignorant of possible civil rights or further health care ending legislation. Might be a good sign, but I’m going to keep my eyes closed anyway.

Nermin Selimovic

have you thought about adding an cheaper tier for *just* One Piece? i am currently patron on 4 channels only for One Piece. For $6-8 and 4-6 Episodes per Week i would be here for literally ever

Zarathos Daimaoh

Most channels reactions to One Piece do 2 eps a week... it's fine. Forget the obsession about catching up fast or going quickly to the arcs you want most, even with channels that almost did it daily, it still took them roughly a year and a half. They'll up the dosage if it works out and can.

assaub

@Zarathos Daimaoh most do 4 a week at minimum, at 2 episodes a week it will take ~11 years to catch up to the currently released number of episodes. To offer my 2 cents as someone who joined the patreon specifically for one piece, 2 episodes a week is not enough to justify the price for just one piece for me and unfortunately I wont be returning after my month is up as a result. I will probably subscribe for a month every 6 months or something and catch up on the backlog instead.

StrawHat

I only subscribed for one piece and its only 2 a week :(( im Canadian, which means its $21 for me loll i can't really justify spending that right now but I'm glad y'all started y'all's one piece journey. ill enjoy the YouTube uploads and maybe sub here and there idk

botanbutton

It's a miracle how long most creators are holding out on upping their prices for Patreon/etc. Life is rough out here; stuff and services be costing! 😭 Understandable decision and I can imagine you thought about it long and hard. Thank you for giving existing patrons what is basically a discount now! 😂 And thank you for the transparency and enough time for people to get their ducks? /eggs?/money in order. 😊

Katra

You can also wait until they have a bunch of episodes, sub, and watch a lot, then cancel. Will save money over the long run.

Katra

that's a solid plan. I don't see why people are complaining. Just have patience, sub, watch a lot then cancel. Repeat as necessary.

Mike

Because it's 1100 episodes and counting. Plus One Piece came out during a time when tv shows were different. So some arcs are unbearably long. With 2 episodes a week you can have a month of nothing really happening. Canceling and subbing later means you don't get to keep the grandfathered in rate.

Aaron

I am lost, I already pay 15 a month for the premium tier, so I have been overpaying?

thelumpur

I do it for a month from time to time, because of some specific things I like to watch along with someone else, but yeah no offense, I cannot really justify to myself spending 15 dollars in a month just to watch people watching things. A 50% increase is kinda wild, too.

The Normies

If you have an iphone and subscribe through the app you get from the App store, unfortunately Apple adds extra charges completely independent of creators. You can avoid this fee by purchasing through a web browser. If this isn't the case, please shoot us a message and we can try to pinpoint why this is happening.

Chris G

I, like some of the others below sub time to time when there is something I want to watch. But Im not gonna pay the same price as i do for a subscription service like Apple, or Peacock. I admire the delusion that you think your service should be priced the same.

E 1615881939

yeah these patreons are getting out of hand, thinking I am going to pay the same as another streaming service when I already pay enough for those with more content that I watch. Why be greedy, put more things up at $1-$2 to purchase a reaction for something specific like new movies or shows. But to think I would pay $15 a month for content like this is insane, especially in this economy and the current state of the world. Sorry "content creators" but you might have to go get a real job.

dannydarko27

Damn I just unsubscribed for the time being because of how hard it is to pay for anything other than bills. Mind you Im a caregiver for 2 people so I get two checks, and I still can't pay for the things I want. I understand your decision fully and can only hope I can subscribe before the 3rd, if not guess YouTube it is and it was a fun couple of years. Thanks and have a spoopy October

Sickleweed

Why be annoyed at people who are capable and talented enough to turn something you clearly have no respect or regard for into a financially beneficial endeavor? If the financial burden of paying for Patreon is too hard to bear, all reactors still have free content on YouTube, including The Normies. Paying for Patreon is just for the added benefits, if you can live without those the price increase shouldn't impact you at all.

Zeee

You’re not being forced to bro

Cody

I’m probably not going anywhere soon, but it is ridiculous to charge more than the OG content. Between this and replacing The Office with Brooklyn 99 or Modern Family because the toxic fandom cares more about “shipping” and drama than the actual comedy, maybe this isn’t for me either.

GrayStark

The past year or two y’all haven’t exactly had the best lineup. A price INCREASE is a bit of a naive move. Just my view tho

MPH

This is madness. $15 a month to a reaction channel is a horrible financial decision.

Johnny Blue

No one has a gun to your head. Can't afford it, there's a free tier. Simple.

Lucas Anthony Parsons

Okay, ignore all these other POS who don't seem to understand this is your guys' business and the voluntarily subscribe to Patreon. If y'all don't wanna pay for Patreon GO TO YOUTUBE, where it's FREE to watch their content. You all sound like as if you were complaining to a theater about the prices of movie tickets, when you don't have to go and you could just wait to rent it. Everyone complaining and throwing a tantrum needs to just shut up and unsubscribe already and leave, or deal with it. These guys LOVE their fans and put out quite a bit of content compared to a lot of other channels. For goodness sakes cut these working people some slack!

Kamina 1

About time guys. Shit. As a long time fan of the channel I think this should have happened a long time ago. Whatever tier you're currently in, you keep the same rate. But if you end your membership and come back any time after Nov 3, you then fall under the new rates. Simple. More insensitive to stay as a patron. I'm not sure which of the Normies pushed for this in the meeting. But this was the right call from a business perspective. Your content and the team you guys have are absolutely worth $15 a month. If someone is currently paying $10 a month. Or was paying this at any point. But a $5 increase puts you in a financial bind. Than you have bigger problems to worry about. And likely shouldn't have been paying $10 a month in the first place. Cancel that Netflix subscription IMMEDIATELY.

Kamina 1

Do not buckle from all the sob stories in the comments Normies. I know you love your patrons. But thier problems are beyond you. You can't halt your progress as a channel and the lives of your employees (who are also trying to survive out here) for them. Stay the course.

Sickleweed

Other reactors already had that price tier for a long time.

Sickleweed

The quality of their line up is entirely subjective.

Sickleweed

Yeah it might not be true for other countries but for the US our prices on just about everything has gone up.

Cody

I can afford it, but I’m probably not sticking around very long just for all of these incels in the comments bichin about Jim and Pam and trying to ship whoever else on some corny ass show like Brooklyn 99 or Modern Family. Can’t we do a real comedy for the sake of comedy?

Cody

Time for Chris to go out on his own anyway. Reactions would be so much better if he didn’t have to explain every bit of nuance

botanbutton

"Depending on where you live" 🤔 So I guess I'm talking about me then.

Chris G

Chris is good to have people to play off of, plus hes increases the intelligent quotient mean average by at least 30 points.

Sam

Spartan and pudgey charge 15 great British pounds 🥲😅

addnid07

I respect the decision but still not the news that I wanted to hear.

dnlphalo

fire pat and navi instead of raising prices

Armani 🐢

I really don't understand the hate they are getting in these replies. If you are already subscribed it doesn't effect you whatsoever + they gave a two weeks heads up for people to subscribe before the price increase. If you don't subscribe by then or end up unsubscribing at some point then that's on you..

L.C.

I personally agree with this statement. I haven't been a Patreon since I cut the Patreon when they decided to just have majority of season 2 of solo leveling reactions be done by what was originally like half the crew that did reactions to it. I get very disappointed when they have certain crew members reacting to an anime (I only have ever come to their reactions for anime cause I don't like most other garbage being put out these days besides anime) and then suddenly some kind of excuse comes up to where half the crew members just get cut out of multiple episodes. Not to mention the anime content has been lacking quite a bit anyways.

L.C.

Wow. I am a caregiver for one person and I get paid almost a thousand a week. Don't have any problems with paying for stuff. You got a shitty caregiver career going on.

L.C.

Lmao. Yeah I know a lot of clowns in here are brainwashed from the news and have the "one side is bad" mentality. Know nothing about how anything works and listen to the news and get anxiety from it cause you are a sheep. Grow up and do some research and realize your "Republican bad" mentality is outdated and stupid. You people always only blame one side for things when its both sides that cause all the problems to begin with and make you sheep trapped into a certain mind set to keep you a sheep every single day of your lives. Talk about the growing economical problems now but don't say anything about it when the previous cabinet was on board. Good grief. Propaganda takes a hold of you people and never lets go. I know a lot of you take medication for your "mental health" problems.

L.C.

I honestly find it funny that the excuses are "current events and economical climate" for raising prices. I think I know what the actual problems are here but I won't go into all of that stuff. It will be too much of an annoyance to lay everything out and say what I really think.

SergeTroy

Hey, just curious, but do you guys have any friends that hold to a more “traditional,” possibly even conservative play-style? Play-style might not be the right word, I’m especially thinking of Races and Classes, with my own notables being the Warforged, and the Artificer, though there are others. If you’re not familiar, the Warforged is the fantasy equivalent of a man sized robot that can heal and has little optional add ons. The Artificer is sort of a college grad that minored in wizardry and puts his primary skills towards crafting a limited amount of personal use (I think) magic items. I’m not saying, “You suck!” for holding to the modern / progressive style and its elements, just curious about people that play my own brand (and I’m not talking about Halflings with attack rating G).

Legen Dangol

people paying other people to see their reactions. ok. the world we live in.

Erik D

Bernie Sanders was right, greedflation is real.

Rawaby 1204

Hello ! Can i know if your billing model is “next payment on the same day next month” or “payment on the 1st of every month” ?
