The Future of Patreon Goals (Patreon)

Hello Patrons! Thanks so much for the constructive feedback on my post regarding the new video style, I've taken your advice into consideration with future videos I'm working on!

I want to bring up Patreon Goals today. In the past, I've had goals that followed a format of "If I reach x number of Patrons" or "If I reach x dollars per video", I'll do this. I've always had trouble actually fulfilling these promises due to a philosophical disagreement of mine with this system:

If I want to start a new project for the channel, I want to be the one to determine when that happens.  I think that's the best for everyone, since it allows me to better schedule content and events for the channel in a way that works for me. I am still incredibly grateful for the number of patrons or amount of dollars I receive per video, but I think both of those metrics are fairly arbitrary when it comes to launching new projects / ideas for the channel.

Because of this, I will not be offering any Patreon Goals in the forseeable future, and instead, focusing on just creating the great content that I've always created. I think this is the most honest and transparent way to run this Patreon page!

As for the goals that have already passed (such as the Raindrop merch and the recording tutorial), these will be completed on a "when they're ready" basis. I have been speaking with a contact at Design By Humans (A T-shirt company that specializes in working with online creators), so the merch process has just begun. I'll inform you all of when developments happen here.

Thank you all for supporting my channel! Great music is to come.
