Untitled (Patreon)

Dear everybody. Thank you again so much for your support – this month the Patreon money made a real difference – it has gotten to an area where it is more than a bonus and a very direct form of keeping us afloat. A client did not pay in time and it got kind of close – but then the funding from Patreon arrived and it was like a gasp of relief – no need to touch our emergency funds. And wow, this is actually 569 people supporting us. All of you. Really mindblowing. Of all the stuff that happend in the last two years, the fact that this Patreon exists and you all are here is by far the most amazing to us. So thanks again! A few Patron exclusive updates: We are slowly starting to take a look into sponsorships and stuff like that (like for example the audible adds Minuteearth and Veritasium do – and there will be a Kurzgesagt Poster and mug soon on the DFTBA store) so maybe, just maybe, together with Patreon that will be enough to go fulltime on yotube later this year. Surprise bonus video next Thursday (topic: Banking explained … if you have better title, I'm open to suggestions. The video explains briefly how banks work, why they did suck in the past few years and what different forms of credit exist today, like crowdfunding, credit unions or micro credits). Nuclear Energy will be released in March too (may be March 31 but it will be March!). Nuclear Energy will be three videos, so let us see how that goes (Introduction, pro video and contra video). After that I think it is time for some space stuff again but this is far from sure. Maybe a video about "The State of our World in 2015" or something in that direction. All Patreon Perks will be send out next week – since the Patreon system is very confusing behind the scenes, if you have something that is broken or missing, drop us a line at info @ kurzgesagt . org ! Best, Philipp
