Updates to Patreon (Patreon)

Hey beautiful people!! Hope you're having a great week so far. I just wanted to update you with a few new features and minor changes to Patreon. 

First off, if you haven't noticed, there's a new "Collections" tab at the top of the page. This is going to replace the thousands of tags we currently have. Unfortunately Patreon doesn't have the best content management system so it can make it hard to search for reactions you want to watch. While we do have www.popcornrequests.com which lists all of my reactions with much more data, collections will be used as an alternative for those who wish to stay on the Patreon website while "browsing" through all of the reactions. The collections page will be updated over time. I have some ideas for collections, but if you have any categories you'd like to see please leave a comment and let me know!

The second new feature is the "Shop", which we have access to but haven't implemented quite yet because we're not sure it'll be worth it. Basically, this would allow visitors to purchase specific reactions with no need to subscribe. So if there is a movie that someone wants to see, but doesn't want to "subscribe" to a Patreon tier they can purchase it as a one-off. I'm basically looking for your opinions on this. 

I also need your suggestions on something else. For every full length reaction I post, I typically write a small paragraph summarizing my thoughts on the movie/show. These are difficult for me to write because I don't want to spoil to much. I guess my question is, do you want me to continue writing those paragraphs with my thoughts, or leave it a surprise for when you watch the reaction? I'll leave a comment for both options below, and make sure the heart the one you prefer. 

Last thing. We have some rules here on Patreon, which you can find on the pinned FAQ post. I've been really set on making this a community where you can have open conversation, with no moderation. It will continue to stay open and the moderation will be minimal, but Ben has access with a Patreon team account and will start using it to remove comments that aren't in line with the rules. The rules are super simple and easy to follow, so please check them out and refresh your memories.

That's all for now. Sorry for the wall of text!! Thanks so much to all of you for being on Patreon. I love you guys and the community we've built here so much and hope it continues for many years to come!!

To summarize:

• Collections - these will allow you to browse "collections" of reactions. Please give me your ideas on some good categories to add.
• Shop - Is it worth implementing? Let me know your thoughts.
• Reaction Summaries - Should I continue writing the paragraphs that often spoil the reaction or just keep it simple? Heart the comment below that best fits your opinion.
• Patreon Moderation - Ben will start moderating comments that don't align with the rules in the FAQ. I think the biggest violation of this are spoilers, and so if your comment contains any, they will be removed. Please read the rules as there are only 5 of them and they're all based on common sense.
