LATE REWARDS. DISCOUNTS & BIG CHANGES **Please Read** (Patreon)

Hello Patrons,  

I know, I've been really bad at keeping up with rewards, and so this post will address several important changes to come involving my patreon. 

FIRST:  I've attached several song files, including mp3's of my latest song "Pack of Rats", as well as instrumentals for Pack of Rats and "The Bum Song".  

SECOND:  For you Patrons who are interested in buying any merch from my teespring: https://teespring.com/stores/rusty-cage

You can use the discount code "RUSTY25" to get 25% off your order. 

THIRD: I want to do another Patreon exclusive Q&A.  So ask any questions you want me to answer and I'll address them in a future coming Rusty Responds video.

**AND MOST IMPORTANTLY**

I've been very apprehensive about continuing to have a Patreon.  Mainly because I don't feel like I'm doing a good job at offering you all enough for your contributions.  I know a lot of creators will give early access to videos, or exclusive videos, but this doesn't work with my creation model.  I usually finish a video and immediately upload it to youtube.  This is due to the editing always taking longer than expected and deadlines approach quicker than planned.  In addition to this, as I often take long breaks from youtube to work on other projects like music, or comics, it doesn't seem fair to be running a "Per Month" payment system on patreon.  

So, here is what I propose, and I would like to hear all of your opinions on it before I enact any changes.  If I were to change the way contributions work to a "PER VIDEO" deal, It would force me to post rewards to all of your patrons (or else no funding would be charged).  What this would mean is that, as a Patron, you would want to evaluate how much you would want to contribute to my content based on each project post, rather than a general monthly donation.  I would expect many of you would consider lowing your donation to avoid being charged multiple times a month (if say I posted 4 videos a month, which, almost never happens TBH).  If this donation change does end up getting enacted, you have my ABSOLUTE WORD, that I would never post garbage videos in abundance, as a way of getting more donation payments.  That's not my style.  Idk, I'm really unsure of what I should do with Patreon, going forward, so I'd like to hear all of your opinions before I make any drastic changes that would effect you all supporting my content. 

Well, sorry for ranting.  And EXTRA sorry for being so inattentive.  I appreciate everything you have all done to help me create this content.
