Hey!We're working on offering a new alternative membership site with extra features and functions compared to our Patreon. These include but aren't limited to;- Video Uploads (we're unable to really do this here on Patreon as we're capped at 100 hours a year of video upload)- Exclusive and Discounted Merch Offerings- Ability to subscribe to individual shows instead of everything- New UX and UI with lots of fun things like loyalty badges and user profiles Price would be the same! Just one of the core feedback we've received over the years was, "I wish there was an alternative to Patreon", so we're currently exploring and gearing up to offer that. I wanted to see thoughts and ideas as well as feedback on what you'd want specifically from this new offering -- and, of course, would like to learn about if you'd make the move!OH: and new Criminally Stupid before the weekend!EDIT: As a follow up, I think people are interpreting this the wrong way due to not enough details. By alternative, I meant this hypothetical platform would exist alongside Patreon as an alternative to those who don't wish to use Patreon. There would be no need to support both platforms and it's not replacing Patreon (so you could continue to use Patreon if you prefer Patreon). It is simply another option for people to use INSTEAD of Patreon. By "ability to subscribe to individual shows", I meant it would be possible to subscribe to individual shows for a cheaper monthly subscription but the $5 a month for all shows option would still exist there as well. For example, you'd be able to subscribe directly to Criminally Stupid to only receive those episodes early and ad-free for $3 a month if that's the only show you're interested in but those who want all three shows (RT, OP, CS) would still have the same $5 a month option that we currently have. Thanks,Jackson

Zz

I'm here to support you guys, not Patreon itself :)

Zack

Yeah I don’t care. This is literally the only thing I’ve ever subscribed to on patron

Aliyan Ali

Yes Jackson an only fans by yours truly

Erick Lopez

Yes, if bonuses come back 😔

Alex Kostiuk

As long as I can listen on Spotify still, it won’t effect me much. Whatever works best for you works for me

Squig

Would you stay on Patreon too or ditch this site for the new one?

Terry Stiffler

Keep up the poster we have a deal ;)

Javen X

👍🥺

UwUBiSoft

I would like an alternative with those options but would the audio recordings still be fully available on Patreon

crazypata

I want to touch you jackson and down to touch you on another site, hope there's an app cuz that's how I listen to yall

Randy

Balls

theofficialpodcast

Patreon would remain and include all of the same content (sans video uploads)! It's just an alternative with slightly more features! -J

hoodie_hung

Absolutely, TMG moved away from patreon to their own thing and it is 100x more functional. Patreon is subpar and the UI sucks

ALiveHandRenéade

I mean if it still has the spotify integration it wouldn't be the end of the world but id still prefer not

dalton clack

If you stay on patreon then absolutely!

Joshua Craig

I only use this for you. If you swap I swap

Christina

This is the only show I support on Patreon, so i would have no issue switching! :)

Braden Gerow

i will go to whatever platform has more episodes of criminally stupid‼️‼️

Squig

Oh ok. Thank you

Joe's pizza

Question, if we were able to subscribe to individual sections of the podcast would it cost less or the same?

bingus 69

Yes I only really use patreon for you anyway I don't mind going to other sites I just love the content and want to support you guys and if the new site results in a better user experience then why not!

EmptyJuul

As long as I could still listen to exclusive content on my mobile device. I’d be sad if I couldn’t do that anymore.

Slugmancer

Abso-fuckin-lutely, patreon BARELY works on my phone browser

The Boi

okay, would you be willing to keep the Patreon up? id like to get the full package while also not having another application i have to give a fuck about.

Luke Stone

The only reason I have patreon downloaded on my phone is for you boys. (Specifically Jackson and Kaya as of a long time).

Santas_Babe

Yes but is there any chance you guys could give a discount for people who would like to support your guys one both platforms?

DJ Leanczar

“Ability to subscribe to individual shows instead of everything.” So i have to pay an extra $5 to subscribe to the Red Thread so I can get early content? What does that mean?

theofficialpodcast

No, we're still posting all of the content that we're posting for free on YouTube already! There's really nothing majorly new about the alternative other than giving people a new platform to support us on instead of just Patreon (+ video uploads early, etc). You're not losing anything by staying on Patreon or however you currently listen to us and we're not locking anything behind the new alternative! -J

Jacob G

Hmm well it depends. Would we be forced to sub to each show or could we just do the all encompassing one for 5 dollars? Also does this new service have an app where I can download the podcast eps and listen with my phone off? Will the patreon be deleted too?

Phoenix Igneous

I just want my subscription to carry over would be all as I pay for the year (tight on money and would really want the price to stay similar if it can) but yah I dont care for the patreon ui tbh, regardless i just like supporting the lads

Landon

yes, as long as we can still subscribe to every show for the same amount :)

Love Ducks

Idk I always use the mobile app so if this has one then yeah

theofficialpodcast

Sorry, I meant if you only want to support Red Thread or Criminally Stupid, we'll likely offer tiers JUST for those shows at under $5 a month. The $5 a month for EVERYTHING tier will still exist. This isn't a price increase! -J

Thaddeus Tobin

Another separate thing would be such a pain. Think of all the streaming services we already probably have. At least Patreon and Curiosity consolidate creators, but that's two separate platforms for creators we watch on youtube.

Aotd

Would the Patreon be left out of stuff? One thing I like about the Patreon is we have access to all the shows. As long as it’s like that I’m sure it’s not going to be bad at all

Payto

Thanks jack son

Jack

How?

Juan De León

I need separate rss feeds for all the podcasts, it's getting hard to manage

theofficialpodcast

We haven't been able to figure out an easy way to accomplish that yet but would recommend just supporting us on one platform anyway! -J

SoulReaper644

Anyway you boys can move off of discord? Tried to watch the show live this week and i couldn’t hear anyone

Caleb Pitts

I mean, yeah, I guess I’m already here 😅

Bryan Anderson

I'll support the official brand no matter where it is but patreon Is definitely an easy and comfortable way to do it for me. I'm conflicted personally, I like the ease of patreon but if the prices stay the same and I get better content then I'd like to hear the alternative to where it would be. I always listen in audio format so the patreon app has made it easy. Will your new method be as easy for audio only listeners?

Jack

As long as subscriptions carry over, I pay annually and don't want to be stuck on a worse platform for almost a year

theofficialpodcast

Yes, it's a Patreon alternative but not a replacement! So Patreon will continue to exist and be updated the same way it has forever! -J

The Boi

hell yeah then go hog wild friend

theofficialpodcast

Not so much separate! It's just an alternative to Patreon! We don't want people subscribing on both platforms, we're just giving people choices of platforms (as people often complain about Patreon functionality itself). -J

Jessie

As long as the podcast rss connection still works, another platform is fine. Would there be an app?

Clinchedbooty

I use Spotify with Patreon so that I can listen to all my podcasts and music on Spotify

Randy Lahey

Would you transfer old episodes to the new site? More features sounds great but I like to come back to old bonuses and the like, and I wouldn't want to split payments (even though $5 is more than worth it) ❤️

cas.ko

i'd sub regardless of what platform you guys use as long as it's mobile friendly and we can download episodes to listen offline, because having to fuck around with the patreon app at work or on the road when it bugs out sucks ass

Bwoods

The only reason I’m on Patreon at all is you guys. It’s basically my OP app.

Solar Insurgent

Yes, but also no because I paid for an annual membership right before the major podcast changes were announced earlier this year 💀

Dee Jay

My only gripe with patreon has been UI issues on mobile over the years. The search is abysmal and you guys have been in the game for so long scrolling is kinda out of the question at this point. Hope you guys go with something more user-friendly but I'll keep subbing wherever you end up.

Daniel Nelson

so when you say that you guys plan on offering the ability to subscribe to individual shows, will that still cost 5 dollars?

Vuskenicht

Sounds great except I usually listen at work which means my phone is asleep in my pocket. Unless I’m mistaken, I can’t do this on a browser page

Santas_Babe

Any chance you guys can make a couple snip bits of the new stuff you guys have planned prior to going/creating and alternate platform and give Patreon members a week or month discount just so we can test the water and see what we like?

Saving Honor

I guess my only questions are: 1. Can we carry over the Patreon subscription? I subscribed for the year, and would love for that to transfer over. 2. Does the ability to subscribe to individual shows mean that it's 5 dollars per show?

D4C

No

cas.ko

in fact I would be incentived to move over if the player and search function works better than patreon lol

theofficialpodcast

1. We'd like to include that functionality but we'll have to see if it's possible. 2. No, individual shows will be cheaper but we haven't decided on price points yet. -J

Minimo

I would love it but y’all haven’t released merch in forever

Saving Honor

Thank you for the quick response and transparency, Jackson. I'd love to follow you all.

theofficialpodcast

We're exploring the possibility of an app as well to solve that issue! -J

Greg K

Honestly? Im currently cutting my subscription Services across everything. Making a new Account isn't something I'll do anytime soon. Love your stuff, though.

austin red

i just joined but yes

Garlic Bread Ben

Same, I voted no because I already feel disappointed that bonuses were canceled after I paid for the annual membership.

theofficialpodcast

Yeah, we'll clearly be showing everything the new platform offers before it goes live and there will be a month-long discount period. -J

Ramen Noodles

We will follow you anywhere jackson our lord and savior (because it's the same price)

Joshua Palacios

Discounts to merch, wait they have merch other than the really old stuff

jack rouse

Patreon is honestly ass. Mobile and desktop. Make the switch

Andrew

I am good with anything! I've always loved the stuff you boys put out and I'll follow where I have to.

JakeP_2002

Yeahhhhh Jackson wooooohoooooo

Aidan Price

Whats wrong with patreon?

Austin

yes but i would love the option to maintain an RSS feed to use with Apple Podcasts

Persei8

id love to be able to filter episodes & add to a queue!

assclown

as long as its still 5$ im with it. if i could cast it on ios id be even happier.

Josh Crawford

So, my question is, would you rather piss a peanut or shit a softball?

Nebula

Used to listen on Spotify, but found the Patreon with everything on it. Honestly, I only listen cause I like hearing y’all talk about random shit. Personally I don’t really care about specific “shows” since I listen to them all, but I know some people would like it

Mitch Armitage

If the price is the same, yes. I wouldnt pay anymore however just because of lack of bonus content. I just don’t see the benefiet

Juan Romero

Been listening to yall for 6 years and just became a Patreon recently , either way I’m happy to finally support you guys

Kilmonjaro

I only use Patreon for this so I don’t mind moving to another service as long as I can still listen to stuff with my screen off

Santas_Babe

Awesome thanks for the clarification also I’m gonna touch you Jackson

LR INT Kid Buu

More content always makes me happy papa Jackson

Jack Greacher

All I want is early episodes on an rss feed. Yes.

bis

As long as the episodes show up in the same manner on a Spotify/whatever feed, I'm for it

Bryan Anderson

I would be into a change if there were a functioning app, I only listen via patreon or Spotify so any change that doesn't support adio only is bad imo

PercocetPete

patreon ui is terrible and a switch off to a platform that works better would be great, however: 1) video is always nice, but it shouldn’t come at the cost of making audio only more difficult. myself, and i’m sure most others, listen to podcasts at work and video isn’t always an option and keeping the phone on and unlocked on a video drains more battery and such 2) imo splitting up prices per show just makes it more difficult

TexasMan903

If it brought back the bonuses I’d be willing for multiple subscriptions or even a higher tier

theofficialpodcast

Just to clarify on 2), we'd still have the same ol' $5 package including everything! -J

PercocetPete

miss the bonuses but it made sense that those were the first thing to go. idk if you listened to the red thread after report but jackson talked about how the podcast, having run for so long, is getting a little stale for them hence some of them are branching out to new shows

TexasMan903

I’m thinking the same because they got rid of the bonuses

Magdy Gerges

My reason for saying No, when you say new membership site would there be an app, I personally appreciate the functionality of apps over the clunkiness of navigating a website.

PercocetPete

yeah i saw that response i just still have the opinion that it’s easier to have it be one payment. plus, even if it was for just one show, i think you guys deserve 5 bucks a month at least for the work you put in and the entertainment (and at times knowledge) you provide. especially you with all the research you seem to do for red thread. i understand it can be easier for more people to pay less for less stuff but even for me (in a terrible financial position atm) i feel more than willing to pay the 5 bucks for all the content

PercocetPete

also just wanna say since these are my first comments in like a year and a half of being in the patreon that i appreciate all the content and it’s helped me a lot through work and tough times

TexasMan903

I know why they cut it but it still sucks and the main and bonus were the only things I listen to from them I’m just not as interested in the other shows

Vuskenicht

If that’s the case and the app works out then I’m all in, doesn’t sound like there’s a downside. Also, pumped for Podophiles!

PercocetPete

fuck this is already so long but there’s so much to say. another point for keeping it all as one subscription is if you split it you might end up with shows that don’t do well financially and make sense to not do anymore but then that takes that away from the people that do want them, even if they are few

Brz12311

The patreon mobile app is shit. The filters+ search functions are bad and sometimes it takes ages to scroll through stuff when looking for older content. Also when using the app in my native language you can tell they just Google translated some stuff. Id be down to use another platform if you find something better that also has an app

kanaracko

I think I’ve recommended a similar thing, sounds awesome! Can’t wait for the new criminally stupid

Michael Brison

I'd subscribe to something different. I just really hope that we can get he videos at the same time on the new platform if you decide to go to it. I've been subscribed to the patron for a while and I love listening into episodes before they come out. I do wish that I could watch the video early aswell. Might be something worth looking into. Keep it up boys.

DiggingTrapHoles

had to say hard no. i don't want another subscription service. patreon makes it easy for me to support you. I also like the idea of this being the official patreon for all "Official Podcast" endeavors including red thread and the Jack Off podcast. splitting it seems greedy

Will Hammond

Patreon as a site is pretty mid, honestly I just use the emails to know when stuff comes out and only log in for content or comments if I feel a need. Might be worth looking into Floatplane, I support Dankpods on there and the audio quality is great

raventhegoat

maybe floatplane? you can separate all the different podcasts (red thread, etc) into different mini-channels under one "brand" of The Official Podcast or The Boys or whatever. another youtuber, dankpods, did it with all of his different channels where he works on cars, talks about drums, etc

Keegan

It seems like the alternative would become the “patreon” and nothing would get split up. Maybe I am mistaken

Unknown Jpeg

I’m going to touch you Jackson

brugley

will we be able to keep the bonuses and previous content that you’ve put out?

Scab_Chips

You're still getting the same content. Literally nothing will change from your end if you choose not to subscribe to the alternate service. It just gives people a different option to support the crew that don't prefer patreon

LilBaptize

Will the previous patreon exclusive episodes be on this new site? I like re listening to old bonuses

Keegan

I’m all for it as long as it’s an app that I can use in the background with my phone off. I listen pretty much exclusively at work and I can’t have my phone on all shift without it dying

Phoenix Igneous

(Unrelated but is there anymore word on the bonuses with just you and kaya btw?? Its ok if not I know you guys been tryin to revive criminally stupid which is great, is that just going to be future watch parties between you two or are they goin to be a separate thing?)

Joeballsaque

As long as it's decent. Patreons app is pretty shitty but it's one of the better one's I've seen, but if it's at least on par then sure why not. Would the old backlog be on this site?

Jacob Knarr

This pod is straight up the only reason I use Patreon and I'm not a big fan of it but it's whatever. Wouldn't mind seeing something else.

Brian Cartwright

I find it hard to track watch/listen history on patreon (compared to youtube for example). if im being honest, it is the main reason I'm letting my subscription run out on patreon and not renewing. I just can't be bothered to take the effort and find where I was on an ep, which ones i started but didn't finish, and if I switch devices I have to remember where I was and skip there. I would gladly support on another site that has better history tracking, but I don't want to on patreon. much love to the boys

PorkTrick

Definitely look to TMG for inspiration if you’re looking at making an app.

Eric Curry

The patreon app is absolute dogshit, if the new ui is a usable improvement I could see myself trying it if the price stays the same for all the content you produce

PercocetPete

yeah, that’s fair. just unfortunate. they were a fun addition bc it’s just more of the same podcast we all love but with less of a filter bc no youtube upload, but it makes sense after 7 years

corbin74

I would really prefer an option to have the RSS feed playable in Apple podcasts like on here, but I’ll join either way. That’s the only thing for me personally

RippZipp

As long as the base price for everything is still the same, and it would just be cheaper to choose one or two things by themselves, then I would switch over no problem.

Little Lacie

I only use patreon to sub to yall so sure why not.

RippZipp

Saw that the price would be the same, awesome. I really only use Patreon for y’all and two other podcasts. If y’all used a Patreon alternative that they also use, that would be great. You guys are the only reason I haven’t switched to another platform in the first place.

Carrossea

I really enjoy being able to cast the video uploads to my TV since I don't own a laptop/computer to directly connect it. As long as I can do that, I'll be happy!

Raymond Real

I would follow you guys anywhere to show support, even if it's just a bonus once a month.

Aaronnn

seems like a really good to add videos, I almost always listen on my phone so staying as an app and website would be cool

theofficialpodcast

New platform will still have the same RSS feed functionality so you'll be able to put it into your podcatching app! -J

gtt1229

RSS is 100% a must

Nathanial Green

Will there be a discount on Kaya’s cheetah poster?

Kent Karlsson

The same (yearly) price and rss-feed and I don't care what you use.

Cody Brosh

If you use a different site and I choose to just use the new site instead of paying for both, will I still be able to listen to old bonuses without having to pay for patreon?

Dirty Mike

I have no loyalty to Patreon or a reason to stick around here besides the boys. But as a webdev I strongly discourage you from creating and maintaining your own site if that's what you're up to; most of the time the amount of money, time and effort spent just isn't worth it - especially for sites serving video content.

jack davidson

No issue with this as long as it’s an app not online. I listen to another podcast called “the Ben and Emil show”. They did this recently cos Patreon was taking a massive cut

quixx

I listen to mobile, so Patreon is really convenient for me. If the alternative is a website, i would prefer Patreon.

Shey S

Same

Benjamin Caba

As long as it’s not a pain in the ass or more expensive

Damian Cylkaa

I don’t want to touch Jackson. You never know what kind of viruses the people of Australia may have that we don’t have the immunity to. Its too dangerous

Not_Isaiah

I’m surprised more people aren’t threatening to touch Jackson

Nalyd

The only gripe I have with Patreon is when I listen to an episode in full at work and I go to pick another I have to reset the page and then scroll through like 100 to find an episode I wanna listen to, otherwise it’s perfect for me at least

v v

as long as it is catagorized i don't care to much but i am.not paying double for both offical and red tread.

v v

i need more context to vote

Gsatles

You should make a streaming service! and i'll touch you jackson!

Taro

Real

Joshua Grant

I have other patreon subscriptions and signing up for ANOTHER app that takes my money monthly just sounds not super appealing for me personally

Fidgets

Oh man, I'd love a sweater that just has the words "Criminally Stupid" on it

Blackjack

As someone who has other patreon subscriptions and listens to each series on the car, staying on this platform seems most convenient personally. Trying to manage another subscription service on top of my existing ones sounds like a pain

Bertil Olsson

So do we gotta pay both patreon and the other site? Seems like a bit to much for me

jackspratt0

So now we have to pay subcriptions for indivisual shows? thats just too much money

Cyonated

i listen to these podcasts to get to sleep a lot so the audio playback having a sleep timer feature would be a plus

Twelve_Aces

I'd love Red Thread video uploads

Lofty

Yeah i’d move to that site, patreon doesn’t save what i have listened to. Which is fuckin clapped.

coolp_xels

He says in the post it would be the same price

theofficialpodcast

No, in this situation you CAN pay less for individual shows but you'll still have the option of paying $5 a month for all shows! It's just an option in case someone only likes the main show and wants to pay less just for that show, etc. -J

theofficialpodcast

No! It's just an option as an alternative if someone doesn't like Patreon. We wouldn't ask people to support on both platforms and it's just user preference. Both sites get the same content. -J

coolp_xels

As long as it has RSS

hero

Patreon just got their mobile app functioning. If there is a change-over, please make sure whatever service you switch to has a functioning app pretty pls. red thread and the pod make my days at work easier

Danigoddamnit

Wondering if the new service would have the original 99 episodes available on it, as the current RSS doesn't have them (anyone know why that is btw?)

Magee

Try Coffee, they don't take a percentage cut from you like patreon does

Jesse Fallon

TMG app was a good switch IMO. I like their app and they use it for multiple shows and seems to offer the same things your thinking about. I’d move to that tbh.

Jeff Jeffrey Jefferson

I highly prefer Patreon, because I manage all my subscriptions here, but if you provide additional content that can't be realized on Patreon, I'd consider switching.

GaMMaLiKKeR

As long as it can connect to Spotify I don't care what platform is used

Beefy

I think it would probably be a good idea!! Esp if it gives you more options and better ways to show y'alls content to the audience. And if that new platform can save my place in videos that would also be amazing

Joshua

me personally, I would use it for the exclusive stuff like watching the videos sometimes and the merch, but since Patreon integrates with Spotify it’s super easy for me to listen there. Totally down for it tho, sounds interesting and I’m sure people would enjoy it.

Paper_Frog

I don't mind as long as I can use it on my phone.

角柱Galaxy_Pleiades

I havent had the funds necessary for the Cheetah poster. Can we get a discount if I subscribe purely on that?

Ryan Smith

It has to support mobile better than Patreon or it would make sense

Rake

Others have said it, but I would also only use it if I worked well on mobile

Dylan Culver

I primarily listen to the podcasts on my way to work and college, but there have often been times where I’d really like to watch the video version, especially for Red Thread.

Isidro Duarte

Just need mobile. Anything is fine with me.

Kiwi

Patreon mobile app sucks ass. I still don’t have access to months worth of content here. went back and forth with their support team over and over and their only solution was to try to listen on a PC that I don’t own.

Nebula

Oh my…where do I begin with you, my dear Jackson…people don’t know how to read. And I don’t know how much more simple you can break this hypothetical down. All they want is feedback and opinions before doing anything 😭

Justin6d

If there’s a mobile option I’d be open to it

Satan

I’d rather touch Kiara (Jackson’s girlfriend)

Brashends

This is the real discount we need common Jackson tell kaya to lower the price!

Colby

The option to get all the shows early and with video would be well worth it alone. Most of the time i wait to watch the podcast/red thread until it airs on youtube so I feel adding video to the early uploads would be an amazing change. Generally speaking I’m loving all the new changes and ideas recently!

Mandark

just having video available with the early release would make it worth the switch

Vincent Shirayuki

As long as i can continue play them audio only with the screen off while i work i dont care.

galileeo

The boys merch returns?

Hurt Reynolds

ill follow you guys anywhere but ideally a platform that lets you listen with the screen off or locked

Jonathan Hultink

As long as the video/audio played is good quality for mobile, I’ll be happy.

Lou Sassle

Woah woah woah Satan. You've crossed a line

Satan

(Jackson’s girlfriend)

That Monkey D

I misunderstood the first time, but if it's another site alongside Patreon I'd be totally cool with it especially if more video means more Watchparties. But it would have to be an app you could listen to on mobile as well with the screen locked

Cruz Jimenez

I like the idea alot, but I would hope there would be a way to link my patreon so I don't have to cancel a yearly membership

rosierbags

i only use patreon to watch you guys so ill go wherever

Jealous Lettuce

I like the sound of this I just hope there would be a download button on this platform as I consume most of the podcasts offered here offline after I download them through patreon.

Matante Kurdent

As long as we can support you boys with your recently baby boy Wendigoon added to the mix, I'll be happy to throw in some money

Psaturn

If it's just an alternative to patreon why do you get the exclusive perks at the new place?

Simon Hughes

If you could find a platform that's better than patreon in terms of user experience then that would be amazing, patreon works kinda, but it's horrible at filtering the content, anytime I want to listen to an old bonus I have to wait through 5 long load times before I've clicked enough boxes to just get old bonuses, can't see how an alternative would be a bad idea

Wakeuplaid

Only if it’s on onlyfans, don’t wanna have to download some other app for the pod. I only have patreon bcause of the pod

Satan

Pussy ass liberal bitch

lanirus

I'll consider it if yall add a gooning segment!!! Goodness have been too underrepresented recentlly!!!!!!!

Greg K

Nah, I'm not going to cut the boys if they continue uploading to patreon. Just not making a new account on any pay-sites. Need to be more frugal.

forsain

show those nipples jackson

Bwoods

This is a good point

kanaracko

Why not make the official podcast channel have a membership feature for $5 and post videos early on yt for only those people

kanaracko

To add on to this you can have the badges you talk about, the early video uploads and if you make separate channels for each podcast you could also have the individual podcast memberships for cheaper

Egg

Maybe if yall add a gooning segment

chris ruiz

i’ll gladly switch over to a platform that offers more benefits, patreon ain’t all that. It’d be nice for change, thanks for always trying to be better jackson

SugmaNard

I support this decision as having a third app would be a bit much. We're already established on youtube

Avalon

if you did the YouTube membership then I would switch to that because I hate the patreon website when I want to watch more than one episode. I don't even have the patreon app because it is so laggy and annoying. I just use the RSS feed with a different app when I want to listen on my phone or in the car.

Negrodamus

People really are stupid, how do you misinterpret the fact that they were STILL going to keep using Patreon as normal as well as use another platform? You really thought they were going to just stop Patreon and then use a different platform? You really thought they were going to make you pay a separate 5$ for CS, RT, and OP? Just read all the details in the post before getting your panties in a bunch. It isn't that confusing

X-51 Dragon

Neat concept for sure. But honestly it’s pretty cheap for your Patreon as it stands so maybe something like multiple tiers for other perks may work better. More concise and all that. Either way I think it’ll go good. But Personally I’m comfy here on Patreon

Grelk

maybe gumroad?

slinkyworm

Patreon has been trash. I like to go back and listen to older episodes but getting to them takes so long its easier to use spotify

Zarmac

i hope the plan to find a way to release video versions of podcasts in early access comes to fruition sometime soon. Right now i often end up waiting to listen to certain shows and OP episodes that have visual elements until the public version comes out because it feels i'm getting an inferior experience in early access at which point that benefit loses a lot of value
