Changing the Patreon Tiers Poll?? (Patreon)

Please vote, this will impact all current and new patrons!

_______________________________________________________________________

The benefits I offer patrons is incredibly varied (from art to early access to project requests) but lately I've been thinking that I need to change around the tiers and better understand the audience I'm trying to service both here on Patreon and even for YouTube to an extent. Consider my reasons:

• With my channel demonetized I need to figure out a better way of increasing profits for my creative projects; if I don't, the chance that I would quit YouTube altogether would without question increase drastically
• Some people are only after specific kinds of benefits, even if each tier offers many different kinds of benefits; narrowing down the benefits to different pledge categories would give me a better idea of what people really want
• Separating tiers and benefits would provide more incentive for people to pledge only to the kinds of things they want and would give me a better idea as to what people want to see from me

If I were to add just one more tier I would change around current tiers but are still more generalized and varied with benefits:

• Otterpups tier (stay at $3/month): early access to South Park reactions, new Hunters pages, and simple character sketches
• Otterlings tier (drop to $6/month): early access to all new videos excluding non-transparent versions of reaction videos, new Hunters pages with work-in-progress images, simple character sketches, access to art concepts and drafts, access to writing/story concepts
• Sea Otters tier (drop to $12/month): early access to all new videos including non-transparent versions of reaction videos, early access to Hunters pages with work-in-progress images, offer small art commission OR video project request, access to art concepts and drafts, video mentions, access to special Discord channel
• Unnamed 4th highest tier (likely about $25): early access to all new videos including non-transparent versions of reaction videos, early access to Hunters pages with work-in-progress images, offer small art commission AND video project request, access to art concepts and drafts, video mentions, access to special Discord channel, access to occasional behind-the-scenes content

Here are the ideas I have for new or completely changed tiers (names and prices pending) that are more benefit type-specific:

• $2/month Otter Parkers- A tier just for new South Park reactions
• $2/month Huntotters - A tier just for new Hunters comic pages and occasionally other Hunters art projects, and a chance to request any character sketch of your choice
• $6/month Otterpups - A tier for early access to all videos on my Otterpop and OtterpopTV channels, including exclusive non-transparent versions of reaction videos
• $10/month Arterpops A tier for large commission rewards and early access to all new art projects, and a chance to request any character sketch of your choice
• $15/month River Otters - A tier for early access to all my videos and the chance to request a video project from me
• $25/month - A tier for early access to all my videos, art projects, and writing projects; and the chance to request a video project AND small art commission AND character sketch (Spectacular Sea Otters)
• Special Discord channel(s), newsletters, video mentions, and behind-the-scenes-type content will be spread out between the tiers in a way I haven't quite figured out yet

Some of these prices look different and definitely more expensive than previous tiers, but this is how I have to work to earn my keep. And here's the thing; I will change the tiers one way or another, whether it's an increase in price for all tiers, a small adjustment of tiers, or changing all the tiers entirely. But I wanted your opinions on how you think I should go about this. And whatever is decided and whatever people end up preferring, I am already planning on changing the tiers starting next month, so expect to change pledges if you are going to want to.
