Hi all,

Wanted to get your opinion on this. With the new channel up and the videos beginning to be filmed, I'm starting to think about how to handle the monetary aspects of it. Which I realize is odd for a channel with no content and 100 subscribers, but I susepct once I announce it properly it'll get going fairly quickly.
While the content will be food stuff, a good chunk of it will be sciency and at the least the same style as content I've posted on the main channel and then subsequently posted here (eggs benedict for example).  So, should I start a new patreon for it? Or should I just lump it in and count them as videos that I can post and charge for here under "the emporium" brand? This is all just preliminary as I work through getting things going, so wanted to get ya'lls opinion to help plan things out

In a simplistic model, there are 4 kinds of people: 1. The ones that don't care about your content 2. The ones that care only about The Thought Emporium 3. The ones that care only about The Taste Emporium 4. The ones that care about everything Category #1 is not of interest. Categories #2 and #3 will be able support you equally regardless of the choice you make. Category #4 is a bit more interesting. It consists of people who just want to support what you do in general and of people who like The Thought Emporium and The Taste Emporium separately. It doesn't matter for the first kind of people what choice you make since they can just increase their pledge on any Patreon account you create to support you. It matters for the second kind though, since people that can get 2 things for the price of 1 probably will not pay more than they need. Given all that, I think that an umbrella account is better. People that care in general don't need to follow multiple accounts, people that care only about one thing will get another for free (and hey, maybe that's the way to make them more interested). And I think there's not many people that just want both kinds of content and don't really care about what you do in general.

SciShow only have the one for all their 'SciShow' brands - but I fit in category '4' :)

Hmmmm, I’m here mostly for the molecular biology, microfluidic’s, material coating, but the radio satellite, and food stuff is a good treat (npi)... I’m concerted that This forum will be flooded with non-science post.

This saddens me greatly. Why did you start doing all this in the first place ? You were driven to science because you had a natural talent for it, and you wanted to fix a particular problem. ( Lactose intolerane). I applaud you, well done for doing that, and getting into alot of interesting science along the way. Food ? Really ? The's tons of content out there already, and whilst some food science is mildly interesting, I feel that you would be distracted. Are you trying to make a living from patreon / youtube, or are you currently doing this on the side because you enjoy it ? Creating more content " just to make a living" would likely dilute this very interesting channel.

I was driven to science because I liked seeing how things work and I like teaching people things. I went into bio partly because of the lactose thing, but mainly my biology was fucked and I wanted to understand it so I could fix it. And ya I've done that now, but that was just so I could live a happy life, not because it's all I want to do. I love bio but it is only a small fragment of what I do. Food has always been a passion of mine and I've spent literally years practicing diligently. I just don't post it on the channel much as it felt weird to post it there, hence why I've made the second channel. I treat food the way I treat any other science and tend to make a lot of fancy food. Molecular gastronomy, fermentation, aging, baking, etc. I go all out when I cook. Youtube is my full time job. At the end of the day, I'm not a researcher or a scientists first. I'm an entertainer first. And not only have I become very comfortable with that, it makes me far happier than when I was just trying to be a scientist. I just happen to enjoy science and picking apart the world, and so end up doing research. I read a lot and find things I want to show off. I will treat the food stuff in the same way. Science is exhausting and extremely depressing and takes a level of mental fortitude to keep going that tends to break people after a while. Food has always been my escape, but as I started filming my cooking I realized I could make great food videos just the same as great science videos.

As a patron of your content, I don't really want to see cooking as it doesn't interest me near as much as your scientific experiments do. That's all.
