I've run out of room in the description (Patreon)

So I noticed this on my last video and have been ruminating on what to do about it, but figured it was better to just ask all of you. Currently one of the benefits of the $5 tier and higher, or membership over on youtube, is getting your name in the description box under the videos. But thanks to the overwhelming outpouring of support from all of you I've actually hit the character limit and it's cutting into my ability to post links to papers and citations and such.

So what do you think I should do about it? I've been thinking of having a dedicated and permanent wall of supporters page on my website with all the names of everyone who donated at the $5 tier and above. Would this be a satisfying compromise? If not, what else would you suggest? I'm open to all ideas.

For the $15+ tiers I'll still be maintaining the names in the end credits, so that won't change. But I'm not sure what to do about the lower tiers. Also the $1 tier+ will now have discord access as you may have seen from my earlier post.

Let me know your thoughts.

Cheers,
-Justin

There's also a small UX downside to having a long list of names in the description block. When I open it just to get some links, I have to scroll quite a bit to find the "Show Less" button. Not a big deal, but becomes a bit annoying with time, especially since many other creators do the same thing. As to a way to fix it - I cannot think of anything but just moving the list of names to a separate document.

Im apart of the $5 patreon teir that will probably be cut from the list. I think it would be okay to list the names on a website. I definetly wouldnt be offended. An idea I have that would be really cool if its not too much to ask is you could put a scrolling list of the names (maybe in alphabetical order) as an outro. You could then give priority/ bigger fonts and more screen time to those that donate more. You could even do something special for those that donate a lot of money like write their name in fluorescent bacteria on agar plates. Whatever way you decide to do it is fine. I just like having the ability to annoyingly point out my name to my friends who watch the video and tell them all about the exclusive discord of super cool people im apart of and how they should be a patreon donor too.

I don't need my name displayed.. I just need videos... remove my name if you need to

If I am able to move to a higher tier, not being listed in the description will have no impact on my decision.

I don’t need the gratification, but... how about chucking all the names on an overlay card and using that where appropriate - possibly also randomising the order each rebuild so the bottom left names get a chance to be seen :) (and chuck it up as a post on YouTube and here so those who want to go searching for their name can, and will know were to look when they see it in a video)
