Content

I did see all the lovely messages and thank you for all being so kind and understanding. I don't want anyone here to stress - Patreon is the least of my concerns when it comes to comments. Everyone is incredibly kind.

YouTube is where I'll be stepping back the most comment wise on a temporary basis. I will also be doing that on Patreon too for a short while but more so to just get myself back into a healthier mindset!

As I said - no one needs to worry or fear that they are the reason why I feel the way I do. I have to stress that this is very much something I have to personally work on as perfectionism and anxiety are not new concepts to me. Like any mental health issue there are ups and downs that we must ride.

I think with how fast the channel has grown in the last year it's brought a lot of people into my small world and it's definitely an adjustment. I've never had so many people invested in me or my content before so it can be a tad overwhelming and I don't think I've ever really given myself the space to understand that not everyone is going to like / agree with me and that's not an attack ON ME or that I did something wrong.

Rather, that's just a fact of life.

I am very much that type of person that if someone doesn't like me I want to know why and try and fix it because I don't like knowing that people don't like me. I instantly blame myself rather than understanding that everyone is different. We won't always vibe or even share the same opinions or interpretations and that's okay. I just need to work through the fight or flight reaction that comes over me when it happens.

Again - this is very much a me problem so please leave comments and engage with one another. I will catch up on the comments when I work through my thought process!

On a more positive note I have been thinking about creating little Chat Rooms on Patreon for each series I am reacting to so that you can all engage and interact with each other. I will not be viewing those chats so no worry of spoilers. But I thought it might be nice to create a space for you all to speak with one another without worry of ruining anything for me.

Would that be something people would like?

i think that’s a really fun idea! idk if you have a discord or something, but a lot of other channels have made discords with different rooms for different purposes. i feel like you have a lot of potential for growing as a channel and hopefully doing this for a living eventually, and from what i’ve experienced through other channels, discords dedicated to the community and also channels you participate in with the community promote a lot of growth and camaraderie within communities. i’d love nothing more than seeing your channel grow into being able to make this your main source of income because i look forward to your uploads every day. i know you’ve been posting a lot about this taking a toll on you because of comments and everything else you have going on, but just know your efforts are truly appreciated

Truthfully - now I've moved into my new position at work I definitely won't be doing content creation full time haha! I really love my new role and the security with pension and the good benefits! Content creation is so unpredictable, algorithms change, and income is never a set amount which can be stressful when cost of living is increasing. I like content creation being a hobby that I'm passionate about. When it becomes a job - there's more restrictions because your focus HAS to become about making money because you need it to survive. Whereas my full-time job pays for my bills so I don't have to stress or worry if my content doesn't do well or if I want to watch something that's less popular. Having a full time job grants me a lot more freedom at least with making content and to enjoy it rather than feeling like I have to do it to make a living. I do have a discord already from my time as a streamer :) There are Patreon members on there but not as active so the chat rooms on Patreon may be easier to access :)

Chat rooms per on going show would be cool idea, if you can stay away from them. 😅 Just a thought though, can you add a notice or custom message about possible spoilers for others as well? Maybe have "SPOILERS" on the name of the chat, so someone who might be watching along you, won't get spoiled by the discussion there. There's one mention of customizing chat "topic" in the Patreon documentation, but I don't see where it would show that on the UI, nor do I see any further instructions about changing the topic, so that feature might not be available anymore or yet.
