- I want to be on the credits page/want it to stay. 43
- I am neutral on the credits page (don't care about it either way) 325
- I don't want to be on the credits page. 45
Hello! So, this is a bit of an odd poll, rather than a content question it's kind of a housekeeping thing.
For the $10/25 tiers, I've maintained (poorly, at times) a page of credits. I show it on my streams, and I append it to my videos. This was originally added as a little thank-you bonus back when the $10+ tier had less content planned.
Now, years later, a few things have changed.
I've actually got real content being produced for the $10+ tiers.
I'm posting a lot less on youtube due to issues with the site, so the credits aren't really getting used as much.
There's a lot more people on the credit page and it is far more difficult to maintain, especially with people regularly cycling in/out.
The difficulty of maintaining has been compounded by a number of people (a few dozen, at this point?) directly telling me 'I don't want to have my name listed'. And that's fair!
Truth be told, I didn't even update it last month. It's a lot of tedious busywork that could instead be spent on, you know, actually making a new release. It takes me a number of hours to fully sort through people, edit it, make sure I don't have anyone who opted out involved, etc.
This is the kind of thing I want to reduce in the patreon: Busywork for things that may not be that critical.
So, how would you feel if I removed the credits page, and instead spent that time on other things? Either existing workload, or building up new things with the freed up hours (and mental energy). Of course, I'd like to replace the reward somehow. I do think the tier will be worthwhile even without it once I reach full speed on animation releases, but I don't necessarily like outright removing rewards without some sort of replacement.
Thank you for the support! I'll have more news on animations soon.
