Hi Patrons,

I think this review is going to be exclusive to Patreon. I can't bring myself to post to the main channel anytime soon after how badly the last video did. I also don't want to post this sort of dry-ass, introspective content after the last thing which was wildly personal and more in line with what I feel like than the Realpolitik objectiveness of the person in this video.

If I were to pivot to only making content for Patreon and doing streams and stuff for you all, what would you think? Would you engage with that? What would be beneficial for you, if anything?

Here's my review of the Moog Labyrinth: https://youtu.be/3wTYSkhP3D4

Honestly Jeremy, just do what feels good for ya, man. I'm not going anywhere, I want you to be happy and enjoy what you're doing, and I'll back you on it, whatever that looks like month to month. If all you do is let your crazy out a bit on the toobs from time to time, like Worm and Intrusive Thots and the occasional Pet Rock style wild demo, that's fine. That's the Jeremy I love to see, even when I know it was a struggle to give that to us. It makes my own struggle feel less shitty, in a weird way, even though I wish we were both doing better. <3

It’s a great video, I’d put it out!

Here for whatever, bro. I like your review style, which is what brought me here in the first place. I like that you let us in to a more personal aspect of your life/mind, which has kept me here. You post things that are both highly relatable and highly unrelatable to me, and either way I find them interesting. Even if unrelatable at times (personally, that is), it's always funny or thought provoking, which are two of my favorite things. Do what makes you happy. You do you. Don't let others do you, unless you want to be done by them. But make sure they know that you might do them back. ...and stuff

I’m just going to echo what others have said; do whatever works best for you, I’m not going anywhere.

chiming in to say... from my perspective, go for it, release whatever you're passionate about through whatever model you'd like (patreon-only, public, a mix). One of my fav YTCCs releases her videos almost exclusively to patreon subs and I sub for them. I wish a platform like nebula or curiositystream might provide you a better financial model than the one you have on youtube at the moment, but I know both of them are problematic in some ways.

Christian Rasmussen

Please do what ever makes sense to you! But know that it is a great review, with a nice personal angle, well worth of sharing with the world😊 Also I don’t have any issue with your releases changing in tone. Some things are art, and others are more factual… I’m here for it all! You actually present a nice range in your videos e.g.: The art in it self The process of creating And thoughts on tools used It’s different levels, and all interesting.

My $0.02. That Moog video should go up on YouTube, it's excellent. The infomercial parody (? not sure what to refer to it as) should have gone to the Patreon maybe. The really 'artistic' or 'out there' stuff is going to struggle on YouTube for the general audience thing. At the end of the day, do what you feel is best though it's your stuff. I enjoy your tone changes immensely, some are fascinating and deeply researched like the romper, some are a wonderful review like that Moog you just posted I thought that was very well done including your thoughts about the Moog nameplate being owned by a giant conglomerate and how it made you not are about it, and how that changed as you used it. Just rambling at this point I guess.

Matthew Paprocki

It’s really good and unique take on what I’d guess is actually a really common perspective about modern Moog. I didn’t watch other reviews on Labyrinth for similar reasons you shared, but I was intrigued to hear your take and you took it head on in a very insightful and respectful way. If I was Moog this is exactly the video that I’d want out there actually. I’m not going to buy it, but it opened the door for me to not just write them off after the acquisition. For the cost and know-how that it takes to create a modular alternative with a similar approach, Labyrinth really shakes out in this video as a great option and value for a lot of folks.

Dane Wagner

I think you *should* migrate to Patreon-only or even something like Nebula, as long as it supports you doing what you want to do. I hope as a community that we CAN support you, because it would free you from the YouTube algorithm and feeling like you have to put out content that makes you feel hollow. We'll be here following regardless.

I'd watched ... well, watched parts of or skipped around ... a half dozen videos on the Labyrinth before you posted yours, and I was not interested - honestly they all made it look like a glitchy drum machine and rambled nonsensically about a number of generative features that read like "nothing new". Your video was the first demo that was interesting that I saw, and also did interesting melodic things in different contexts with different gear, which, for me, is pretty important. In particular testing the limits of the sound beyond just going balls-to-the-wall glitchy extreme was really insightful, and I didn't see any other mention of some of the limitations which are kind of major issues for me - like the +5 voltage limit, for example. But more important: the performances were excellent, they were enjoyable, they were interesting, I enjoyed them, I listened to them right through and never got bored - can't say any of that for any of the other videos I watched. Or in general for gear videos. I'm probably not gonna buy a Labyrinth but your video infinitely helped me understand why beyond "well I don't want an uncontrolled glitchy drum machine at this time", which was basically my take from the rest of the reviews. Patreon exclusive stuff - that's a challenging question. I think as a patron, sure, I wanna feel more special - but is that worth limiting your reach? Are there videos you wanna make that you know would never fly on Youtube, but that people in your patreon/discord community might uniquely enjoy and learn from and be inspired by? The more I think about that the more it hurts my brain, so you have my sympathy <3
