$5-$10 Perk Swap (Patreon)

Okay guys, so I've been reviewing various options regarding the stream issue in the future - well, really speaking, it already is an issue, but I will explain in a bit.

TL;DR: Too many patrons making requests during livestreams is not feasible, and while I have not hit max capacity yet, I am actually sitting on that line some months. So I need to address it before I get too many other $5 patrons.

The issue

Currently, the Livestream Requests sit at the $5 Tier. During the monthly livestream, patrons supporting me at $5 or more can make a single request, and I will sketch it during the course of the livestream
At this point in time, this has not exceeded any level at which I can sketch the requests without it exceeding any sane amounts of time - currently, my streams can take hours, and the most sketches I have made is 10.

Given my intention is to expand my patron base, I have to take into account that the number of patrons on this level will increase past 10, which I feel is a decent limit.
Starting a second livestream will ultimately only delay the issue, once the limit of 20 would be surpassed.

• As a side note, I actually already have 18 patrons who are eligible for a sketch request, so in reality, I am dancing about the fact that some may not be interested in a request, but others just don't normally show up due to other obligations. Should any of the latter decide to show up, all at once, I would not be able to handle every request for that livestream; best I deal with it ASAP, I figure...

Anyway, I had original envisioned moving the reward up to the $10 Tier quite some time ago in the future, however I also wanted to explore alternatives where I wouldn't have to move it at all. These included a "first come, first serve" basis, which would put some of my patrons at a disadvantage due to time zone constraints, and a kind of draw, which may also seem unfair in leaving it to chance. Keeping a ledger would also require me to keep track of all of my patrons - simple enough, however if I gain many $5 supporters in the future, they may be waiting for months for a chance to request, all depending on the numbers.

All of these options are not entirely popular, but I have to do something, and I would prefer to keep the livestream, as opposed to completely replacing it with something else.

The Swap

Originally, moving the request perk from the $5 to the $10 Tier would just be that. The $5 Tier would retain the Wallpaper, and the $10 Tier would consist of the Pinup and the Livestream.
Essentially, this leaves a gap at the $5 Tier, which appears to be rather popular.

So I came up with another idea: I swap the Livestream for the Pinup.

Basically, the $5 Tier would consist of the Wallpaper, and the patron version of the Pinup.
The $10 Tier would have the livestream requests.

Now, this should be fine in terms of numbers - I have 10 patrons eligible for requests, but only 4-5 of them are regulars. There may come a day where I will have to revisit the livestream limits again, however at a higher tier, in theory, it should happen at a slower pace than if I left it at $5.
Oh, another side note: compared to sketch commissions, the requests are actually cheap, even on the $10 Tier.
In addition, I am going to look at providing each patron with their own single sketch, rather than them just having access to the full poster collection.

Anyhoo... this is what I am looking to do.
At this stage, it is probably my best move. Changes to the tier rewards would not happen immediately (not like I did with the pinup replacing the poster mid-month), but if I do this, I will be making the change for June. :3
