TEEM,

Reactions will begin again on Monday, July 29th 2024

There will be a slight change to how and when we post. Doing all of this MUST become more sustainable for Madison and myself. There have been some Patrons who left as a result of my fatigue and I'm glad they're gone :)) I can't ever make those people happy. Their expectations are unrealistic...

For the ride or die Patrons who are still here with us, you are GOATED!! We love you all and we truly do this for you!

"Creator Burn Out" is a real and terrible thing. The constant pressure to post content all the time is like a 1000 lb weight attached to your body. This type of work requires us to be present physically, cognitively, and emotionally. Regardless of if we're feeling sad, tired, or just having a bad day, we must put a smile on our faces and pump the content out because if we don't, we lose our "supporters"

Addressing some of the previous comments -

"Hire An Editor" / Our Output

  • We have somebody specifically tasked with creating the Naruto YT edits. Besides having that person do the YT edits, we cannot afford an editor. We simply do not generate enough income to do so.

  • Some Patrons have complained about our output. Give or take, we post 5 reactions per week on the DB channel and 5 reactions per week on the Naruto channel.

  • EACH Patreon has had a minimum of 15 uploads per month

  • Between both channels, we post EVERY SINGLE day of the week on YT!

  • We've been compared to other reaction channels who post daily on Patreon. These channels have hundreds of thousands of subscribers. We are a small reaction channel. We cannot compete with them and their teams.

The Purpose of Patreon

  • The purpose of Patreon is to support your favorite creators so that they can continue to create the work that you love & enjoy

  • In return for your support, we are able to give exclusive benefits to our Patrons.

  • For our Patreon specifically, some of the benefits include - UNCUT, Early access to our reactions, exclusive content like Patreon Recommendations, Podcasts, and Filler Episode / Movie Reactions

  • Patreon is ALWAYS optional.

  • Most of our content eventually goes on to YouTube where it is free to watch

"Upload Schedule"

  • Our Patreons DO NOT HAVE an official upload schedule

  • The main promise of our Patreon is to be ahead of it's YT counterparts

  • The Patreons have ALWAYS stayed ahead of it's YT counterparts

THE FACTS

  • I WILL take time off from working when I'm fatigued

  • I MAY burn out again in the future

  • Regardless of if we have 5 Patrons or 500, we WILL CONTINUE to do these reactions.

Madison and I appreciate our Ride or Die Patrons. I know some of you by your names :) YOU have given us the opportunity to do all of this! I'm eternally grateful for your unconditional love and support. I do not know how to ever repay you...

Rudy Gonzales

Thanks for having us Baris And Maddison! Always look forward to the next reaction. Take all the time you need and focus on your health.

Tony M

Well said. You're a G

John Strong

For some strange reason some of your videos and movies won’t play anymore they just go to a white blank screen when I click on them

Robbie Pedota

Love you and Madison so much! Take all the time you need I’ll still be here when you return! You both are my go to when I’m feeling down myself (and believe me I’m going through a lot right now). Just know you are keeping people from struggling and we love you for it. In a way idk how some of us can repay YOU ❤️

Bloomidge

Yours and Madison's health are top priority, brother. Take the time you need. If people want to complain, there's literally hundreds if not thousands of other reaction channels. I'm grateful for everything both of you have done for your community and I intend to continue supporting you two through this journey. Rest up, and much love to you both.

Cryptic

Pateron/content creation is like a business. You will burn out eventually when you are also working another job. It's understandable, but when you do generate more income and is able to afford an editor it will be less burdening and you can focus on the fun stuff instead of the hard work aspect 24/7. I hope you recover soon and enjoy both of your days off!

Eric

You good bro, it’s understandable

Joe Leszczak

Will always be ride or die. I love going back and rewatching your reactions as it makes me feel like a kid watching a new episode for the 1st time with friends. As far as a schedule maybe take a break from uploading but not filming so when you do need to take a break there is content to put out. I am currently here for the DB reactions mainly and not Abridged and I will be perfectly fine if you need to drop to 3 reactions a week so you can have additional time to yourselves. Hope you enjoy the rest of your summer. Remember the words of Roshi "Work hard, study well, and eat and sleep plenty! That is the Turtle Hermit way! We must master the art of peace in addition to the art of war!"

Adrian Gonzalez

Take all the time you need, we'll be here.

Alex Ucles

End of the day you're still one of the most consistent reactors and it's cheap. And realistically I'd rather you guys be in good mental health for the best reactions. Us normies will never complain when you take breaks cuz we get it. Only the few neckbeards that left are the only ones who complain. good riddance. They need to get a life and touch grass lol

SSG2PRO

To quote Dragon Ball, "Move well, study well, play well, eat well and rest well. That is the Turtle Hermit way." Please take the time to readjust. We all care about you both and look forward to future reactions.

The Shiz

Don't worry dude love your reactions been watching since you started dbz

Anthony Agrusa

You just focus on taking care of yourself. I know you will be back posting the best content online again soon!

jonathan

You must do it for the fun of it and not to try hard it too much anyway ( even if everybody want to make money for something they do , its normal ) . But if u dont take rest when u need it , u may keep some patreons for a little longer but u will loose everybody when u will give up the channel if u are too exhausted . Madison and you take a good rest . Anyway people complain for one week without video ?? Like they never have vacation week at their jobs XD .

Adrian

No problem bro I get burnt out on stuff too like work or even playing a video game. Just take your time and you'll have the energy again.

Littlepip

I think the thing for a lot of people is that they feel like these regular uploads help them get through their day-to-day, myself included. But I also think those people are over relying on content like this, it can be tough. But the real issue is, if you're doing that for others, then who's doing that for you? Don't ever feel guilty for taking a break when you need it. I only enjoy the content when everyone's having a good time! Do what you have to do and we'll be here until then and beyond!

Hamza

Love yall! The real ones will be here when yall get back. Take care of yourselves 💪🏾

ShaGar

Keep it up. I’ve been a fan of your reactions. This is my first time watching Naruto and dragon ball thanks to you and Maddison.

Ryan Bayley

Hope you get better soon Baris, try not to let the negative comments get to you too much

Stephen Champion

I know exactly how you feel Baris and it does get draining and tiring, a rest is crucial sometimes and most of us understand and want you to take some time away when you and Madison need. Take care my friend.

Ubergamer

You don't need to explain anything, it's completely understandable

Barro

Take the time you need broski, mental health tops all.

Tomas Petraitis

everything is understandable, it takes a lot of energy and time, just take a break from the whole thing and regain your energy and motivation and desire and everything will work out for her, we'll be waiting for you with joy <3

Alen X

I think its pretty disrespectful to say "some left because of my burnout, good riddance" Those people were probably subscribed for a while, some longer some shorter, but they managed to bring you quite alot of money by watching your reactions, so I think its a bit disrespecting to them to say good riddance, that is pretty lame tbh. I doubt they left because of your burnout, why are you making yourself a victim? Like you have a choice how often you post here or if you want to take a break or when, they also have a choice if the regularity of uploads works for them or not and are free to subscribe or unsubscribe, or some might even subscribe from time to time because of the lack of funds, I have also subscribed and unsubscribed a few times here on different ocassions and not regulary being subscribed for a various of reasons, does that make me unworthy to you and good riddance? Really? People might have various reasons for watching some videos or reactions and maybe they just feel if the uploads are not regular and breaks here and there, it might not be worth the money they pay? Or maybe they are thinking to take a small break before subscribing again? You do charge for this patreon don't you? So its a business at the end of the day. You are free to take a 2 month break if you wish to do so, but do you think it would be fair to charge people here in that case? This post is not meant to attack you or your views or opinions, but I think its fair to say your opinion about things even if you disagree with someone, so I just wanted to share so maybe you can see things from another perspective.

Isaac

Y’alls reactions have helped me get through awful days/burn out phases by helping me mentally reset by making me laugh or crack a smile. I sometimes get extreme tunnel vision on negative days or periods of overwhelming difficulties but you always have to have some sort of reset or break so you can come back sharper with a more neutral and calm mindset. That’s my way of trying to zoom out and look at the bigger picture, it’s a marathon not a sprint so take your time to put in the effort to actually rest properly! If you ever need an extended periods of time like a month + I’ve seen other creators just pause the subscription and resume charging when they get back. Make an effort on resting well in all aspects for the week and see how you feel next week, wishing you well!

I'll let it slide. We got to remember he's not feeling the best mentally right now. I do agree with your constructive criticism though.

Ricardo González Vega

I mean, I truly appreciate that you open up like this, it requires a lot to do so. But in part enfuriates me that we got to the point that you need to do it. I'm not of the ones that comments usually, I just enjoy the reactions and chill, I give my fav in every upload and that's all, they're part of my weekly routine and I'm happy with it, since the namek saga I'm here. If there's some weeks that you can't post because you need rest, you're burnt, or something happened? Damn, I feel bad that you really came to the point that you felt like you need to justify what your do, really. You don't! It's human to feel overwhelmed sometimes. And only you two really know what you endure offcamera. To the people saying things like "where's the refund button" I say: F- you! We don't need you, none probably needs you. If you have this attitude about other people far have problems and try to open up, it proves that you just don't have the most basic empathy. And you'll be alone in your life, soon or later, not because we want, we don't really care or want anyone to suffer, instead because you put yourself in that situation, all actions in life come back, good and bad, just wait for it. We're here to have a good time, to enjoy while baris and madison enjoy, like a little family, like friends. And you're being bad people, selfish. Paying something doesn't give you the right to be a d#ckhead, I pay since the beginning one of the upper tiers, and NEVER felt like I have a right to tell them what they have to do. And all the people acting like that should really reflect about their lifes and why you act like this. Baris, big hug to you two and take the time you need! We'll be here, and you know it! :) ✨🖤

hunter kolberg

I just started watching your reactions and will stay subscribed to both channels because they are so enjoyable and will probably upgrade to a higher tier you guys are amazing and take all the time you need to recover I will continue to be here and to keep watching these because I love them, stay strong man!!

J Shug

I hear you and understand your feelings and frustrations, but I hope you choose to re-word this or think twice about this post. Regardless of if you are frustrated about people leaving the Patreon, those are individuals who chose to spend their money on you when react channels are a dime a dozen out there. I think it's just really misguided to not upload (which is understandable) but then also react poorly when people don't want to pay for non-uploads if you know what I mean. Times are rough right now with everything priced so high, to spend money on you in any form, you should feel honored that people love you enough to do that. Anyways, that's just my thoughts. Hope you read this and continue to know you're loved.

Dorian Espinoza
>>144578478

I agree, and I say this with all respect to the creators and not trying to be malicious at all, but leaving a Patreon because of a lack of content they're looking for is a valid reason not to continue to support. YT channels or any content creators lose views all the time because of a lack of content among many other reasons, and a lack of content is one of the biggest reasons for that, if not the biggest. After all, those people are choosing to pay for a service and if they feel they're not getting their worth, it's their prerogative to decide not to continue to pay. I also want to add that if the creators aren't going to add a release schedule or something similar then they should be transparent about it for any future patrons with a disclaimer. Also I wanted to comment on this part - "Some Patrons have complained about our output. Give or take, we post 5 reactions per week on the DB channel and 5 reactions per week on the Naruto channel" I think it's also unfair to tell us how much content is uploaded, a lot of us aren't subscribed to both patreons, why would that matter to us?

Dorian Espinoza
>>144557868

I agree on your point about a lack of uploads and why some people leave for that. I mentioned in another comment that for future patrons, there should be a disclaimer of transparency or a release schedule/something similar so they understand what to expect from the patreon

Douglas Murray
>>144557868

I hope he isn’t referring to me :') I've been navigating a tough financial situation for quite some time, relying on food stamps for meals. I've been a follower of Baris and Madison since the last major saga of Z (the Buu Saga), throughout the entire Super journey, and now OG DB. I'm also in school with a packed schedule, so I deeply empathize with Baris' fatigue and burnout, as I frequently experience burnout myself. I wanted to encourage him to take as many breaks as needed; there’s no pressure to maintain weekday uploads. I’ve intermittently paused and resumed my Patron support due to my academic commitments and financial situation, yet I always return. Their reactions are just so phenomenal—I consider them among the most engaging Dragon Ball reactors out there. This isn’t the first time Baris has discussed his health and the need for days off, which is both concerning and worrying. I hope he takes ample time to recuperate and enjoy life like anyone else. Madison's situation is also on my mind; she may be fatigued but not vocal about it, possibly leaving Baris to speak on behalf of both. I understand she might be intensely focused on med school or some sort of higher education (please correct me if I'm wrong), which could certainly contribute to her own burnout. With the announcement of planned breaks, I considered pausing my subscription until more content is available. As a student, it's tough to maintain subscriptions when there’s no new uploads. I often daydream about supporting them at the highest tier if I were earning a six-figure salary, but for now, I guess I will just remain a casual consumer. It's disheartening when temporary subscribers/consumers aren’t being recognized for their support, and even be seen as half-hearted supporters. I can't help but sometimes wonder if being a wholehearted supporter means to stay subscribed through and through, even during financial hardships? Whenever I cancel, I always note that my financial situation has changed, because it’s the truth. Nevertheless, I can't help but will always return to enjoy their content, and I hope this kind of intermittent support still places me among their valued regulars. P/S: Maybe irregular Patrons are recognized and appreciated for their support, but that sentence at the beginning "There have been some Patrons who left as a result of my fatigue and I'm glad they're gone :))" still got me and I felt guilty for leaving. I'm aware that Baris has explained that statement is for those who have unrealistic expectations for creators and misunderstand the purpose of a Patreon. I understand Baris must be really tired from having to explain to these people.

BarisTeeAnime

@JShug, I'm not upset about Patrons leaving AT ALL! People are free to come and go as they please :) My frustration is towards the expectations that some people have of us. Also, the unwillingness of certain people to understand that I'm simply fatigued. I express my gratitude all the time towards those who have chosen to become Patrons. I will always continue to do so. The patrons are the reason that we're able to do all of this. You are correct. Times are tough for everybody. This is why I openly suggest that people DO NOT join the patreon if they're not able to afford it. "If you're willing and able" is the common phrase that I use when even mentioning the Patreon. I usually follow these statements with "most of our content will eventually be on YT" I'm honored. I'm grateful. I'm also very misunderstood! I hope this comment allows you to better understand my perspective.

BarisTeeAnime
>>144578478

@Dorian, "lacking content" is a very subjective phrase. I truly think we do a great job in how frequently we post. Regardless of the Naruto content not being on this channel, this channel still gets a minimum of 15 uploads per month. To some this isn't enough and that's understandable. For those people - we simply cannot satisfy your needs. The patreon is NOT a traditional service. This is where the confusion occurs. The purpose of Patreon is to support your favorite creators so that they can continue to create the work that you love & enjoy. Your pledging a set dollar amount of your own free will so we can continue to sustain ourselves while creating more of the work you love. The promise of the Patreon HAS ALWAYS been kept (which is staying ahead of it's YT counterpart) There's also nothing "UNFAIR" in being transparent about how much we post on to this Patreon. In fact, I'd argue the complete opposite! :))

@Baris Tee - I promise you, Baris, the next time I return with a stable job, I’ll proudly be your Tier 4 Patron for as long as I can :D. I just don’t know how I can repay you for all the memories watching Z, Super, and OG on Baris Tee Anime Reactions. It's been a cherished part of my daily routine, or my daily rituals if you will, for the past two years (since 2022). Each evening after college, I remember I’d look forward to unwinding with dinner accompanied by an episode with you and Madison. I’m sure many fams here also have similar routines like me :)) You two are truly my favorite duo, a dynamic duo–I’m not saying this to curry favor. I often find myself giggling alone in my room, enjoying our favorite show together, and it’s fun to watch Madison’s shocked and surprised reactions xD This channel has been my steady source of entertainment for a long time. You guys have been a big part of my mental health journey. I've been combating depression for over 10 years and have been on a healing journey since then. It’s been a long journey, a long ride, and you two have truly become a big part of my life. It's bittersweet to think the show will eventually end in the next 60 episodes. I've been thinking that one day I should get into Naruto so I can keep supporting you. I never got a chance to start Naruto in my younger years. Perhaps the end of DB OG could be the perfect opportunity for me to start a new journey. I’m very sorry for the misunderstanding about the sentence in your post. We just haven’t really interacted much, and sometimes I just got the impression that my comments haven't really gotten much of your attention for the majority of my time here, perhaps because I'm seen as a bit of an outlier with unusual and unpopular opinions. For context, I didn't grow up in the U.S., so I did express my preference for different soundtracks in Z (Sorry, I’m still a die hard fan of the original Japanese score because it’s literally my childhood. I would become emotional and overcome with nostalgia whenever I hear the tune from “We Were Angels”), and also for that time when I used to defend and rationalize the rationale behind the “dumb and silly” Goku in Super. (It’s nice to see Toriyama-sensei have a very diverse fanbase from all over the world). I’ve been thinking that I might as well accept being an outcast in your community, but regardless, I still remain to be a silent enjoyer of your work, and I will always be here, checking your page religiously. Sometimes, I even worry I might accidentally spoil some details of the show for you, and if I have, I'm truly sorry. Despite our differences, I've always hoped for more interaction between us. Occasionally, I secretly wish you would ‘heart’ my comments :’) - but rest assured, even if you don’t, or simply aren’t feeling up to it, please know that you will always have my support. We're connected by this incredible show. Toriyama-sensei has united us together, so many of us together. I’m happy to see the growth of your channel and how large this family has become. I’m so grateful that I can get this chance to get the feelings and confession off my chest and clear the air. It feels like a nice closure I needed, and for us to understand each other better. You have to let me know if you guys will ever have a trip to California. We definitely need a fan meeting. I think of you both often and will be one of the first to congratulate you when you receive your Silver Play Button. I’m manifesting for you to achieve that milestone one day. But for now, please enjoy your well-deserved break. We need to get you recharged. Take as much time as you need. Rest assured, I'll make it up to you in the future when I can.

>>144578478

I agree but tbf the “lacking content” I kinda agree, because yall be takin breaks every 1-2 weeks in a while which slows down the content and makes people unsubscribe or leave pateron which is a valid reason but otherwise still good content.

I understand yall uploading alot n are bound to get burnt but to fix the problem wouldn’t it be best to maybe stop the Naruto reactions atleast till ur done with dragon ball or its bound to happen again n for us i think we rather know ur having fun then being exhausted

Bean W.

B&M I appreciate all the awesome content and I've been rocking with you guys on Patreon from the Cell Saga (my favorite saga) all the way to now. I absolutely feel you about being fatigued because I'm also burnt out from working myself. but I hope you feel better soon and take it easy...And thank you both for reminding me how much I love this series

That’s what I’m thinking. Prime example are the dbza uploads that they are milking by only making one ep a week. It isn’t even that hard to do all this. I’ve been working as an editor an this type of content is a piece of cake.

Ragestrike

Unacceptable for you to be human, i demand my patreon reactions now! 😤 😜
