Hey guys, the S6E10 video is going well, but it's still a couple days away. I'm pretty burned out after working on this Explained series all season, so once the S6E10 video is done, I think I'll take the rest of the month off – will pause the Patreon so no one'll be charged at the end of July.

While I'll (probably) produce no new videos in that time, I'll continue working with a consultant to redesign the production workflow, and start getting a production team together. So come August, we'll have a newer, better Alt Shift X, ready to leap right into all the new GOT theories and analyses, from then on until Season 7 – or Winds ;)

(The first video in August will be the Jaqen H'ghar video, which was chosen by Patreon vote before S6. We'll be holding lots more topic votes throughout the off-season.)

 

So that's the plan at this point – will confirm the details in a more official-y announcement later on – but what do you guys think? How do you feel about this direction for the channel and the Patreon?

I'm very grateful for your support these last months, and all the months before – 

this S6 Explained series would have been impossible without you. Alt Shift X has gotten so much better over the last year, and continues to get better, due to your support. So thank you!

I'm really happy you're taking a month off . . . you've done a hell of a job this season and deserve a break. =) Keep in touch though! I live for those updates ;) (And, well, hey I don't mind if you charge in July.)

Job well done, you deserve a break! :)

Take your time, we're not going anywhere and you need the break man!

Luke Freeney

^ just to add to what Kelly said, I don't think many of us will mind if you still charge us for July. I'd still like to contribute anyway - and none of us HAVE to contribute. We do it because we respect how much work goes into it and because we love your content. Glad to hear you're taking a bit of a break :) rest up!

Crystal Mason

Glad you'll be taking a break and coming back refreshed. No need to turn off the patreon for July! Great job this season. Can't wait for August.

Elizabeth Frum

You're the best. Take a good rest. Can't wait for this episode and for your return in August!

You definitely and absolutely deserve the break. I wouldn't even mind if you took a month and didn't turn off Patreon. You've earned it :)

Faye Harrison

I agree that you deserve a month off and should not shut off the Patreon. You work very hard for us, and we appreciate it.

Go for the break. I'm glad for your videos and I'm eagerly awaiting for your thoughts on the last finale episode of game of thrones season 6.

Alt Shift X

Thanks for the kind words, everyone! I'll still pause the Patreon, though, I think that's the fairest thing to do.

Alexander Leimbeck

Do whatever you feel is necessary Alt! Today's my birthday though, so if you can squeeze it out, that would be awesome. I'd love to show the video to my GoT-fan friends coming over! If not, no worries! I love the quality of video you strive for always! :D Cheers!

Caddaric

Enjoy a well deserved vacation! I look forward to the newly refreshed Alt Shift X come August!

Christina Englund

Please enjoy your well-deserved break, but keep Patreon going for July as well.

Alt Shift X

Happy birthday Alexander! This'll have to be a late bday gift, I'm afraid..

Dish

You're awesome man, seriously you make everything so easy to understand and present it in such an awesome way

Thanks for offering a month of no charge, but frankly everyone deserves a paid vacation! You have put out some great work! Enjoy your time off!
