I downloaded the live but it didn't come with the questions/comments from the ones that were able to join LOL. So, I'm just going to try my best at a post.

The very basic thing I was meaning to say is that I would like to start taking the YT channel in a certain direction. From what I can see, I have two specific choices. 1) try to keep growing as a reaction channel or 2) run it more with an agenda, in this case, the Sober Guy stuff.

Simply growing as a reaction channel is totally fine, but it means I NEED to watch things that are popular, trending, viral, etc.. Which honestly isn't my thing really. It wouldn't be a problem to go forward and just go with the trends, but I wouldn't be all that into it and I don't think I would react as well. Or as genuine. OR, as much for that matter LOL.

Running with the Sober Guy stuff gives me the chance to possibly help people, which is really what I would rather do. It definitely means things will grow more slowly, but I would be more passionate in every aspect of the reactions. Sharing my story and being willing to express emotions is what got me to where I am and I love reading everyones input and experiences. I feel like this is turning into an awesome community and I would much rather run with that in mind, rather than trying to be just another reaction channel.

But this does mean a change in what I'm watching, and watching things with much more of an agenda. It is also combined with a much bigger collaboration with Audreys channel, as well as some cross over with whats available in both Audrey and I's Patreon. Meaning some things that are on her Patreon, will also be available here. I will be reacting with her on A LOT of her videos and she will be joining me for at least one reaction a week within the Sober Guy theme. Which I think will be an awesome addition as she is much more sheltered from the experiences I've had.

What all this means right now, is where you (my Bestesses) come in! Bly Manor is over and GoT can easily be moved to a slot for the Basic tier, for everyone to watch. What this means is we can structure what my Bestesses get from your elevated support. You have no idea how much I appreciate you being in this tier and I am CONSTANTLY questioning if I am doing you justice. But this gives me the chance to truly cater this category a little more for you and I would like to take advantage. Let me explain what will already be available when the change happens, soon after Audrey returns from her trip....

Basic tier (also for Bestesses) will be getting live reactions with Audrey and I, watching her paid song reactions. This is what doesn't make it to YT and won't be anything Sober Guy related. Just her and I reacting to a bunch of stuff her Patrons have requested of her to watch. We will have A LOT more fun together and will probably be longer than 2 hours a session. ALSO, one long form (like a movie or doc) collabreaction (see what I did there LOL) where Audrey joins me for a Sober Guy themed watch of something. Highly music related at first but plan to move into a broader scope of celebrities that have faced addiction or have perished from there addiction in one way or another. Add to that, 2 tv shows like Shameless and something else (can totally be GoT cuz I've already started it).

Bestest tier will get the full COLLABREACTION (I'm liking that word now LMAO) of Audrey and I's watching of All song reactions that DO make it to her YT. This is only available on her Top tier on Patreon, raw and now with yours truly joining in. Like Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Lady Gaga coming soon and other artists like Demi Lovato, Lana Del Ray, etc..

PLUS....

Whatever we decide LOL! And this is where we are now. The options I wanted to give you, just to get the convo started....

1) 1 or 2 shows EXCLUSIVELY for YOU. Doesn't have to be Sober Guy and total time can be up to an hour and a half, meaning 1 show (or movie I guess LOL) up to an hour and a half long or 2 shows equalling that amount of time... a week!

2) GOING LIVE!! This is something I would really love to do with you and we can do what ever! Search the web and you can suggest things for me to watch right then and there, can simply talk about what I'm already watching, ask questions about me and my experiences, watch a tv show episode or something like that... WHATEVER! I'm totally willing to dedicate myself to this idea bi-weekly at first and maybe more in the future if it gets any momentum. AND, I can watch a tv show of your choosing, for the off weeks.

These are the best ideas I could come up with off the top of my head but the purpose of this post is to stir up the pot and see if any of you can provide some others. I am very open to hearing your feedback and any other possibilities. SO PLEASE COMMENT! LOL

Feedback on what you've read or additional thoughts/ideas you may have. I plan to run a poll after this, with any additional ideas that come from this post. SO, don't be afraid of adding your input!

I say you should do what you're passionate about. You question yourself a lot and it kinda breaks my heart because you do a great job on your channel. If your heart and instincts are leaning toward the Sober Guy theme, stick with it! Those of us who enjoy you and your channels (both YT & Patreon) will follow and watch whatever you choose. I know you stress about “doing right” by us and honestly, if you're watching and/or reacting to something you're sincere and passionate about, it’s much better for us as your Patrons because you seem much more comfortable and much more relaxed on screen, and your reactions are just naturally great. Plus, you’re doing something you love so you aren't constantly concerned about whether your direction or reactions are wonderful or not. Also, your collabs with Audrey will be amazing! Can't wait for those! Have you thought about doing what she does (maybe not weekly, but bi-weekly or even monthly) going live and watching requested songs with those who join the livestream? It’s a lot of fun, so maybe think about something like that…? Whichever avenue you choose, have confidence in what you're doing and try not to be so hard on yourself (easier said than done) because there’s no “wrong” way to react. Hope this helps! 😊

It does! And the idea of going live totally revolves around what you mentioned. Just having fun with who ever is able to join and throw it up as a recording later for everyone else to watch and comment from the bestesses.

Hey, I feel like option 2 would be really amazing. Would love to hang out every other week and watch some videos together! I also really like the idea of expanding on the sober guy theme since that - like I already told you during our talk - is what I find so special about your content. But in the end I feel like your preferred way will turn out to be our preferred way as well since it will make you happier and therefore the content better.

I might have a project or two I could use your help on if you have some time available. After some of these changes happen, I can contact you and talk more about it. Let me know 🙌
