Content

Just getting some feedback about how folk feel about this...

I've noticed some of the chattiest folk in the patreon discord aren't actually paying patrons, and some of them are making the same requests over and over. (Of course if you're supporting us financially, you're welcome to make whatever requests you like!)

D'you fine folk mind sharing with the freeloaders? or would you prefer we make that branch of our community a lil more exclusive? ;)

In a practical sense I'm fine with general chat, not being limited to patrons, and while I'm not against suggestions for stuff yeah it is kind of annoying that we have the same posts over and over from the same people that are just blatantly, "Do my kink" without even the attempt at making the suggestion something that might be interesting for people who aren't into that kink.

If there is a way to throttle, is throttling better or worse than silencing?

I voted "Patrons only" but as a Discord-lurker I'm not really contributing myself. In fact I'd say it's up to you, Lex. You are the one who is best placed to judge whether the input from those people is of value to you in planning your content, and whether the additional activity is a net benefit.

Hmm I put paying only at first but now that I'm thinking about it maybe some of the people pay but just not through patreon. For example until this month that I joined the patreon I would buy the clips I liked directly from your clip store site. But then again that was before I had "requests". When I saw you use the headphones on Maddy, I knew I would love to see more so I joined the patreon where an opinion can be tied to a contributor but in a way I was still a contributor before through the clip store its just that I didn't need to be known if that makes sense haha

The discord acts like an early peek into what's coming or what's available before the other sites. So it's still nice to have something like it even for those not paying (whether temporarily or never decided to). Another option is to keep suggestions & other content oriented channels patron only, having only the main/general open to public chatting.

I'm cool with everyone having access to some of the server, but maybe like a Patreon-only section/channels if that's possible?

Can we add a supporter role, or supporter only chats maybe? Not to social engineer but it might encourage people to join for a dollar to get a peak too.

I’m late to the discussion, but I’m frankly surprised (perhaps naive) that some of the most active chat participants are not subscribers. Call me old school (which I guess I am now that I’m in my 50’s), but making repeated requests when you’re not a member strikes me as ballsy and presumptuous. I don’t want to limit new ideas and innovation, but you should have a vested interest in the product before you ask for something new or different.

I think we're kind of on the same page. I'm worried that there's a few very loud voices not actually contributing anything in terms of support that are steamrolling over everyone else's interests. Thanks for your feedback.
