Pausing the Patreon (Patreon)

Hi everyone!

I wanted to write a little update about why I'm pausing the Patreon and hopefully answer some questions preemptively.

You might have noticed a bit of a drop in the frequency of videos recently. This is primarily down to the fact that we're building out a new location for the studios/offices etc and this has soaked up a lot of our collective resources. We took an empty shell, and we've been building out a space that should allow us to make videos way more easily and also increase the quantity and quality of our product testing for things like reviews or technique developments.

I am hoping that we will begin operating from there from the start of June.

I appreciate very deeply all the support this Patreon gives the channel, and  feel like I haven't been sufficiently productive to feel like I'm holding up my side of the bargain. If I'm honest, I also feel the pressure of the Patreon and that has been stressing me out quite a lot recently as we've struggled to make the videos and publish the reviews we want to. With everything going on, I'd prefer not to feel that additional stress.

For that reason, I'm pausing it for a month. (Possibly more). Everything should continue as normal otherwise - there'll still be contests for equipment, the discord will still operate as normal, there'll still be videos coming and reviews published next month. Whether you're on monthly or annual billing, the effect should be the same: a month for free.

Thank you again to all of you for your support. I am very grateful to this community.

James
