Status of our YT channel (Patreon)

Good Morning Primos! We hope you've had a good day so far!!

I wanted to take a minute to talk about the video we posted this morning about the STRIKE we got on our channel and how that affects Patreon. So for starters, if you haven't watched the video and want all the juicy details, go give it a listen.

But to put it simply, we need to make changes to the releases we put over on Youtube. Primarily, the quantity. We are in "salvage" mode in that the main priority right now, is to make sure our channel remains in good standing, especially for the next few months.

But what does that mean for Patreon? 

Well, the short answer: Nothing. Luckily we haven't had any sorts of issues like that with Patreon so we will be able to continue our releases on here without any interruption. That being said, allow me a second to get a bit more transparent:

First of all, we have been having an immense amount of fun these last few months. RUN BTS has ramped up and is a weekly dose of a good time. And this season of Bon Voyage has been incredibly entertaining. That said, Bon Voyage episodes have gotten longer and longer, and we hear In the Soop is even longer than BV. Not to mention our effort in trying to do Bonus Patreon videos (we've done one 5 weeks in a row), and the extended length of YT videos for Album Reviews.

Because of our limiting recording schedule, it has been pretty tough lately to keep up. (We recorded roughly 12 hours this weekend in an effort to get ahead of schedule). The reason I bring this up is, burn out is a real thing and by being forced to reduce our Youtube output, it actually gives us a tad more breathing room which is great in the long run. It means we can do this for a long time 😊. But it'll also help us here with our Patreon content, mainly with upcoming "LONG FORM" content. So in this instance, we consider this a silver lining

TEASER TO UPCOMING PLANS

We recently finished the main OT7 album reviews (non Japanese), so we've already begun planning how to consume concerts 🙌🏼. We don't have a definitive plan yet, but we are working on it. Reason I bring this up is, we always knew fitting in ITS, RUN, and Concerts all at once along with smaller videos for Youtube and Bonus videos would be VERY difficult. But we are hoping the reduced YT load for the time being will eventually open opportunities to fit these into our recording schedule. We are still early in the planning phase but I at least wanted to let everyone know, it's all in the works : )

Sorry about the ramble, but wanted to give our Primos some additional insight.

As always, thank you all SO MUCH for the support you've shown and for all the positivity 💜
