[Important] Major Subscription Change at End of September (Patreon)

I'm not going to beat around the bush. I never liked this subscription model. If you pay a fixed price for a product, you get a mediocre product, which usually leaves half of the people wanting more and the other half not happy with the price. To not waste everybody's time, I'm going to lay out the changes first, then the rationale later for those who cares.

NOTE: These changes will happen on 9/30/2024, give you plenty of time to adjust your tier and take advantage of current content. 

==========

1. Curious Tier will drop to $3, but will only have access to Intro and Lv.100 files, making it more appropriate to its name.

2. Supporter Tier will be $5. Access to Curious Tier files + 4 latest Core Curriculum files.

3. Dependent Tier will stay at $9, Access to Supporter Tier files + 4 latest Elective files.

4. Addiction Tier will be $20 with access to all files and all current perks.

After the subscription change, I will make a high-quality bonus video to everyone who has paid for Addiction Tier since I started this page. Patreon tracks subscription history. You don't need to be an active Addiction Tier member at the end of month to receive this.

Reason for the Change

As you can see, If you were a continued Dependent/Addiction Tier subscriber, there should be minimum changes.

My main motivation is that I genuinely want to create visually and audibly stimulating hypnosis content. So I put in a lot of time into my narrative and editing. A flat fee for 4 videos a month encourages me to just make videos that are "good enough".

I also understand not everyone is into every file I made. Some people are not interested in certain topics. After the subscription change, I'll make files and bundles available for direct purchase. So you can choose which files to get, which potentially could cost less than the subscription.

There are also many people who pays for membership once, download the files, then cancel the membership. I understand the practice and I appreciate the early support. That's why I'm stilling allowing this until the end of September. But as our library grows larger, I just don't think it's fair to my long time supporters. So starting next month, Dependent Tier and below won't have access to all the old files anymore.

Right now this remains a serious hobby for me, but I wouldn't mind making it into a part-time or even full-time job. I think the subscription changes and direct purchase will get me closer to that goal, make it more flexible for future members, and does not seriously impact current members. Ideally, if people are open to the direct purchase model, I will gladly make 10 high-quality videos a month and let everyone decide which ones they want. But right now, I can't realistically charge everyone $25 membership for 10 predetermined videos a month.
