Content Update July 2018 & more (Patreon)

I thought its time for another content update to let you folks know what I'm currently working on and some other developements regarding the channel.

As I briefly mentioned in the post about the last video, the NEXT video is gonna be a different one. I picked a historical topic that I find interesting (and I hope you do too) and decided to make a short essay (if you want to call it that) on it. So its not gonna feature any other YouTubers or refuting of nonsense as you're used to seeing from me but it will have a connection to how we treat information in the modern day. It should be out in about two weeks (hopefully).

Thanks to your support I was able to commission an artist who designed a thumbnail for this video which I REALLY want to share with you but I dont want to spoil anything. Needless to say, I'm more than curious what you think about me doing more videos like the one to come.

In August I'll have a bunch of days off work so I'll finally have the time to travel to the Wewelsburg which you guys voted for me to visit. The video of me visiting the Wewelsburg will most likely be Patreon-only so all of you will receive an extra video in the comming month.

Speaking of which, we just hit the next Patreon goal! Isnt that amazing? Initially I was gonna do this as a Patreon only Q&A but I think we better do this as sort of a hangout so we can just chat or you can ask questions if you like. Its up to you. I'm aiming for mid August but I'll let you guys know early on when this will take place.

I'm still trying to come up with something that I could do for the next Patreon goal so if you have any suggestions, I'm very glad to hear them!

One thing I'll do regardless when that Patreon goal is reached is considering to quit my job. With the current projects I'm working on I really struggle to balance my full-time job, social life and YouTube. Especially because the videos I want to do for you guys become more and more ambitious and require for me to read 2-3 books in a short timespan so I can keep up my ratio of one video each month. This is no easy decision for me and I'll have to give this some more thought because numerous factors play a role in such a big decision (exchange rates, tax-stuff and longtime planning) but if its possible, I would love to only do this. I couldn't have imagined even thinking about leaving my regular job behind for YouTube a couple of months ago but thanks to you, this might become a real possibility. Besides investing more time in my videos, this would also allow me explore other forms of content like talking to historians or other YouTube creators in podcast form, livestream disucssions/debates with other people on YouTube and so on. But before I get ahead of myelf, lets wait if I will even have to consider this. Its still a long way to the next goal and if we never reach it, thats okay too.

Btw, I have also added another Patreon Tier if you would like to receive a history book from me and I'm very excited that someone already took up on the offer! If you would like to aswell, please keep in mind that you will be charged by Patreon immediatly so if you pledge for this new Tier and dont edit your pledge before the start of the next month, you will be charged according to that Tier again.

Thats pretty much it for today. I hope all of you are alright and enjoying your summer.

As always, thank you for your support and I'll get back to reading now.
