The Big Patreon Revamp!

I know this is a day earlier than Aug 1, but we wanted to make sure this was here to reference for anyone new who shows up tomorrow.

This past year was our first year running a Patreon together, and we've learned a lot in this time. We discovered what worked well, and a lot that didn't, and we are ready to announce changes to our Patreon tiers that will be more sustainable and pair better with the new public content coming to the John Michael and Co channel. All tier prices will remain the same, but perks are altering:

Tier 1: John and Michael Gaming Videos

• John and Michael playing a game together

  • 3 videos each month

• Discord server access

These will be the same videos that John and Michael have been making (Portal, It Takes Two, Fall Guys, etc), three times each month on average. Group content (Tier 2) will be posted on the first week after the first weekend of each month, and John-Michael gaming videos will be the other weeks. This means that while the 4-person content is going away from Tier 1, the John-Michael gaming videos will be more frequent.

Tier 2: All Four of Us

All the Tier 1 benefits plus:

• Advice Q&A's with John, Michael, Tyler, and Katie

  • One video a month

• John, Michael, Tyler, and Katie playing a game together, chatting, or making tier lists

  • One video a month

The 4-person videos are changing and moving to Tier 2. They're going down to 1 time each month, and they will have more of a focus on Pokemon discussion. The Q&A's are also getting a facelift: the new focus will be on advice! You can still ask questions about our favorite cheeses, but we think advice discussion will lead to more interesting videos. We are wisened elders after all.

The other side content (the content with each of us individually) is going away, since we simply weren't able to keep up with them.

Tier 3: Nicknames

All Tier 1 and 2 benefits plus:

• Pokémon nicknamed after you in public YouTube videos

• Priority questions for Q&A's

We've already begun executing on the nickname perk, so those of you who have been Tier 3 will see Pokemon nicknamed after you in the new public content launching Aug 1. We figured this would be a better perk than the BTS videos and mailed-in art projects, which we simply could not keep up with. Priority questions for Q&A's is remaining the same as before. To get your nicknames in videos, you need to fill out the google form linked within the discord server.

This the revamped patreon! Our goal is to provide perks we are better able to provide consistently. And of course, the public content will be a lot more for you to enjoy totally for free. Thank you for your support, and we hope you're as excited for this new era as we are!
