Patreon Changes - Channel Update

I am looking to make some changes to Patreon over the next couple of months.

The first one is I am going to test out making my $20 game release list every week instead of every month. If this is something I think I can do I will be changing from monthly billing to rolling billing.

Patreon desperately wants me to change to the rolling billing model (you get charged every month the same day you sign up). For my lists it was hard to do this when I release a monthly list. So this month will be the test. Nothing will change for anyone until December at the earliest.

I am also considering tweaking some of the billing. The goal would be to do a weekly news style video on what the big games released are. The only way this will work is if I can do that while streaming. (I can post the VOD of that weekly for everyone at a certain tier or higher). Creating a regular video every week doing this will be difficult unless I include this in my streaming schedule.

That brings me to the next step, which is I will be testing out streaming on PicartoTV. I have to double check with PicartoTV admins to make sure adult content is still allowed on the platform. In the past you could stream there as long as the streams were marked as 18+. So, I will be trying to stream there likely in the next couple of weeks.

If this works out, most of my public streams will move to Picarto with Patreon or SS only streams being on my Discord. That will be a perk for any patrons or subscribers.

This is all subject to change, but I am trying to be a bit more efficient with my time. So let me know if you have thoughts about any of these changes. Thanks all for the support.
