Sponsor and Ad-Free Videos Now Part of $5 Tier
Hey folks!
After gathering your feedback across Patreon, YouTube and Discord, we have decided to move the sponsor-free video perk down to the $5 tier so that more of you can take advantage of it!
Anyone at the $5 tier or above now has access to our sponsor-free video playlist which you will find pinned at the top of our Patreon page. The videos in that playlist are also free of YouTube ads.
In addition, we are working on a new perk for the $10 tier to replace sponsor-free videos moving down a tier.
We'll have more details on that later with our upcoming quarterly report update, alongside some few other announcements of projects we've been working on.
We got a lot of great feedback from all of you that helped make this change, and we're also happy with how many people actually enjoy the sponsors we bring on.
We have fun making the ads and have partnered with a lot of cool games, services and products and will be continuing to do so.
As always though, our Patreon is our most sustainable source of funding and our most important. Hopefully moving this perk down a tier convinces more of you to make the upgrade, and if you're not a Patreon yet, hopefully you consider joining us!
Thanks everyone!

Thank you! I subscribed immediately after I read this. I found $10 a bit steep. Listening to your podcasts and videos without ads is a lot more enjoyable.
The post with the pinned link is asking me to upgrade to the $10 tier.
Shouldn't be. Maybe try clearing your cache if you just upgraded.
Admittedly, I don't mind them that much, so if I have to come to the Patreon page to access them, it's unlikely that I'll take advantage of this
You don't need to come to the Patreon page. Just need the playlist from YouTube.
Awesome! Boooo ads, long live Second Wind. 🎉
Ironically this has reminded me that I wanted to move my tier up this year! Still going to though.
Cool!💖😄
