Thoughts?

Situation is critical in China with collapsing infrastructure, civil unrest and political problems so it would be nice for you to comment when important events occur. Most important is the message and live / hot take on a critical development, not so much on how many or how often the posts are published.

I would be more likely to visit this new free Patreon content if the email was specifically marked up as such. I assumed it was all just 'late' repeats of YT content I've already seen, or some fleeting thoughts being shared. I supported by Patreon in the past but currently do not, so didn't think anything there would be visible to me, hence not clicking through at all.

To be honest I didn't know there was new free content outside of YouTube lately. I assumed most of it was behind a paywall aside from the email text.

To be honest, I only view through YT. Just subscribe to Patreon + Website to show support, but not view content.

MOAR!

It feels "bursty" like there will be a dry period and then you drop 5 episodes all at once. I'll have seen and watched 3 already and the other 2 I had been aware of but hadn't gotten the time to watch yet. This lends itself to the feeling of spam because, essentially, its arriving later than I see them on YouTube. Personally, I don't support your patreon for the content on patreon, I support it to support your larger efforts and as thanks for your work on YouTube. That's on top of a subscription to your website.
