What would y'all like to see?
Hey everyone!
I'm writing this post to let people know I'm thinking of doing some revamping on the Patreon and changing some tiers around, especially the $10 one. I want to add more perks that mean posting more regularly to Patreon. But in order to do that, I'd love to hear more from people about what kind of benefits you might like to see from the Patreon. Are you happy with the way things are currently set up? Are there specific perks you'd be interested in seeing? Are you interested in more progress update posts? Let me know in the comments if so!! Hope everyone is doing well and having a good April!

This is entirely because of my personal interests as someone who likes didactic literature and effective altruism but not necessarily the culture around them, but I sincerely would love a HPMoR/rationalist community video from an outside perspective
I'm old as hell and your discussions about deep Tumblr-esque fandoms is fascinating to me Example: I read Homestuck when it was relatively new but fell off before it ended and didn't interact with the community and it's bonkers to hear about everything about that.
More frogs, because frogs are gay
I'd love anything but I've been increasingly more curious about your D&D campaign and play experience
I watch your content because I tend to like whatever you put out, I trust your judgement. The same goes here, I understand if you were fishing for suggestions but whatever you pick will likely interest me.
I would really love to see unstructured rant videos a la jenny nicholson’s patreon!
Idk how silly your outtakes are from editing but I always think those are fun bonuses.
patreon exclusive behind the scenes vids and with behind the scenes i just mean you telling us what tea/beverage youre drinking in the vid
It could be fun to get a pre-video snack vibe alert. Like “Hey, this is gonna be a deep dive into early 2000’s Anime convention culture. Stock up on Bawls Guarana and Pocky!”
Small Audio episodes of (casual) reviews of series/books/ttrpg systems you like. Maybe sometimes rambling about rpg stuff with folks :)
One possibility I think would fit your style well would be something akin to how Jenny Nicholson does monthly 'ramble' videos, where her higher tier patrons get to suggest/vote on topics, and then which she makes an off-the-cuff, less-edited video about. I'm sure a lot of us would be down to hear you gush over some random casual topic or interest without needing to invest as much rigor as you and Emily put into the main videos
Came here to post this. Monthly subscriber only videos with topic voting and an informal feeling. Could be you and Emily talking, too.
What I don't like to see (as a gated benefit) is any kind of media, especially if it takes significant effort. IMO, once the thing has been made, as many people as possible should be able to enjoy it. The DRM required also tends to be a bit onerous. Obviously there's a business aspect to this, and I have no meaningful perspective on that. But purely personally, I'd much rather just pay than be a paying customer.
I’d love project update/progress posts to get an idea how things are going researching/working on upcoming videos, yeah!
I don't do much social media these days so I really appreciate update posts of all kinds. :)
Maybe voting on certain topics for vids. The top one can either be the vid you make and you don't make the others or the one you prioritize and the other vids can come after,
I agree with this! I think it’d be fun to get to vote on what topics we get videos about
