Operation: Overhaul – New Patreon Changes from 1st Oct 2020!

Hey guys! 

First of all, we just want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who’s been supporting us on Patreon – our growth has been absolutely insane, and we honestly can’t thank you enough for this! As you probably already know – most, if not all, of our reactions get copyrighted which means we make very little money on YouTube so having your support here truly is the driving force that allows us to keep doing what we do at the pace of what we do :) 

As we continue our dive into the Stray Kids world (and K-Pop as a whole) we’re starting to realise what kind of content we enjoy making and what content you enjoy – and thankfully these two are pretty much a perfect match aha!

So starting from the 1st of October, we will be focusing near 100% of our efforts on making far more K-Pop content and reactions – this means that along with our regular SKZ videos, we’ll be able to dive into more groups, and not just MVs but memes, guides and shows too! 

That being said, we wanna make it clear that we have absolutely NO PLANS of slowing down for SKZ! They will, of course, be the primary group we focus on because it’s what we genuinely love doing! However, the changes we’re making will allow us to finally explore MVs, memes, guides and shows for other groups as well :D

So we’re essentially planning on pretty much tripling the amount of K-Pop content we’re currently doing! But since we’re just a two-person team (doing all the filming and editing ourselves 😭), we do need to make some changes to our channel and to our Patreon to provide us the time and funding we need to make this exciting new direction a reality. We’ll list the changes and our explanations for them below :)

General Changes

Introduction of a Polls Tier ($1)
- Members of this Tier can vote in all polls that determine our next YouTube video

K-Pop Tier Changes

K-POP Tier ($3)
- Changed to Stray Kids Tier

Introduction of K-POP Tier ($5)

Since we’ll be covering lot more K-Pop now on top of SKZ, we felt it would be best to change the current K-Pop Tier into a SKZ Tier and make a new K-Pop Tier priced at slightly higher to reflect the extra content that we’ll now being doing in addition to SKZ :) 

We’ll be scheduling groups/companies for specific days of the week so please do look forward to this! And just a reminder, this isn’t just for MVs! It’ll also include meme vids, guides and shows too! For example, a general schedule could look like this:

Mon - SKZ
Tue - YG
Wed - JYP
Thurs - SKZ
Fri - BigHit
Sat – SKZ Twitch Reactions
Sun – Other Groups

IMPORTANT! If you’ve already pledged for a yearly K-Pop membership (which has now changed to SKZ) BEFORE this post went live, we’ll upgrade you to the new $5 K-POP Tier for FREE! Just hit upgrade and we’ll refund you the difference :)

And as for monthly Patrons, we recommend upgrading to the new $5 K-POP Tier after the 1st of October 2020 since we'll only start covering new groups after SKZTEMBER :)
 

Anime Tier Changes

First Mate ($5)
- Changed to Anime Tier
- Will no longer include K-Pop Reactions

Captain ($8)
- Changed to K-Pop + Anime Tier

Yonkou Tier ($15)
- Will no longer include the “Monthly Requests” benefit

The Pirate King ($50)
- Will no longer include the “Weekly Requests” benefit
*If you have already requested shows, these will be finished as planned (1 ep per week for each show) as long as the Pirate King sponsor remains in this Tier
These shows include:
- Girls und Panzer
- Heavy Object (1st cour)
- Zaregoto
- Princess Principal

The “Weekly Requests” benefit may return in some form at a later date after the current shows are finished.

Although we have a blast watching anime and giving you our thoughts and reactions, we sadly can’t continue with this many shows as the direction of our channel evolves. The main issue with anime is that we’ve had a really bad record of copyright blocks on YouTube even after making it “safe” by lowering the audio/fading the video. Even then, if we manage to get it up on YouTube, the videos sadly don’t do too well at all – which in turn hurts our overall rankings in the eyes of YouTube’s all-powerful algorithm.

That being said, we still want to continue doing anime reactions here on Patreon – it’ll just be slower than our current rate. And of course, after we finish Symphogear, we will be hosting a poll for its replacement :)

Final Words

We're honestly really excited for the future of our channel and our journey together and we promise to continue doing everything humanly possible to keep creating even more content that you'll enjoy :D And when the ultimate goal of becoming full-time content creators is finally reached, you can bet we'll be giving ya more than you can keep up with haha!

If you have any questions, please do feel free to ask! You can comment here, DM us or chat to us over on our discord! We're always active there so would love to have ya! :D
