🪩 Love to get your thoughts and feedback 🪩

*****Edit /Update***** I have no clue how this happened, but after I posted this asking for feedback, Patreon just turned on a membership option. I did not set that up, add any information, set a price, or save anything related to memberships. I have contacted Patreon, but I just wanted to add an update here first in case anything else strange happens. Thank you so much to those who have already purchased a membership. I really appreciate your support. Luckily, I planned on setting it up at $5.00 a month. The only thing I was going to do was make an announcement before turning on the membership and warn that purchasing through the iOS app, will cost you more (Apple started charging Patreon, and if they didn't comply, Apple said they would remove them from the app store. 🤦🏻‍♀️ It's a whole thing). So if you purchase through an iOS app, an inflated price will be listed, but if you log into Patreon through a web browser instead of the app, you should see the $5.00 price.

 Hi, Hello! I know this is a longer post, but I would greatly appreciate any input you may have about this Patreon's future. I’m exploring Patreon membership tiers to support the channel instead of a one-time paid post like I did for the Section.80 album. I’m leaning towards one tier for all paid Patreon content to keep it simple.

However, since we are in really early stages of building a community, I don’t feel super comfortable committing to specific limitations on the content, such as only posting full reactions on Patreon and shortened versions on other platforms. The main thing I’m grappling with is wanting to ensure that those who choose to support the channel financially are getting benefits worthy of your hard-earned money without limiting the options I have to hopefully grow, which comes from posting on other platforms like YouTube. Also, I’d still like to have something for those who take the time to join Patreon but aren’t currently in a position to support financially. That said, I feel comfortable guaranteeing that paid members would always have the earliest, longest versions and non-blurred visuals (such as a live performance or music video). That’s not to say there won’t be additional benefits, but it would be more fluid. Here are a few examples:

• Paid Patreon= Song reaction + music video (not blurred) | Other platforms= song reaction only

• Paid Patreon= Music video reaction (not blurred) | Other Platforms= Music video reaction (blurred video + posted a week later)

• Paid Patreon= Full album video | Other Platforms= 3 parts (posted over 2 weeks) | Free Patreon= access to previously Paid Patreon full video (after pt. 2 of 3 posted on other platforms)

• Paid Patreon= Full album video | Other Platforms= Few of the songs | Free Patreon= 2 songs not included in the video on other platforms

Ultimately, I just want to keep options open until there is more info on what works best for us all and the other algorithms I’m posting to. This is just my initial thought process so far I’m not set on anything so I’m absolutely open to hearing any thoughts or feedback🙌🏽

Thank you so much in advance! -Vambie 🖤
