Upcoming Changes to my Patreon

So as most of you have probably noticed, I've been uploading less and less each month, and there's good reason for this...

I got a full time job recently, so there goes most of my time right there. I also got a girlfriend who I spend most of my free time with, so that leaves me with very little time to actually work on videos.

That being said, I'll be ending patreon picked videos come January (I'll still do Decembers and Januarys but they will probably be late). The main reason is that these videos aren't exactly worth me doing. You must understand I see this as a business for myself and I'm losing money on this videos, well not exactly but I'm spending time working on these videos  rather than a commission. Also with my new workload and life balance, I don't exactly have to the time to create many videos, which if I'm going to create a video I want it to be a commission. 

So what does this mean for the patron tiers? Well they are going to be changed, I'm not sure exactly what each tier will be $ amount wise, but they are going to be for those who get commissions, essentially a percentage discount off of commissions, higher discount for the higher tier. Which might sound counterintuitive for my plans of making more money, but I'll be increasing my commission prices, so it'll balance out. This way there's still a way for people to support me without having to buy a commission and without burdening me with more work.

I'm still working on how I want the tiers to be set up, but the main reason for this is to lessen my workload. I'm grateful that I have 8 commissions lined up, but each project takes a good 10-20hours depending on the length of the video. Which takes a lot of my limited time. So if I increase prices, while I might get less commissions, I'll actually be able to get them done within a reasonable amount of time since they have been ordered (since their will be less of  a queue). 

Now I understand that this sort of sucks for the patrons, and I apologize, but I really only want my patreon page to be set up as a way for a people to support me without much in return, which sounds way greedier than I intended. I'll still be offering roles in discord which really isn't much as well as video files/downloads for those who ask for them, but I will no longer be doing patreon picked videos or giving free minutes to higher tiers. Depending on the tier there will be price discounts on personal commissions but will be limited to x number of commissions bought per month.

If you read this whole thing, thanks for reading!

Love,
