Status of our YT channel
Added 2024-07-15 14:30:02 +0000 UTCGood Morning Primos! We hope you've had a good day so far!!
I wanted to take a minute to talk about the video we posted this morning about the STRIKE we got on our channel and how that affects Patreon. So for starters, if you haven't watched the video and want all the juicy details, go give it a listen.
But to put it simply, we need to make changes to the releases we put over on Youtube. Primarily, the quantity. We are in "salvage" mode in that the main priority right now, is to make sure our channel remains in good standing, especially for the next few months.
But what does that mean for Patreon?
Well, the short answer: Nothing. Luckily we haven't had any sorts of issues like that with Patreon so we will be able to continue our releases on here without any interruption. That being said, allow me a second to get a bit more transparent:
First of all, we have been having an immense amount of fun these last few months. RUN BTS has ramped up and is a weekly dose of a good time. And this season of Bon Voyage has been incredibly entertaining. That said, Bon Voyage episodes have gotten longer and longer, and we hear In the Soop is even longer than BV. Not to mention our effort in trying to do Bonus Patreon videos (we've done one 5 weeks in a row), and the extended length of YT videos for Album Reviews.
Because of our limiting recording schedule, it has been pretty tough lately to keep up. (We recorded roughly 12 hours this weekend in an effort to get ahead of schedule). The reason I bring this up is, burn out is a real thing and by being forced to reduce our Youtube output, it actually gives us a tad more breathing room which is great in the long run. It means we can do this for a long time π. But it'll also help us here with our Patreon content, mainly with upcoming "LONG FORM" content. So in this instance, we consider this a silver lining
TEASER TO UPCOMING PLANS
We recently finished the main OT7 album reviews (non Japanese), so we've already begun planning how to consume concerts ππΌ. We don't have a definitive plan yet, but we are working on it. Reason I bring this up is, we always knew fitting in ITS, RUN, and Concerts all at once along with smaller videos for Youtube and Bonus videos would be VERY difficult. But we are hoping the reduced YT load for the time being will eventually open opportunities to fit these into our recording schedule. We are still early in the planning phase but I at least wanted to let everyone know, it's all in the works : )
Sorry about the ramble, but wanted to give our Primos some additional insight.
As always, thank you all SO MUCH for the support you've shown and for all the positivity π

Comments
Another YouTube channel I follow and am a Patreon of is Enjoy BTS More. Last year she had to shut down her channel because she got two strikes (one from a Japanese Channel which is notorious for doing it and one from a channel that does fan cams). She tried working with the fan cam channel and gave all credits etc but was unable to resolve the issue. She was able to come back after a few months but I am sure it was very stressful for her. I know you all work and have family lives so all you do for us is extra. I have really enjoyed your BTS journey. Whatever you have to do for your channel but more importantly for your well being whether it be physical or mental, we will be here to support you. I have said it before but I work full time and donβt have a family so I canβt imagine how you all manage to be so productive! We appreciate all you do to create this community!

2024-07-17 07:50:17 +0000 UTCThis would be a good time to watch some videos on your own time and maybe talk about what you've seen..nobody will blame you for watching things on your own time. We all watch things when they first come out so why can't you on your time..just enjoy whatever you watch..and always love our handsome men..

2024-07-16 13:20:24 +0000 UTCPlease take breaks because losing reactors is such a real and sad thing. Iβve lost many reactors because they were burnt out. I just want yall to do this for fun and enjoy it. Not burn yourself out.

2024-07-16 09:02:34 +0000 UTCyou guys have the full on right to take breaks and enjoy the things you make, after all this is your journey and you gave us the privilege to watch your journey with you! your reaction videos are the best ever, and iβve been on youtube for awhile, you guys are amazing. i hope everything turns out well.

2024-07-16 06:09:00 +0000 UTCI'm good as long as you're still enjoying your BTS journey! That's the 2nd MOST important, 1st is Family & Health. π
Danie Vasquez
2024-07-16 03:05:29 +0000 UTCAs always appreciate you guys being so transparent and communicative both on YT and Patreon! Schedule changes are inevitable given how content length is everchanging, so I hope you guys know we understand, and you prioritize not burning out! π We trust that you'll schedule with your and our best interests at heart.
Seneca
2024-07-16 02:08:40 +0000 UTCI really appreciate the transparency and honesty, I bet many of us here do! It's refreshing to hear you speak frankly and are finding ways to avoid burn out and other anticipated negative effects to your health. It's a good example for all of us here as humans. Cheers

2024-07-16 00:59:48 +0000 UTCPossible who reports your channel are those who are very jealous bec of your channel's instant success and popularity.
Anthony
2024-07-16 00:30:41 +0000 UTCI'm so sorry about your YouTube strike. Unfortunately, that is the downside of all reaction channels and why patreon become a normal thing for them. All reactors end up on Patreon eventually because no matter how many ways they try to get around copyright it always get them. Try not to feel too discouraged but I know that it sucks especially for your YouTube only viewers. I hope you cans guys get a good rhythm back once the probation period is over and of course take your time if you feel like burn out is coming! Your content is worth the wait and health is always important!
Michaela
2024-07-16 00:11:35 +0000 UTCMost reactors post on patreon anyways so no worries and donβt feel pressured to post every single day. Even i had to take a break for a couple of weeks and iβm only on the watching side π You guys should consider reacting to only fan made compilation videos for yt maybe. That could help to calm it down a bit.
π
2024-07-15 23:38:26 +0000 UTCno worries yβall, just do whatever is best for you guys! i love your channel so much so i really hope youβre able to find a balance so you can enjoy all this for the long haul :-)
ash
2024-07-15 23:26:18 +0000 UTClike getting your account reported on twitter but with consequences so if you have three strikes on a YouTube channel it is highly likely that your channel can be deleted

Tetebread
2024-07-15 19:59:14 +0000 UTCit sucks to hear about the strike!! youtube doesnβt really have a pattern when it comes to stuff like this theyβll go after some ppl and not others. it would be sad to lose the youtube channel all together so iβd rather you post less on there than lose it all!! and making certain posts on here public like yβall had been doing when vids get blocked is probably the best way to go about it!! and personally iβm excited to see how patreon shapes up cuz of it as well!! i also hope yβall never stress about content to the point it feels tiresome or like a burnout π this is meant to be fun so make sure to take care of yourselves and donβt wear yourselves too thin!! weβre here for the ride no matter what!! π

2024-07-15 18:39:13 +0000 UTCi'm sorry that happend to you.. if you feel burn out, just take a break.. i think we will understand.. at least i understand that you just human π i'm not going anywhere π
i love purple
2024-07-15 18:36:11 +0000 UTCIn times like this Iβd say maybe skip the Japanese content (for now) just to be safe. All of the Japanese content is very very very strict.
Madison
2024-07-15 18:32:55 +0000 UTCThe YouTube strike does suck, and it really sucks that itβll effect the YouTube content. Iβm ALSO really excited to see what this opportunity lets yall do over here! Looking forward to it

2024-07-15 17:47:30 +0000 UTCI must say that when I saw the announcement of the YT video I was relieved to be on Patreon, I hope everything goes well, and remember that you guys deserve your breaks. When you are happy and enjoying yourself is when we enjoy the most. Do whatever is necessary, we will be here supporting you.

Dthar
2024-07-15 16:33:24 +0000 UTCI think you already do a lot. Take care of yourselves FIRST... Be careful with Japanese content, they are very strict with copyright issues, and block or strike videos in YT very fast.
Lisa M T
2024-07-15 16:05:58 +0000 UTCThanks for your consistent honesty and l look forward to many more years of your reactions. Borahae.
TaeMaquis
2024-07-15 15:50:00 +0000 UTCTo be honest I am constantly amazed at your weekly schedule (sometimes I even have trouble keeping up with your releases). Taking care of yourselves and your family time has to be the priority.
TaeMaquis
2024-07-15 15:46:51 +0000 UTCI would just post everything on patreon the stuff that you put on YouTube have it for free on patreon. But the stuff like and in the soop and bon voyage stuff like that we can pay for. YouTube sucks I will just forget the YouTube
Lynnsey Wiggins
2024-07-15 15:37:01 +0000 UTCBurn out is real . Having to juggle all this content and the anxiety of yt blocks must be immense. Its no wonder so many reactors post mainly on patreon and only post short videos on yt ( and most of them are just the new mv or some random tiktok compilations ) or quit altogether after some time. The amount of bts content is definitely neverending π even if you finish up the docuseries or ITS theres still all the solo stuff and run bts and interviews and concerts and suggestions from comments etc etc. Im sure you have them all in your schedule. But its very understandable and vital for you to take a breather. Im sure you will figure things out about the yt situation. Im sure fans will be happy even with edited videos (xen is the best at bts memes i miss her ) . And what more could we primos ask for ? ITS and run and concerts . Its like the holy trinity . Its enough for us. Please take your time and solve what troubles you. We are having fun with you because you have the best time with bts. So we want you to enjoy the content stress free and relaxed. Theres no bad bts content and theres no one path to this journey. Its meaningfull only if we enjoy together π looking forward to whatever you have planned for us ccw π (sorry for yapping) FIGHTING
Nikolina
2024-07-15 15:24:54 +0000 UTCSorry to hear about the yt strike.. that is really a bummer !! Take care of youself and yeah I think most of us here would be fine with breaking up concerts into parts or ITS episode say in 2 chunks as those can get pretty lenghty once you factor in the commentary in between, the intro and outro.
Ada
2024-07-15 15:24:38 +0000 UTCWe understand . Hope nothing bad happens in the future . We really enjoy your reactions
mimicha122
2024-07-15 15:20:23 +0000 UTCAh, the youtube strike is unfortunate. All the best as you guys figure it out. We don't want you guys to burnout. The essential thing is for you guys enjoy the content. So take your time!

2024-07-15 14:40:08 +0000 UTCYoutube strikes are really a pain, you are right to take it seriously, I heard it even got worse lately for Hybe contents. I'm also kind of glad you're thinking about taking it more easy, I hope you know you could cut your content in half and still have a patreon worth every penny. I'm always worried you'll burn yourself out and I'm picknig long term over a truckload of content any day. That being said... LONG FORM???? Amazing news, lowkey hoping for concerts or the memories (the dvd of their behind the scenes, one per year) Honestly In the Soop *is* long (less episodes though), you could cut the episodes in two if you want
