What does Full time mean for S&P?
Added 2023-04-06 23:48:24 +0000 UTCHey S&P Fam,
Many people have been asking what our new move to full time means, so we thought we'd outline some realistic expectations for the channel moving forward.
At the moment, we are recouping as managing 2 jobs has meant a lot of overtime and weekend work. We sustained this for a long time in order to setup the channel, but this was not long sustainable long-term. Therefore, our uploading schedule will remain the same for the time being.
The plan is to hire a casual editor in the near future (as we have been doing well with our Patreon goal) as long as our support here on Patreon and over on YouTube remains similar to what it has been. This will allows us to eventually upload a little more here on Patreon as well as venture into things like Movies and Livestreaming which we're excited about. When this will happen exactly is something we are unsure of at this point in time, but its on the bucket list.
Once we get get the ball rolling we may even consider doing things like a third show (not sure if this will be interchangeable with movies) and potentially even more Patreon exclusive shows/content.
This is what we envision for the channel moving forward, but all this will take time, planning and depends on what we can afford so we will communicate each step along the way.
For now, we are just super excited and have been settling into our new jobs thanks to you guys, which is now allowing us to achieve a better and much needed work/life balance. Once we feel were ready we will be able to introduce some of the things mentioned above.
Hope this clears many of your questions!
Love Spartan & Pudgey ❤

I am primarily here because of your reactions to House of the Dragon, Game of Thrones and Avatar. I know that I am one of those somewhat annoying fans of George RR Martin, who is always encouraging you to read the books. I especially think this would be a really good thing for you two, as you seem to really enjoy the world building, with all the history and detail that goes into it. I have always thought that there is an opportunity for reactors to Game of Thrones to capitalize on this, after they complete watching the series for the first time. I completely understand why people who are reacting to the series would want to hold off on reading the books until they have finished the show. After that, I think there are lots of book fans, and maybe other people who have not yet read the books, who would like to experience your reaction to the books. And I think there are different ways this could be accomplished, whether it is done on YouTube, or strictly for Patreon. For example, you could read several chapters of the first book, and then rewatch the episodes that cover the same timeline. This could result in discussions about what is done differently, or was adapted faithfully, along with discussing things that the show left out. It could also result in some live stream discussions. In other words, there are quite a few ways that something like this could be a unique opportunity for show reactors to react to the books and engage with their followers, who are also big fans of the larger universe that these books create. Since you were posting here about where you are considering taking your channel, I thought I would throw out these ideas for your consideration. You could discuss them with your Game of Thrones moderators, who I am sure would have additional thoughts about this.

2023-04-18 00:24:55 +0000 UTCA piece of advice , stay connected with your fans, but remember we are a pretty fickle.i have written to Netflix and never gotten a response. I still subscribe to Netflix. You have connected to your audience , and we are here to watch . Don't fret, keep it classy. What a terrible pun to end on .
Stannis loves grammar.

2023-04-07 08:18:22 +0000 UTCI always believe great things shouldn’t be rushed. I’ve enjoyed your guys reactions/discussion and I think everyone can agree this is what sets y’all apart from other reactors.

2023-04-07 00:26:16 +0000 UTCI'm here primarily for *unedited* reactions but damn, I gotta say, whichever one of you two edits your videos right now is absolutely brilliant. These edits are the best in the business IMO. Not just for the discussions, which are hilarious, but for the show itself. Too many editors omit key moments or focus on the wrong things (like reactors' dumb jokes or irrelevant ramblings). They don't get that a silent reaction over an important moment is better than reactor comments over some irrelevant shit. I hope you ensure that the editor you hire maintains the same vibe as the current editor!

2023-04-07 00:04:30 +0000 UTC“Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken”… Ha, So you’re aligned with Ramsey, makes sense. The Boltons and Freys work together 😏
Joe
2023-04-07 00:01:32 +0000 UTCBest of luck to you! When I think of a decision like this, I get cold sweats on people's behalf. I'm sure you've thought all of this out, but I'll say anyway to make sure that you build a huge savings/investment pot, and use the extra time to make sure you're brushed up on new skills for if something goes kaput with regards to Youtube, Patreon, or just running out of shows, lol. But yeah, I never in a million years would have pictured myself donating to reaction channels, but it's become my favorite way to revisit my old shows, and I love your discussions and banter.

2023-04-06 23:57:06 +0000 UTCIt's good to see you guys think carefully and cleverly about how to navigate and maintain your careers and the channels success :) a lot of people don't talk about this kinda stuff but most of us have careers and it's it's just good to see good people climbing up the ladders of success! Like you two
