Changing back to a per video

Confirm I only see the per month options at the moment. I would like to change back to per video. How?

sure! whatever works for you!

I don't fully understand . I actually just became a patron and didn't see a per video option. As to that, how would that would as a patron I would be giving you x amount of dollar for every video. ?

You be you.

As a new patron, I haven’t experienced per video but I feel like it would be a better option. Especially if it helps you make videos to the best of your ability

Whatever option is easiest for you and works for you.

Do what you gotta do. Your channel has brought back my thirst for knowledge and has stimulated my curiosity back from stagnation. Thank you.

Tis cool with me. Do whatever suits you best.

I approve of doing things whichever way you feel comfortable. The value I get out of your work doesn't stop just because you stop creating content, so I'm fine with monthly too, but per-video works well for all the reasons you mentioned as well.

It’s all good, bud. Your videos are always good, and I appreciate your consideration in keeping us all informed on everything. Take care!

I really like that you lay out your thinking and reasoning as you try different things. I also really like that you're not dogmatic in your decisions, and say how things are different than you expected. I slightly prefer per-video, but encourage you to budget/plan in periodic time off/away-from-content-generation either way.

I preferred the per video; I don't care for perks. Your videos are the perks. Good now I can raise my donations again. :)

Definitely per video is better.

Unfortunately I'll just have to lower my pledge, is all. Not a big deal otherwise.

Works for me. I think most of us contribute because we benefit from your videos and want to see you continue, not because we imagine some kind of employment quid pro quo situation. However, thanks for being a good steward of our support.

Vi Hart, who makes math and music related videos has a bunch of tiers that are amounts that are symbolic to some of her videos/interests... so like one is $3.14 for Pi (which she hates) and $6.28 for Tau (which she likes) , one I think is $9.99 because she made a bunch of microwave countdown videos that started at that time. The differences in what you get at different levels are minimal, but people choose the level of support they want to offer, independent of the actual rewards. Some others will list your name on a website, or in a video at higher tiers, and that's nice, but it's not a motivating factor for me. For me, I like to give some support to all the major channels I watch, and more support to the ones I really look forward to.

I liked per video better as well. This might be the thing that finally gets me to use discord.

You can always cap it to suit your budget, say at 4 videos (which is above the typical), then plan on that and be under budget most of the time.

How ever you decide to do it works! (I do agree though, I do like per video better).

Michael Aichlmayr

I'll support you how ever you decide!

I'm mixed on this personally. My main concern is with predictability - with a monthly charge, I know exactly what my costs are going to be each month, however there's no way to accurately judge that with a per-video thing. It's not a big deal and I'm still happy to support you, but I figure I'd just throw in my two cents there. Whatever works best for you, I'm sure you'll get plenty of support! You've got plenty of valid reasons, and my concern ceases to be an issue if there's some sort of upload schedule.

I fully support this change. I much prefer to have you thinking about your videos than worrying about patreon.

As I said before I'll back you either way!!

For your content, I really enjoyed the per video. Your videos are often longer, more thought out, and a culmination of a lot of work. The "per month" system feels less genuine to your style--it encourages shorter videos to make patrons feel like they're getting their money's worth. I'd personally much rather pay money for a great video and have it encourage you. I also think patreon rewards aren't nearly as important for your work; almost everyone here genuinely loves your work and is supporting you just to support you. All the perks are just perks.

I don’t think anyone will hate you for this. You know how to produce your content best, and we are just here to help you do that.
