Patreon Only Nation

I just need a name for this country besides Rock Society

• Anime

• Kdrama

• Western live-action

• Movies

• Miscellaneous

We hardly intentionally cover Patreon-only shows because there are so many reaction categories to choose from. Someone’s genre always has a show that’s great to post both on Patreon and YouTube.

There was a time when my editors didn’t consistently edit everything I covered, so I was open to having some dramas or animes stay on Patreon. Now, with four editors, they can cover everything I record.

So, if I can hit two birds with one stone, I do that. I make exceptions for shows I’m really interested in, like “Snowfall,” “Three-Body Problem,” and “Interspecies Reviewers.”

There are key differences between:

1. Posting a show you’re naturally interested in that doesn’t do well on YouTube, so it becomes Patreon-only by chance.

2. Having no natural interest in a show and knowing it can’t go on YouTube.

3. Knowing from the start that a show can’t go on YouTube.

When we properly select a show that performs well on YouTube, three things happen:

1. The YouTube channel gains subscribers.

2. The video’s ad revenue covers more of its editing costs.

3. People discover the content and join Patreon.

The reaction community is like a country:

1. YouTubers can be compared to “non-working youth or retired adults,” very important for the future.

2. Patreons can be compared to “working adults,” who, for various reasons, age out of work at some point.

To maintain a healthy replacement rate, similar to a country’s birth rate, we need a steady influx from YouTube. Patreon-only videos don’t contribute to this rate because YouTubers aren’t aware of them, despite my efforts to promote them.

Thus, I aim to create videos that satisfy both Patreon supporters and YouTube viewers. Think of it as a government investing in both its youth and working population for a sustainable future.

By boosting growth on YouTube (having more kids), we end up with more working adults to tax later, and some opportunities may encourage retired adults to re-enter the workforce (join Patreon). But they won’t join unless they know the video is out, hence needing to gain traction on YouTube.
