Schedule Annoucement!
Added 2025-02-04 05:18:44 +0000 UTCHey Everyone! We hope you’re having a great week! After much discussion, we’ve decided to make some changes to our upload schedule. Unfortunately, among our ongoing copyright issues, Sam’s job has become increasingly more demanding and it’s made it harder for us to balance family time and the YouTube channel, so we’ve decided to adjust.
We’re going to move to one show (could be 2 episodes like BCS) and one movie upload per week. This will start immediately on YouTube. Beginning in March, that will also be the minimum upload schedule on Patreon. We say minimum because as time allows, we will continue to film more, and those full length reactions will be uploaded to Patreon as soon as they’re ready, essentially creating content that may be exclusive to Patreon for some time until it can be edited for YouTube.
There will now be two polls per month to scale to our new schedule and the Schmitthead Drawing will remain the same.
We hope that makes sense! We’re so happy with the community we have here and on YouTube and can’t thank you enough for your support over the last five years! We hope these changes will make for more quality and consistent content (and help us avoid burnout)!
Much love ❤️
Daniel & Sam

For TBR & Sam keeping their full time jobs, raising a baby girl and being so truthful to the channel is commanding! Hopefully we can bring more family and friends to subscribe and sponsor their channel. This channel has brought so much entertainment and joy during these crazy times we are living. Covid, elections, disasters etc. keep doing your great job Schmitt’s! You are appreciated and loved!

2025-02-07 00:34:14 +0000 UTCThat’s a pretty good point. A series is very intensive, both for commitment and scope of audience. I’ve always had a hard time adopting a series, even on my own time. And the only two I’ve followed here is The Sopranos and True Detective. The people who don’t like a particular series are left out of a large chunk, whereas any given movie selection will affect a smaller percentage. But that’s not to say that I’m representative. I’m sure you’ll follow your viewership data.

2025-02-06 13:58:21 +0000 UTCIf cutting back helps keep the channel going, then absolutely do what you need to! I’ll miss the extra reactions, but I'd much rather have less than risk you disappearing altogether! A quick thought about your schedule going forward: after you finish Better Call Saul, it might be an idea to go back to two films a week instead of keeping a TV show. Some of my favourite reactions here have been TV (Sopranos, Cobra Kai), but if the schedule has to shrink, I think films work better. With two films a week, there’s a good chance every Patron enjoys at least one reaction. But with one film and two TV episodes, anyone not into the current show is missing most of the content for months. If someone isn’t into Better Call Saul now, and then The Wire follows and they don’t love that either, they could be left out for years. That’s why I think films might be the better option if reactions stay limited. Either way, I appreciate all the effort you've put into this channel over the past few years, and I'll be here no matter what. This channel and this community are literally my favourite things on the internet!

2025-02-05 21:53:23 +0000 UTCIs there a way to have the Patreon full videos but also not blur out the movie?

2025-02-05 19:53:41 +0000 UTCAs been said is that family is the most important thing in life. We appreciate that youre open and honest with us as to the changes so there isnt any hard feelings. Although I dont think your patrons would feel any. Be well.

TBR Schmitt
2025-02-04 23:55:13 +0000 UTCI know UGH! A lot of channels have been dealing with it on the back end, and many of them have been getting hit after a video goes public so it might not be as noticeable, but we have connected with a ton of other channels, so we know we're not alone thankfully! We would love to do some collabs if time allows! Cinebinge and PIB have been incredible channels to connect with! We haven't had the opportunity to chat with The Media Knights yet though! -Sam

TBR Schmitt
2025-02-04 23:52:22 +0000 UTCI understand the needs you have as a busy household, and I shall remain here for enjoyment and support. Personally, the content presented easier and more quickly on Patreon is more important and meaningful than YouTube edits, which are so time consuming to produce. If on occasion you’re able to post surprise unscheduled viewings, that would be great, but I’m here regardless.

2025-02-04 19:25:34 +0000 UTCAs I always say your well being comes first always put family above all else . You're both incredible and although I don't comment a lot I'm still here supporting you guys almost 4 yrs time sure does fly eh 🙂 cutting down to help avoid burnout is definitely a smart move , cheers for updating us guys 👍
Ian
2025-02-04 18:21:11 +0000 UTCThank you for the update. No worries. Do what you need to. I appreciate all that you do and the reactions. I'll just have to take up reading, or painting by numbers till your reactions come. 😆 Love you guys! Stay safe and healthy! ❤️

2025-02-04 14:18:49 +0000 UTCNo worries! Family comes first. Can't wait for the All the President's Men reaction.
Brad P
2025-02-04 14:12:18 +0000 UTCWait a minute. You're supposed to be loaded from YouTube monies. But you're out here putting Samantha to work? 🤨 Way to keep your pimp hand strong, TBR... if that's your real name. 🧐 🤭😁 Just kidding obviously. I hope you guys are doing a Rom Com or something for Valentine's Day.

2025-02-04 11:52:15 +0000 UTCNo worries guys. Family and health come first. I've seen other creators hang it up because the amount of work involved burned them out. It's a full time gig for channels like Blind Wave, Normies, and (I think) Cinabinge, so cranking out content every other day is necessary for them
Smooticus
2025-02-04 11:32:09 +0000 UTCThis is the longest time I’ve subbed for a reaction channel and I’m not going anywhere. Do what you have to do, guys!
PIG
2025-02-04 11:14:49 +0000 UTCI don’t know why copyright ends up being such a problem for the two of you. I watch a lot of react channels and they don’t get hit like this as much as you two do. Have y’all ever thought of doing more collaborations with other channels so at least your reactions can get notice without you getting striked? Maybe Cinebinge, PiB, or TheMediaKnights? I know you would prefer to keep the content you make for your own channel but at least this would continue to give you and Sam some exposure and keep your channels going.
Robert Durant
2025-02-04 10:47:49 +0000 UTCFamily should always come first. Y'all have been most outstanding with these reactions. Our lives change whether we like it or not and must adapt. I've personally been enjoying going through y'alls previous reactions and will continue to look forward to the future. Take great care. 😊🤙🏻

2025-02-04 10:20:09 +0000 UTCNo complaints here! Family comes first and your Patreon pricing has always been very reasonable.
Eric Denney
2025-02-04 06:26:35 +0000 UTCI can't imagine doing all you do for us with 2 full time jobs and a toddler at home. I'm grateful for any time you spare for us and sharing your wonderful insights on great movies. I always go back and rewatch favorites. I was considering rewatching S6 Sopranos with you. Was gojng through some rough personal stuff at the time and didn't get to enjoy the reactions like I'd wanted.

TBR Schmitt
2025-02-04 05:59:20 +0000 UTCThank you so much! We don't have the backlog now, but we'll likely get much more ahead of filming than what we're releasing on YT and whatever is filmed and ready will always be uploaded to Patreon as soon as it's ready! -Sam

2025-02-04 05:59:04 +0000 UTCIt’s all good..you guys stay safe and we will still be here.Gotta take care of yourselves first ✌🏾

Juice
2025-02-04 05:47:44 +0000 UTCDid I read this wrong, did you say you could have a backlog of reactions recorded and release them randomly on patreon or no?
Juice
2025-02-04 05:46:37 +0000 UTCEvery once in a while I'll contemplate what a massive undertaking this whole thing is and I can't believe you've managed it as long as you have at such a pace. Happy to adjust to whatever schedule keeps you both from losing your minds. ♥️
