IMPORTANT UPDATE (Discord + Tiers) (Patreon)

(TL:DR video above! same info)

(if you watch the video version instead - please note I totally forgot to STRESS that I will no longer be doing requests!)

Hey everyone! 

As we crest the second year of my youtube channel… wow it’s been so long already! 

I just wanted to take an extra moment to thank all of you who have been supporting me from the very beginning, those of you that have been supporting me from the moment I launched my patreon page, and all of those that joined along the way. I really appreciate all of you so much. Those of you who can and do support me on Patreon are literally the reason that I can keep doing this channel. I’ve almost quit so many times this year alone because it’s been really hard. But all of you watching my videos and supporting me however I can gives me so much drive to keep going. I love music and I really love sharing that love with all of you.

Speaking of that, it’s a big reason why I created my Discord in the first place. However, I actually really suffer from social anxiety and with the pandemic you’d think that it would have gotten better but it actually got worse and I’ve just had to take a break from as much social media as possible and I feel terrible that I haven’t been in our discord in almost a year. So, I know this will probably disappoint some people but I’m actually going to shut it down because I’m just not mentally okay to continue with it. I’m really sorry guys, I loved talking to you all in there.  

Anyways- with that out of the way, I’ve been really unsatisfied with the way my Patreon page has been going lately, I used to be really on schedule with a video posted every tuesday and thursday and I’ve gotten so far away from that. Right now, 95% of the content I post on Patreon is for one single tier and that’s been frustrating me a bit because I definitely want to provide more content as thanks across the different tiers. So it was supposed to be as of May 1st but I ended up taking an unintended break... so let's say as of this week instead - the tiers will be changing slightly. A lot of the changes are small so I won't type them out here and I'll post another update when they've been officially changed. But to get a summary: (changes won't affect retroactively or kingdom legendary war) 

tier 1 - mostly the same, going to start exclusively doing listening parties here either early access or entirely on patreon if they're blocked on youtube + more variety show episodes

tier 2 - shorter series <30 minutes (idol shows, series, etc episodes)

tier 3 - longer series >30 minutes , no more requests!

tier 4 - special shout out in all videos and maybe a movie night, still deciding!  

And I'm also thinking about designing some merch with my own art! Let me know if you all have any ideas that would be cool! Patrons would be getting a discount whenever that comes out.
