Patron credits announcement (Patreon)

Hi all! This is Elisa, Lindsay's assistant. I'm the one who moderates all the YouTube comments, screens all her emails and the DMs you send her, and also the one who does the Patreon credits that appear at the end of her videos, amongst many other things.

If you want your name to appear in the credits at the end of Lindsay's videos and you are pledging $10, make sure you are pledged specifically to the #passion tier. Going forward, no one pledging exactly $10 who's not pledged to the #passion tier will be included in the credits. This will give people the opportunity to support Lindsay without their names being included if that is what they wish. Everyone who is pledging MORE than $10 will still be included in the credits, even though you are not technically in the #passion tier. If you wish to pledge MORE than $10 and NOT have your name included in the credits, the only thing you can do is alter your display name on Patreon to a pseudonym, and that will be included instead. Unfortunately, due to the way Patreon's spreadsheets work, this is the only way I can go about this matter, given the sheer quantity of Lindsay's patrons. 

Speaking of which, thank you all SO much for supporting our team! Your money doesn't just go to Lindsay, it pays the full-time salaries of 5 people AS WELL AS full health care insurance for all of us AND our families. My two little children have health insurance thanks to you all. It's a big job and a lot of work managing a YouTube account the size of Lindsay's, especially considering the controversial topics we address, and having her cover my whole family's health insurance makes me able to commit my time and energy to keeping her comments section free of harassment and bigotry without having to get a "real" job on the side just for the sake of insurance because the American healthcare system is truly evil. 

So again, thank you for all of your support and generosity. Lindsay's inbox here has been absolutely flooded with messages, along with her email over the last few days, and as I'm the one who screens all those messages for her, I know exactly how amazing you all are. Please check your patron status/tier/name to make sure you're where you want to be wrt the credits, and have a great day!

Elisa

PS. Some of you like to choose amusing "names" (sometimes full sentences) for your Patreon display name so that they appear that way in the credits for all to see. Just know that the longer your display "name" is, the smaller I have to make the font, and the less likely anyone will be able to read it. The shorter you keep your name, the better it will be seen in the credits.
