POLL: Hypothetical Change to $7 Membership Level?
🕑 Added 2019-11-20 08:39:06 +0000 UTCAs the previous posts suggested, I am currently giving thought to the idea of restructuring the Patreon experience. That isn't to say that I will definitely be making these changes, but they are considerations. This is all Hypothetical!
I don't like making big changes to the Patreon without knowing how it will affect you, so I've created this poll to determine how YOU would feel IF such a change were made.
The Question:
If the Concept Art & Discussion reward was removed from the $7 membership level, would the Monthly Dropbox Archive alone still feel worth your pledge?
I ask this because:
The Concept Art & Discussion reward is distracting when it is a monthly responsibility.
Every month, I need to come up with an interesting enough idea, which I need to create interesting sketches for, and then I have to write an essay that is easy to read but contains enough interesting information to feel worthwhile & enjoyable. The more I do it, the higher my personal bar of quality gets, and the longer each post needs to be.
It's tiring and takes up a lot of time. The Concept Art posts are then created purely to create them on a routine instead of sharing ideas that I'm working on. It's a bit less natural.
We didn't have a Concept Art & Discussion post last month because I was so busy working on the comic. What if that happens again? Or what if I simply don't feel like creating a post during the month?
Wouldn't it be unfair to promise concept art essays if I can't deliver every single month -- and if your primary reason for pledging $7 is BECAUSE of the concept art essays?
What then?
If your pledge no longer feels worthwhile under those hypothetical circumstances, then it would make more sense to simply remove the $7 membership level and move both of its rewards to the $3 membership level.
This makes it easier to accept when there isn't a concept art update during the month, and it is also overall much more affordable for you.
Again, this is just representative of thoughts I am having. It does not mean that this change will definitely happen, but I want to take your feelings into account as I consider it. Feel free to share any of your thoughts in the comments. It's important that I make the Patreon work for both you and I.
Thank you for your support.
Don't forget to eat and sleep.

Going to assume this isn't quite as big a deal for some of you based on how little votes are being made! The $7 tier has the least amount of patrons in it, so perhaps the majority of them are just inactive.

I made this post under the assumption that ONLY $7 patrons could vote, but I was mistaken. This poll is really designed for patrons who are pledging $7 dollars.
