Patreon Tiers Update Announcement!
🕑 Added 2022-04-13 20:21:33 +0000 UTCHello Brains & Hearts!
We have a big update for you, but first we want to say THANK YOU to everyone. Your support is why we are able to not only continue what we've been doing, but it has allowed us to grow and try new things. Like writing a book!
We are raising two of our rates for the first time, but if you're already a Patreon you won't have to worry about that β it's detailed further below. But because of this we are also adding new perks, because we really want to show Patreon some love because your support really means a lot to each of us.
What are some of these updates? Glad you asked!
- A monthly newsletter detailing what we've been able to accomplish thanks to your support.
- A dedicated Minecraft server!
- Behind the Scenes content!
- Vote between 2 episodes/shorts and tell us which one you'd like to see released first!
Tip Jar will be updating it's name to "Brain Buds" since you receive Discord access as minimum! The minimum amount is also changing from $1 to $2, as fees eat up a lot of that $1. However, if you're already part of Tip jar don't worry! You'll be grandfathered in, and will be able to keep you at $1 until you cancel or upgrade to a different tier. π§‘`
Brain Board is changing in multiple ways, as well, and we want to detail out what that will look like so that everyone is on the same page and not taken by surprise.
First, weβve decided to increase Brain Board from $25 to $50. IF YOU'RE CURRENTLY A BRAIN BOARD MEMBER, don't worry! We're going to grandfather you in, and as a thank you (and just being fair in general) you will continue to have Brain Board access for $25 until you decide to cancel.
We're also adding 25 additional slots to Brain Board, giving us a grand total of 150 Brain Boardees (this includes grandfathered members)!
In place of Brain Board, we will be adding in Wonderbrains as the new $25 tier.
This will be taking place around May 1st, so that the new perks have a fresh month to start in!
We're excited for these new perks and we hope you are too!
Comment below with which perk you're most excited for!
(Please also leave any questions or concerns in the comments as well, I [Harley] will be spending my day in the comments to help answer questions & concerns. π»π§‘)

A second announcement will get posted soon detailing out all the new perks and where they land. We're just figuring out a couple loose ends before we post because we want to avoid giving y'all information that ends up changing one or more times later. 𧑠As for the opening of additional slots, it will happen around May 1st so long as we stay on track (and we're on track so far!). A more exact time will be provided in the upcoming second announcement. π - Harley

When will the additional spots for the Brain Board open up? Also what will the perks of the Wonder Brain level be?
Tanja
I'm super excited about the idea of behind-the-scenes content. That's pretty much the entire reason I subscribed to the SciShow patreon at the level I did. I'm not sure I can increase the tier level I'm at here though, so I'm just kind of crossing my fingers that it'll be available at my current tier. (And I hear you that you'll confirm more once you're sure - that's all good. I'll just keep my fingers crossed till that announcement ;-) )

The price of BtB is staying the same, the only difference is going to be a new perk being added, which will be explained in better detail in a couple of weeks once we have a couple moving pieces more solidly put into place <3 - Harley
Megan Lovett
You didn't mention the "Behind the Brains" tier. Is it safe to assume nothing is changing for us?
How to ADHD
We will further detail things out in a second announcement later this month. We still have a couple pieces of the puzzle that aren't fully formed yet so we're being careful in how much we share juuuuust in case there are changes or shifts that need to happen prior to the 2nd announcement. 𧑠I can at least guarantee that the Minecraft Server will be definitely cheaper than Brain Board, at the very least! π - Harley
What level will the server be for? Brain Board?
Thank you very much!ππΎ

I'll be posting a second update closer to May 1st complete with a rough time estimate of when the slots will be opening up. The extra slots will be $50. Let me know if you have any other questions! :) - Harley
Wendy
Ooh how do we get in on the brain board if we are not that level yet and will the extra slots be at the $25 or $50 level
How to ADHD
Yes! A second announcement will get posted here to Patreon that will explain things in even further detail (such as which perks go to which tier) and with a rough time estimate as to when the new Brain Board slots open up so that y'all have a solid and fair chance of getting in. Hope that helps! - Harley

Money is hard, we do know that, which is why we're grandfathering members in so that their original agreed upon price doesn't go up unless you cancel or change tiers. Unfortunately expenses still exist on our end, there is no way around that though we wish there was. But that's why we also wanted to make sure that if we did increase prices that at least we could include some new perks as well. This is also why if you're already a Brain Board OR Tip Jar patreon the price change does NOT affect you unless you cancel or change tier. Because we want to be fair and honour the initial agreement that everyone signed up with. We may need to up a couple of our prices, but we still want to give you all breaks where we feasibly can. I hope this makes sense, if you have any further questions please let me know and I'll do my best to answer them. <3 - Harley
How to ADHD
That makes sense! Hoping to drop another update in a couple weeks that detail it out further. <3 Just wanted to avoid speaking too soon as some pieces of the puzzle that are still being worked out. Because obviously before a big change we do want to detail out what exactly the changes are. π So look out for that announcement later in the month! - Harley
Kira Lesser
Will we be notified just before the changes go live? I might want to join the brain board with spots opening up, but donβt want to miss them!
Tony Hunt
YAY! I got grandfathered in on Superbrains, but would like to make sure and get in on the Brain Board ;)
Lexmechanic
Right now I'm more concerned whether the new set of tiers + perks will be fun/useful than anything else. Until we get the whole new concept, it'll be difficult to know :)
How to ADHD
If you have any questions feel free to post them and I'll answer to the best of my ability! π - Harley
How to ADHD
It just seemed like the right and fair thing to do <3 I can't wait for the new MC server too!! Hoppy Easter! ππ° - Harley
How to ADHD
We'll release a second more detailed announcement in a couple weeks. We are still trying to nail down some aspects of the update so don't want to make promises of which goes where until we are certain. 𧑠As for behind the scenes, there will be bloopers and deleted scenes as they are available (as some times the bloopers actually get used in the episodes), at the very least! - Harley
Galli0
Ooh yay for being grandfathered in, that's very kind π and yay for new Minecraft serverππ happy Easter to everyone π₯π£π°
Phylicia
It feels like there are missing details...? What perks go with what tiers? What kind of behind the scenes stuff?
Lexmechanic
I regret to say that I don't have enough information to be excited.
