UPDATE - Wednesday, July 24th 2024
🕑 Added 2024-07-24 15:16:12 +0000 UTCTEEM,
Reactions will begin again on Monday, July 29th 2024
There will be a slight change to how and when we post. Doing all of this MUST become more sustainable for Madison and myself. There have been some Patrons who left as a result of my fatigue and I'm glad they're gone :)) I can't ever make those people happy. Their expectations are unrealistic...
For the ride or die Patrons who are still here with us, you are GOATED!! We love you all and we truly do this for you!
"Creator Burn Out" is a real and terrible thing. The constant pressure to post content all the time is like a 1000 lb weight attached to your body. This type of work requires us to be present physically, cognitively, and emotionally. Regardless of if we're feeling sad, tired, or just having a bad day, we must put a smile on our faces and pump the content out because if we don't, we lose our "supporters"
Addressing some of the previous comments -
"Hire An Editor" / Our Output
We have somebody specifically tasked with creating the Naruto YT edits. Besides having that person do the YT edits, we cannot afford an editor. We simply do not generate enough income to do so.
Some Patrons have complained about our output. Give or take, we post 5 reactions per week on the DB channel and 5 reactions per week on the Naruto channel.
EACH Patreon has had a minimum of 15 uploads per month
Between both channels, we post EVERY SINGLE day of the week on YT!
We've been compared to other reaction channels who post daily on Patreon. These channels have hundreds of thousands of subscribers. We are a small reaction channel. We cannot compete with them and their teams.
The Purpose of Patreon
The purpose of Patreon is to support your favorite creators so that they can continue to create the work that you love & enjoy
In return for your support, we are able to give exclusive benefits to our Patrons.
For our Patreon specifically, some of the benefits include - UNCUT, Early access to our reactions, exclusive content like Patreon Recommendations, Podcasts, and Filler Episode / Movie Reactions
Patreon is ALWAYS optional.
Most of our content eventually goes on to YouTube where it is free to watch
"Upload Schedule"
Our Patreons DO NOT HAVE an official upload schedule
The main promise of our Patreon is to be ahead of it's YT counterparts
The Patreons have ALWAYS stayed ahead of it's YT counterparts
THE FACTS
I WILL take time off from working when I'm fatigued
I MAY burn out again in the future
Regardless of if we have 5 Patrons or 500, we WILL CONTINUE to do these reactions.
Madison and I appreciate our Ride or Die Patrons. I know some of you by your names :) YOU have given us the opportunity to do all of this! I'm eternally grateful for your unconditional love and support. I do not know how to ever repay you...

I’ve been with yal for a while. I’m not bout to dip just cuz you’re human. I love the content yal put out and I’m grateful for it. I hope you guys are doing okay🫶🏽
Terellkid
I’m staying regardless, y’all are cool peeps. In the meantime I’ll do whatever to get y’all’s channel out there. I know it’s nothing but nothing is something😂 and if everyone in here did that it would definitely be something lol

Preciate, you putting your foot down.

I've not messaged too much. But I do remember asking if you'd check out the Japanese original for Gohan going ssj2. You not only did, but you did a bunch of others too. I thought that was really cool of you. Anyway, I basically ignored the whole back and forth lately whenever arguments happened over delays. I understood the frustration sometimes as it's just a negative reaction to having excitement turn to disappointment. So don't be too harsh on them, imagine their just fans who don't express themselves well. Similarly, though, remember there's a lot of quieter people like me who have no issue and get when you need you time. Hell it's been consistent for what a year, years? I do think it was good of you to emphasise what subbing gets you. As if the routine becomes one a day in the week, people come to think that's what they're paying for. Now me, for $2. Would never expect to be entitled to that. If it was a profitable full time job, snd you commited that for a higher price. Sure. But this is a bargain for what you do. So head up man, hope you feel more yourself soon.

I can't wait to see the upcoming episodes, sucks you had to lose people, even if they wasnt the nicest. im sure the income couldve helped with future reactions and building a team, but atleast you dont need to see them anymore
Helder Romero
You got this man! Perfect way to repay is to continue doing what you love, how you love to do it and whenever you want to do it! We here for the long haul man!!! 😎😎🫡
Jonathan Reynolds
If I was paying like $20 a month I might be a little pissed, but for the absolute bargain you offer, I don't see how anyone can complain...
Deledgar
I love watching you guys but I will always give my opinion. Doesn’t make me a parasite like some of you guys here like to comment. See you next week
Maynard Jungling
Remember: Work hard, study well, and eat and sleep plenty! That is the Turtle Hermit way! I love your reactions and will be excited to see more. Ready whenever you are, hope you get the rest you folks deserve!
Kiki JD
Ride or Die member here. I am not going anywhere. Burnout can occur with any job. I sewed baseball hats in a factory for 40 years and got plenty burned out. Things just worsen if you don't take care of your physical and mental burnouts. Stay safe, sane, and in good humor.
Corey Greening
I'm not going anywhere! These reactions have been a great way to rewatch both Naruto and Dragon Ball alike
Julio Diaz
Some people cry for something they already watch ten thousand times already get a life and you guys take your time rest eat good and comeback stronger 💪
TW
keep up the good work, take time off whenever you need it
Shaun Solberg
I'm a kinda guy that just rolls with the punches and I can understand how difficult doing these reactions can be so I can accept if you need time off to recover just hope you guys get well and I'll be here when you get back
LegendarySuperSaiyan
Damn normies? Thats another reaction channels fan base xD
Brandon
Those facts were completely on point. The people that left and would always complain have obviously never done content creation and don’t know how hard it actually is. Trying to record a bunch in a day, then edit them, then schedule them is not an easy thing, on top of people saying “you aren’t doing enough for me.” Baris and Madison, you guys are awesome and we appreciate the time and effort you guys have put in this far. ❤️
MrZambro
Listen homie, you don’t gotta explain to me what’s goin on, I trust you’ll get your content out whenever you can while I just appreciate that I have your content in the first place. You and Madison are my top two reactors so far because your reactions are genuine, which means it’s even more important that y’all are healthy and happy to keep your reactions genuine
Mitun Patel
Do what you gotta do brother. Self care is more important than posting reactions, so you should get yourself right before you continue with it. I’m just here for the genuine reactions for someone completely new to a series. I’m here for it whenever the uploads come.
James Tonton
Take your time and reset that 🪣 the cognitive and the emotion are essential for the physical and vice versa
Shanks
Take all the time you need, my friend. Everyone deserves a break. What good will it be if you can't enjoy a show because of tiredness and fatigue? Rest well.
Devin Decoteau
Take your time.

As someone who created content in the past I understand, I usually make videos on Monday - Sunday and am editing these myself so I know what the burnout can be like. That said I will do what I've always done ill wait for a major part in the anime then I'll subscribe again so this way I don't lose. Am currently out of a job also.
Jose ordaz
Take the time you need to recharge hope u and Maddison are feeling better and can't wait for those upcoming uploads Baris u and Maddison make my day feel better from a long day of hard work getting to see your reactions is a blessing keep it bro from me to u baris I will be subscribe to the channel until u stop okay can't wait to see you guys on Monday take care 💖
SamWD
The only way I'd unsubscribe is if the video's stopped entirely with no update whatsoever which isn't the case here I don't see a problem with a break
The Only MVF
You guys make the long days bearable!! Your reactions are incredible & I always enjoy them 🙏 Mental fatigue is nothing to play with so take all the time you need, the real ones will always understand
Eric
Love you guys, take your time. This and the DB channel were the first patreons I've ever subbed to so you guys are doing something right. If I may make one suggestion to maybe make things easier. I know you prefer to watch the blurays and record yourselves and then splice it together and then plan some questions and edit out the outtakes etc etc. But I'm sure that adds a ton to the editing process that could be saved by using the same device to watch/record and just leaving in the outtakes post episode(some of the best eps were you and Madison just fooling around at the end of the video). This isn't a complaint or anything, just thinking if you cut out like 30 min of editing everyday by streamlining the process it might make it more enjoyable in the long run. Either way you'll never see me complaining on here about a lack of episodes, but I would complain if you quit entirely because you make such good content so really don't want that to happen!
Troinell
The only part that makes me upset is that y'all stopped right at the start of some hype moments. Right before naruto fights pain and tight before the next tournament starts in dragon ball. But I'm a patient person, I can wait. I hope you guys rest well, it's no longer fun when you're mentally and physically drained all the time
JLush408
Get well soon! Lookin’ forward to finishing Shippuden with you guys’ and wherever the Patreon takes us after that!
Gohan
Take all the time you need. If I can offer a small suggestion I would say to record multiple videos on the same day, that way you can still do the regular schedule but you won’t be forced to record everyday.
Alex Ucles
End of the day you're still one of the most consistent reactors and it's cheap. And realistically I'd rather you guys be in good mental health for the best reactions. Us normies will never complain when you take breaks cuz we get it. Only the few neckbeards that left are the only ones who complain. good riddance. They need to get a life and touch grass lol
Jose Andrade
Thank you guys! And yes, definitely take the time that you need.. Patience is key for everything. You guys are awesome! 👏🏻
Techy
If you say you will do something, make sure you follow through. Otherwise don’t make the promises. Looking forward to Madison’s reactions next week.
R.BGames37
Take the time you need guys.. we will be here no matter what.. i love your reactions so yeah take it slow.. and hope you both are well.. LOVE Ray
Michael Shelton
Get your zen on and we will see you when you are ready... I'm just excited because you guys are getting into some hype episodes. Can't wait to see Madison's reaction to them.
Dee
People crashing out over 2-10 a month is crazy lol but I hope y’all get some rest man nothing is more important than your personal health. All positive vibes here 🫡
Victor Large
I can see being burnt out and taking time for both of you, here till the end, see u both Monday
Geo uchiha
