Rethinking the AMA Stream Schedule
🕑 Added 2021-09-12 22:18:56 +0000 UTCHi all!
We've been discussing for a while that the AMA streams have gotten a bit hard to manage—each session has 130+ questions, I have to break each "monthly" stream into two parts, each part lasts more than 4 hours—it's been stressing me out and contributing to my falling behind the monthly schedule.
I've considered either replacing the AMA streams with a different reward, or changing the question format to live chat, but since this is one of the more popular Patreon perks I'd rather just try to make it work.
My current idea (which a few of you have helpfully suggested) is to stop labeling the streams after months, and instead do shorter (2-3 hour) streams at more regular intervals. I'll make a new question invite post whenever I finish the questions on the previous one.
So the schedule will be improvised and informal, which, let's be honest, it already is lol. I guess it's not really much of a change, I'm just making it psychologically easier on myself somehow? Maybe this didn't even need to be an update lol.
Anyway, I'm going to do the next AMA stream tonight at 8pm ET, will post the question invite for 15+ patrons in a moment!
All my love, Natalie

I suggest that you have an ongoing list of questions and do a fixed number per stream. If you feel that this could be misleading as a reward (in case you never get to that person's question or it takes a long time), you could also make public how long the list currently is.
I personally prefer just random long q and a sessions over scheduled ones
