Changes to member tiers
🕑 Added 2024-04-18 18:45:50 +0000 UTCI've been receiving your feedback about the issues with the current tier system--as far as I can tell, most of you would prefer to be able to download the embeddings directly from the site, which obviously makes a lot of sense. Not only it'd be quicker and more comfortable for you, but also for me. As the number of members grows, the current system by which I send the files individually poses more "logistic" problems and is also more prone to errors on my side.
However, the current system also offers some advantages that, with a more immediate method, will partly be lost--i.e., the ability for Gold and Silver members to choose several TIs every month among all of the available ones on the site. My idea to somehow compensate for this issue would be as follows:
Silver tier would disappear. It's currently the one with less members (by far), so I think it makes sense. If the current Silver members do not wish to upgrade, they'd still have 3 free TI choices next month as a parting gift.
Gold tier would remain and keep the same monthly price, but Gold members would have direct access to all of the embeddings published under the Jernau's Own collection. These TIs are my own ideas and will basically be one half of all the embeddings published at my site (the other one being the Members Requests embeddings, proposed by Platinum former and current members). During next month only, they would still be able to request 5 free TIs from the Members Requests collection. In general, Gold members would be receiving more TIs every month (I would say an average of about 10-12 instead of the current 7). They wouldn't be able to choose, but I hope that the quality of the collection (I honestly think some of my best embeddings have been published under that particular one) and the higher quantity of monthly rewards would make up for that loss.
Platinum tier would basically remain as is, with Platinum members being able to download all available TIs on the site. On top of that, they'd still be able to request a number of new TIs every month (the number would increase from 2 to 3). Those requests go directly to my priority list, which includes both members requests and my own ideas. I'll try to upload one embedding pertaining to each collection in alternating turns (one day an embedding for the "Jernau's Own" collection, the following day an embedding for the "Members Requests" one and so on).
This is the general plan, but I would like to know if this approach indeed makes sense to you guys. Please feel free to leave your feedback on the comments section or by DM. Of course you can also reach me through Discord, as usual.
