Frequently asked questions & Update! (PLEASE READ)
🕑 Added 2021-10-08 16:57:19 +0000 UTCI don't know how many times I have to say this but here's a dedicated post instead of just a comment response or DM response to the most common questions I have been getting lately.
The lvl 3 tier does not have a schedule, it never did, it never will, it was set up specifically because people wanted videos as soon as they were done instead of waiting for each normal upload. This is all stated in the tier when you sign up. If you choose to sign up to someone's Patreon without reading the tier you signed up for to see what it includes that is on you, please read each tier before submitting payment.
Added to that but with every tier, Patreon re-ups on the 1st of each month. So for example, if you subscribe on say the 30th you will be charged again on the 1st then the 1st each month after that so keep that in mind before you click submit payment or leading up to the 1st. (This is also stated during checkout, you just need to read).
These seem to be the two biggest confusions I see the most. For anyone that somehow missed my updates throughout September I went on vacation at the beginning, came back and got sick and couldn't record for about a week which pushed me behind, then my pc started overheating and crashing mid recordings, then after the initial fix we found out there was another issue. Since then those have been fixed.
Unfortunately I can not just magically get rid of a sickness nor can I magically make a new PC with all my software appear out of thin air as much as I wish I could. Even with all those issues videos went up as they normally do (I think Black Clover was late once by a day or so).
That being said the reasons explained above is why the lvl 3 early tier has usually only been a few days early for the past few weeks. That tier does not have a schedule for a reason. However, you can reasonably expect that things will start to show up a bit earlier than normal now that everything has been resolved. Issues come up and are unavoidable and that is why the lvl2 tier has a set schedule that I do not deviate from. It gives me a cushion and ensures you all get the videos when you expect them.
Now final thing because I already know this will come up, today's One Piece video that went up on lvl2 today instead of tomorrow was NOT planned. It was a miss click on my end. But I that is all it is. I'm not just gunna take the video away after it was posted so y'all just got it a day early. That means there will NOT be another One Piece video for lvl2 tomorrow (that video went up earlier today).
I am recording today though so lvl3 y'all should have a new OP video either tonight or tomorrow depending on when I'm able to edit and how much I record before sitting down to edit.
All I ask is if you have questions don't hesitate to reach out but PLEASE do me a favor and READ the tiers you are signing up for & check uploads before sending a message. I get asked the same 3 questions about 10-20x per day and the time I spend having to respond to everything or for example, sending this out is time I could be spending recording. I make A LOT of content on various different platforms and that stuff all takes up time. I stream 3 days a week, I run my own personal TikTok which has 120,000+ followers, I run the Nani no Anime TikTok which has over 50,000 followers, I run my own personal YT channel, I run the Nani no Anime YT channel & that Patreon as well.
I make content and yes I love One Piece but even if YOU are only here for One Piece there is a ton of people who are here for more than that. My job is not to appease YOU, it's to make my content and if it vibes with y'all dope. If how I handle my stuff doesn't vibe with you, that is totally fine. There is a ton of incredible content creators like BoomSentai, Allonsyyy, JamiUwu, YaBoyRockLee, etc... that you could check out instead. You'll find the creator you vibe with most eventually, but don't expect a content creator to change things for you. There are tens of thousands of people in this community, I will never be able to satisfy everyone. Which is why I don't try to, I know this annoys some people & that's just part of creating content for a living.
Thank you for all the continued support, if you have any further questions please let me know below and I will do my best to answer them today in between recordings.
Also last thing I know that a few episodes of God of High School and AoT are messed up. I am doing my best to get those fixed, I just have to prioritize our new content first, unfortunately Vimeo caused a ton of issues and when I went to update them some got messed up. Getting those GoH and AoT vids fixed is a big process but I will get it taken care of as soon as I'm able.

Nothing has changed, the site probably just glitched out. I have always uploaded 1080p sine I started reactions

Sad you have to address this at all. My apologies for the frustrations caused by others. Thanks for the work you put into making sure we get content we enjoy despite being thrown curveballs irl. It is likely no small amount of stress. Your work is appreciated.

Same here. I think this is like the 7th time I have now watched OP. LOL I have really enjoyed watching it again with Ruff. If you havent already, check out some of the other anime's he does. I have started watching them on my own because of Ruff.

with the new one piece ep i could only get 1080p.... my computer is "super" *in a franky voice* old and has trouble with high quality :( just wondering if all are gonna be 1080p now?

Bro i love one piece and u got me to rewatch one piece for the 4th time like wtf lol.... One thing i gotta say tho even tho u don't really give a crap about sports anime, please consider to react to haikyuu in the future im sure when u get into that shit u will cry like a baby just like when u watch one piece

I would suggest pinning this post or another post with the FAQ, not that people who don't read the terms will read that or this either, but the "check pinned post" reply will be quicker.

Lmao that last OP upload was a misclick? Damn dude, blessing in disguise! Imo I think you should try and give updates on the 3rd instant upload the second its done tier. We all knew there was quite a lot ready to go because you watched ahead during Marineford. We now know there isn't much already recorded and ready to go because you've had issues, so I would suggest letting us know if you ever get more than a few reactions-worth of episodes ahead, so we know when it might be more worth it to bump our tier up for a bit. Anyways, thats just more hassle for you so really I don't mind. Keep doing what you doing and thanks for the contents!

It's like people assume throwing a little money grants Karen levels of entitlement... like fr, is this because I'm in the fanfiction community and I've seen (and been) a fic author trying their best and not managing to juggle life, life crisis, and content for a little while? Cause yeesh... I get that we're paying for access but we're paying pennies in comparison to the time it takes to edit and manage all this stuff.

i was wondering why lvl 3 and 2 got uploads at the same time rather than just not upload the early. totally forgot the episode was a whole day early. I got level 3 just for the support its crazy that people get upset when your only getting it a day or more early like even in this super slow period early was still early.
Billy Joe
Not that I’m aware of, I’ve had people reach out to Patreon about it and they always respond with “reach out to the creator and maybe they’ll refund you”
Billy Joe
Yea, honestly you’re probably right 😅
Billy Joe
Yea it’s such a pain, tbh when I decided to do the early posts I figured that I could just make a post go up earlier for certain tiers (sounds simple enough). But patreon for some reason doesn’t have that option 🙃

Sad thing is, people who don't read tiers' descriptions they are paying for, probably won't read this post either.

I signed up for level 3 even before early uploads were a thing, but regardless I understand that said uploads have no set schedule. One thing that I wish I could do is customize my notifications to filter out the level 2 OP uploads so that they don't confuse me into thinking that it's the level 3 early upload, but I know that's on Patreon and not you. Anyway the proliferation of those who won't read or listen to instructions is a pandemic that plagued this country long before CoVid 19, and will persist long after it becomes a footnote in world history, so feel free to block them if they get to be too much of a nuisance but otherwise don't let them bring you down. You are doing us a huge service by sharing your experiences with us and we are grateful, don't let the haters and Karens tell you otherwise. Looking forward to your next drop.

I'm not even tier 3 and I already knew this just because you've said it so many times.
Mardenzin
And somehow Im still doubting thats the last we will hear about this lvl 3. People should just read things, it would make everything much easier.
I am glad u finally spoke ur mind about this. U have to do what u need to do at ur own pace. U don't owe anyone anything but yourself by getting the content out as u see fit. Like u have said, and I have mentioned it in chat, this is ur channel/stream, no one has a right to tell u how to run it. If those select people can't read its on them. Everything is written on each tier, and Patreon runs their platform a certain way and everyone has to abide by it, or they don't have to subscribe. They can't change the way u do things or the way Patreon does things. If they don't like it they can leave. I am personally impressed by the way u have handled everything, with the stream, the reaction videos, and the podcast, and on top of all that u have a beautiful daughter to raise. U have a lot on ur plate and dealing with it very well as far as I'm concerned but u do tend to stress yourself out sometimes. Please take time to relax, even if its just a half and hour, it will help a lot. Anyway, keep ur head up and keep doing what u do. Us core audience love u very much.

Aren't you able to adjust your tier and get a credit on Patreon? I swear I've done that before with one of the mini modelers I pay for.
Crow
As a tier 3 idk who tf didn’t read the description of the tier just 🤦♂️
Michael Royal
we here for that ONE PIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECE
I have no problems as long as i can watch one piece reactions
Billy Joe
You'd think that but one of the people that got blocked today for throwing a tantrum was like a 3-4 month long sub here. But yea 100% USUALLY it's the new people lol
Ray M Estrada
I want to assume the people having all of the issues are new to Patreon or new to your content, because if they have been following you for a while and still don't get it they are really dumb 😆😆
Daniel Östlund
Ruff is my absolute favourite YouTube reactor and it’s fun to follow the Nani no anime occasionally when I have the time. So keep it going at your pace and let the anime journey continue
Billy Joe
You would assume that would be common sense lol
Lor_D_Richafa
I swear to god. Some people can't read. ALWAYS read something before choosing to pay for a tier. It's NOT difficult
Billy Joe
Glad you've been enjoying the videos!
Billy Joe
Oh for sure, imo it's evident by the sub count compared to other creators who are my size or larger. I just every now and again get the people that don't read and get mad because they expected something else. I just want to make sure there's no confusion. Also try and limit how many DM's I get of people telling me to go fuck myself lol

Take your time ruff,you work hard and we appreciate it.
Goldcrusty
I think most of your patreon likes how you handle your work. Keep going man!
