Update on Cyn City Council content
🕑 Added 2023-02-01 02:46:02 +0000 UTCHey all! I've been meaning to make this post, but I needed to be sure this was the direction I wanted to go first.
So I've talked a little bit about the fact that I record reaction content differently now. In order to make editing easier, now my recording style for reactions involves a lot of pausing, talking between takes or over the video, and backtracking as needed. While this new style helps a lot with streamlining edited content, it's not the best for trying to piece together full length reactions. My full length reactions are "watch alongs" because legally I can't show the original content and make money off of it- some people have told me this is what other Patreon reactors do, and that's great if it works for them, but it is illegal and I'm not comfortable with that route. So my old reactions were no video/sound, just my reactions and I added a timestamp so people can follow along. That old method doesn't work with the constant pausing and talking I do now.
Thus, I will not be producing full length videos for TV shows like I did with "The Boys". Not only does it not fit my new recording style, but those videos are a little redundant. They take up a lot of time and space, and edited videos still have all the important commentary/reactions it's just basically the highlight reel.
I still want to do full length reactions for movies though! But I will need to figure out how I want to record those and I currently don't have plans to record anything outside TLOU for a bit.
In short, The Council tier right now is for early access to both gaming and reaction content. I'm actually thinking of lowering Council and adding other tiers, but that's a conversation for later once I figure out how movie reactions are going to go. I've specified on the tier page that Council just includes full length MOVIE reactions right now, but I realized I also needed to make a post.

Thanks for the heads up. Do what's right for you. I'm sure what you put out will be just as entertaining and fun to follow.. If anything I'm just happy to be talking to the real Cyn.😅

Thank you for letting us know and that’s completely understandable. I’m in the same boat as Chance in that I just picked this tier to support you. You do a lot for your gaming videos and your streaming which is worth being in this tier for as well. A thought if you’re looking for ideas is maybe a watch party on occasion with people on this tier with things you don’t necessarily want to do edited reactions to or something if that nature. That eases you needing to worry about the watch alongs and gives a perk for this tier or a new one if you want.
That's very kind of you! I really appreciate the support! I have no idea how yearly memberships work. I'm more comfortable with monthly anyway. I don't make content full time and sometimes I'd need to disappear for a few weeks. Doesn't feel fair to charge people for a year when I know content won't always be consistent 😅

I honestly didn't know what this tier came with. I just chose the highest one to support you. Hoping you can offer yearly memberships.
