Video's, Tier's
🕑 Added 2021-04-15 05:46:32 +0000 UTCI've had a rough couple months for reasons I can't fully encapsulate - 2021 has been a weird, weird, weird, weird year, much weirder than 2020. Can't give any further detail than that because I just don't know what it is about it, but I've just felt so strange the last few months. Not doing BADLY, just... weird.
Consequently I uh, shot four videos and just forgot to edit and post them? Like, I knew I'd recorded them but just had zero motivation to edit and upload, and eventually started thinking I'd already done it. Two were mail calls (just posted one) and two were public videos, though I'm not sure if I'm satisfied with their quality anyway.
What this revealed is that it's really hard to keep up with the shoutouts? Like, I shot these videos in rapid succession, then didnt post them for weeks. Now the shoutouts are invalid - some people cancelled, others joined, etc. Hey, I doubt anyone really even cares about them, it's just a thing I saw someone else do, so I did it too. Can't keep it up though, it just isn't practical. Trouble is, I don't know what to replace them with.
Patreon is so weird. I feel the need to offer tiers, and I feel the need for them to contain some kind of rewards, it's just the Way I Am, but I'm not sure how to design or satisfy them. Still figuring it out. I know it probably doesn't really matter, nobody really cares, everyone just wants to support me, etc. but hey, I have to do something to keep busy. More updates later!

Needless apostrophes. ππ
I know I did mention something when I signed up but I was also high off my ass. Really cool with whatever - don't particularly care about these things.

A couple people, actually, said they do. People like "engaging," feeling like they're interacting directly with someone they're supporting, and I respect that.

Who on earth cares about shout outs?

i just got here but shout outs mean little to me- i joined to help make your video making process easier and more rewarding- not more stressful
I subscribed after your OmniShare video; it's not a big deal at all, but I'll admit it was a little bit of a bummer to not get a shout out. That said, though, I'm not really upset. Despite the weirdness that this year has already thrown at you, you've still been knocking it out of the park with every video you've published. Like others have said, that's what I'm here for and I'm glad to support you.
Honestly donβt let it get in your head. Weβre here because we enjoy the core YouTube content and want to show some support for your efforts. Anything extra on Patreon is a bonus, but not a priority - particularly if itβs distracting from/reducing your enjoyment of what you actually set out to do with your channel. Donβt think of Patron as a beast that must be fed, just some friends who like what you do.
I know what you mean about 2021 dude. Fwiw, as you suspected, I donβt care about the tiers, just wanted to show some support for what youβre doing. Wishing you the best!
Your videos are in-depth and force me to think about technology I used or never got to experience with a new perspective. Updates are nice, but your mental health and all around well-being are a lot more important. Keep to your own pace and keep discovering new old stuff.
