Video Vote Replacement?
🕑 Added 2019-11-10 00:25:18 +0000 UTCHelllllo Rivans.
Normally this post would be a choice of three games on which I could do First Impressions videos, but as the normal schedule is currently paused due to my move I thought I'd take the chance to ask a question; creator to patrons.
Do you think I should replace or even remove the Video Vote reward tier?
I like the vote because I can give you guys more of a say in actual videos I make. It also serves as a bridge between the $1 and $5 tiers. What I've noticed, however, is that no one is specifically on this tier, and that maybe three or four people vote each month.
Maybe this is because the Top 5s vanished from the vote some time ago (a series I plan to renew in the near future), maybe the games I'm picking for the vote just aren't interesting enough. I'd like to know a bit more.
Please give me your thoughts on a few things such as:
Do you think the Video Votes should continue?
If not, what sort of thing would you suggest as a replacement for $3?
If you're a $1 patron, what could I offer at $3 that might tempt you into upgrading?
If you're a $3+ patron who doesn't utilise the Video Vote, is there a specific reason for that? What is it?
I hope by asking these questions I can get a better understanding of what you guys are looking for and how I can provide it.
Thanks for your feedback and your ongoing support.

I think that's a good solution. Thanks for the response!

Thank you for giving me your thoughts. The issue of the vote lasting a month before the winner gets made IS an awkward one. I've previously considered announcing the winner in a post, but never felt it was worth a post to itself. What about if I announced the winner in the poll for the next month? As for samey feeling games, I keep a long list of potential 1st Impressions games and always try to pick games of different genres and premises for the votes. I'm sorry to hear that didn't come across well.

I like the idea of Video Votes, but I think the fact that the videos are usually made several weeks after the vote is held (which I realize can't really be helped) makes it feel a bit disconnected. One thing that I think would help with this is having a Voting Results post that simply explains which video won and with how many votes, though the current voting system might make tallying those up a bit odd. Some of the games that are included in these votes also feel a bit samey at times, but that's just my opinion.
