Huge Patreon Overhaul. Details Below.
🕑 Added 2024-11-02 01:08:48 +0000 UTCHey, everyone. It's been awhile. I want to give a huge thank you to those who have supported me throughout the years. Giving me just enough financial stability to pursue music content more and more has helped me in more ways than you can ever imagine.
With all of these opportunities and gigs over the years, my workload has gone up significantly, leading to amazing moments, but also regular periods of burnout. I found that managing multiple different aspects of this career became increasingly difficult, which leads to this Patreon page.
As you have noticed, it is quite difficult to stay up to date on rewards, alongside YouTube content, commissions, streams, communications, etc. I found myself feeling bad, not because of the workload, but because I couldn't give you all what you deserved. I know you all do this out of the good of your heart, but I feel truly indebted to all of you for allowing me to even HAVE this workload.
As a result, the Patreon is likely to change in a big way soon.
- So here's the idea: Instead of multiple tiers for different rewards, I will probably be moving every single reward to ONE tier. $1 a month (instead of a charge per video, everyone will be charged at the end of the month).
- That means that free song downloads, backing tracks, tabs, plans, etc would be available for everyone. But since it's a low monthly cost, I can deliver these at any point of the month whenever I'm able to. Some months you may get a song, some months you may get multiple songs and other rewards. Either way, it makes the $1 justified. I'm currently checking to see if there's a mass "refund" option as well. If so, I do not mind refunding everyone in the event that a month has NO content!
- Along with this, anyone who is a Patron now (or anyone on my YouTube Patron list) will still likely be credited in YouTube videos as "Legacy Patrons". This may be subject to change, but I'd very much like to do this.
- The dropbox will likely stay available to Patrons currently signed up to it. It may not have updates in the future, but at least you'll have it there for a time. Adding and removing people manually from it it a bit of a challenge. If anyone knows an automatic way for that process, please let me know.
That's pretty much it. If you like or dislike the idea, please reply and tell me why! Your opinion is the most important when it comes to this matter. As I said, I'm not completely sure if I'll do it yet, but I feel it's the best way for both of us to benefit from this page in the future!
Have a great day!
- Shady

Agreed!
Mr. Kitty
I can't speak for the others but I don't need a refund if you don't upload something that month. I understand that burnout sucks, especially when you also get busy trying to keep everything else going.
