A Change
🕑 Added 2025-05-02 15:03:45 +0000 UTCHi guys! After getting a pretty negative response to my video this month, and having it fall vastly short of the view count we typically reach on the channel, it's made me realize that the pace with which we're making videos to meet sponsorship deadlines is no longer sustainable. I want to go back to creating quality work that I feel good about. So I've decided to completely restructure how this channel generates revenue. I know the Patreon has been wildly insufficient for some time now, and I want that to change. So I'm going to start making videos exclusively for the Patreon for the next couple months, and hopefully settle into a rhythm where you guys are getting the best bang for your buck. I want to be more engaged with you all and hear from you about what you would like to see covered on the channel!
NOTE: This may also come with a change to membership structures - I am thinking of merging all memberships to one $5 USD/month tier, and a $10 tier for those mentioned by name in the YT videos!
For the next video, which ideally will be Patreon exclusive and released in mid-June, we were toying with a few ideas:
Mickey Madison and The Intimacy Coordinator Debate: (would be a historical overview of intimacy coordinators, why they're necessary, but also a discussion around the public's rather paternalistic approach to female actors who opt not to work with them)
A video about Alex Garland's recent film Warfare, as it pertains to depictions of war in cinema
maybe a retrospective on Everything Everywhere All At Once? (I have some complicated feelings about the movie as it relates to the attention economy)
Let me know if any of these intrigue you, and/or if there's anything else you're interested in at the moment!
Excited for this new chapter :)

Hi! Just joined on the £2 tier, so I hope it continues to exist! I'm not interested in shoutouts or special access, but I just went on a massive Patreon bonanza and joined like half a dozen creators' Patreons in an attempt to Help YouTube Eat, and a low 'no special stuff just gimme a couple of bucks' tier is what allowed me to spread the love, so I hope what I saw on joining WAS the new membership structure and that low tier isn't going away!

I honestly have no idea what the negative response was about or which video, but I've been following you for a while now and I'm glad to be here. Thanks for thinking so deeply about pop culture. I feel like less of a weirdo. Now I just need to find someone like you who deep dives into alien romance novels...
