The monument might be a fine solution, as it is a separate thing in your city, and a sort of appreciation to your supporter, but it is confined to that one thing in that one spot. The place a figure in your site thing is also, as others have mentioned, open to some people getting very odd and distracting figures placed in your city. This means you needing to put in time and work into something potentially only one person will get to see. When it comes to the levels, I also don't like the way that it enables viewers to 'sway' your choice of reviews, maybe get a review just for themselves altogether without it going on YouTube. So even though I am in the minority here, I would urge you to find an alternative solution to this.

I would love to support you somehow, for doing the great job that you do, but know that I cannot in good conscience support Patreon and never will, as they are against the fundamental right of free speech and have shown time and time again that they are very politically biased. That the recent YouTube changes have hit you this hard is very unfair, but alas, that is the world we live in I suppose. Long time viewer here, always appreciated what you do and your honesty and integrity. I'm off to sign up for Patreon in preparation :) Reply Delete Good luck with it Jang, I really hope it works out for you. silver, gold and tan make sense for the premium level but for some reason I'd be more tempted to be a 'medium azure' supported than boring old azure, and I'd find a trans-neon-orange hard to resist moreso than copper (but maybe it's just me that really enjoys when you tell us the specific colour of bricks!) One little suggestion, is that the colours for the lower tiers could be more fun.

What would make me pay little more (and I think Patreon supports this) is if I could support specific kinds of videos, so for me, I'd pay more per city update or MOC video as those are my favourite videos of yours.Īny kind of Patreon only videos would also be very tempting (but not early access), as it is I watch everything you upload, it would be tough knowing there was even more I could be getting for just a few euro more. I would absolutely sign up for your Patreon, most likely at the Gray level as the rewards currently are. JANGBRiCKS is on Patreon (view only preview).Simultaneously, in the past few days I've gotten a ton of new (and sometimes impassioned) suggestions that I set up Patreon, so I've dedicated some serious time into giving it a go. Please have a look at this preview of what I've come up with so far: I finally accept that I need to decouple my ability to financially support my channels from YouTube's ever-shifting willingness to allow just that. The latest batch of YouTube changes utterly decimated residual ad income from nearly a decade of past work. Even through numerous YouTube maladies, I've always resolved to do whatever I can to keep my involvement in this hobby and contributions to this community self-sufficient through normal, reasonable ad placements.ĭays into 2020, everything changed. A lot of what they've argued makes perfect sense, but at the end of the day, there's always been a single point I've returned to: I didn't need the extra support, thus I couldn't bring myself to accept it. All that time, family & friends have tried to reason with me and explain why I should work past this holdup. For years I've gotten a consistent stream of requests for a Patreon page, PayPal 'tip jar,' or other means of directly, tangibly supporting my work, and I've always pushed the idea away.
