✨ALL NEW TIERS ✨ (Patreon)
Content
Hello everyone! 💙
For the past month I've been working on updating my Patreon. Being productive when you're sick is something I don't like, but it was actually fun! I haven't changed much here since I first created this account in June 2018. I invest a lot of time into it and I want my tiers to reflect this! I have really grown to like this platform, sometimes even more than posting videos publically on YouTube because it feels more personal and like a safer environment for me to be vulnerable and relaxed.
I have decided to increase the cost of all my tiers to better fit with the amount of work I spend on it, because I literally need to in order to pay my bills and also to better fit with the general aesthetic and theme of this Moon worshipping sanctuary. Bless the Goddess! (Cookie)
I have struggled with putting a value on my work and I'm still figuring out how to do that while staying true to myself, my viewers and how I spend my "working time". It's a difficult lesson to learn as an independant creator but an important one. Since I've had my Patreon for about 1½ years now and a lot has happened during my almost 3 years on YouTube, I need to grow and evolve.
I know some may be discouraged and upset by the fact that I'm hiding more content behind a paywall but that is because I feel more comfortable creating content in this more personalized manner... and because I need to pay my bills. Reading comments on YouTube is something I get very affected by, and while I usually only get positive ones (yay!), the ones who are not do affect me negatively (which I'm working on).
If I want to continue creating in the manner that I do now I want to do so freely for my patrons who I know support me and my content. You are the people I want to listen to and take feedback from as I grow and expand my channel and my content.
I have thought of this for a long time and with "situations" that has occurred on twitter (recently and in the past) I want to limit my social media. I much more prefer to spend my time and energy interacting here on Patreon and in my Discord group. I am really proud of the community I have built. It's a safe space for all of us with compassion, respect and humour being the pillars. Maybe Cookie should be the fourth pillar - three pillars sounds dangerous, structurally.
I know that my motives for doing all of this is something I don't need to explain but I know how greedy YouTubers can seem and I want to be as transparent as possible. I honestly just want to be able to eat well, pay my bills and maybe travel to go see a k-pop concert every now and then (and record it of course!). Then I'll be happy. Cookie, too.
Lately I've enjoyed making videos so much, which I know many of you have noticed and responded to as well. I always appreciate your feedback, whether it is positive or something you'd like me to change, do differently or even apologize for saying. Sometimes I can say careless things which is usually fun and sometimes not. Which is bound to happen, since I am human and make mistakes, the point is that we learn from these mistakes.
To all of you who are a patron of mine, whether it's since I started my Patreon or if you joined just a few days ago - thank you so much for sticking around and supporting me. It means more than I can describe with words and truly helps me out so much, since this is now my main income. I'm so humbled by it and I want to return the favor by making the best kind of content I can. I am thinking daily about how to improve my videos in various ways and I appreciate your patience with me. I'm learning as I go along, while saving up for better and more equipment and trying not to stress out about that. I'm still enjoying my process so much (stroopwaffels!).
I've really found myself through making videos and learning how to be comfortable with uploading them for thousands to see, which I was quite nervous about in the beginning. But it has actually been such a blessing, learning who I am and who I want to be, just by uploading reaction videos on YouTube... and doing a lot of soul searching when I'm not making videos, of course!
Now, enough rambling. Thank you so much, again. I hope you stick around, whether it's here on Patreon or YouTube - I'm happy to have you either way. Have a great weekend and lots of positive thoughts for 2020! It'll be a great year, I just know it! Below you can see the tiers, do let me know what you think! They're for you guys, after all.
Love you all! 💙
≪Crescent Moon Patron≫ $2
This is the new tier for those who want to gain access to live stage reactions, first listens, full album reactions and an archive of my past livestreams.
I have always felt a little awkward (for lack of a better word) doing first listen videos publically on YouTube, so the reason I am now making them only on Patreon is because I feel so much more at ease recording Patreon-exclusive videos in general. And because I want to improve on making them! The concept of doing full album listens sounds fun as well, because even if I have heard the songs before I could watch color coded lyric videos as I listen to know who sings what!

≪Half Moon Patron≫ $6
This is the new tier for those who want to watch longer videos with me, (while getting all the benefits from the previous tier, of course) such as variety and survival shows, k-dramas, v-lives, anime, etc. These videos take longer to record, edit and upload and that's why it will be in a higher tier. It will also motivate me to record more of them, since it wasn't that profitable before for a struggling creator as myself, which is something I need to consider. I hope you understand.

≪Full Moon Patron≫ $12
This is the new tier for those who want to gain access to everything on my Patreon, as well as the privilege to request one video (or song works, too) for me to react to every month.
Same as before, but due to high demand the time limit is now 6 minutes or less and only one video can be chosen per month - if you want to pick more than one video, or a longer one, that is what the higher tiers will be for.
