Would You Use A Patreon Alternative?
Added 2024-04-25 03:04:39 +0000 UTCHey!
We're working on offering a new alternative membership site with extra features and functions compared to our Patreon. These include but aren't limited to;
- Video Uploads (we're unable to really do this here on Patreon as we're capped at 100 hours a year of video upload)
- Exclusive and Discounted Merch Offerings
- Ability to subscribe to individual shows instead of everything
- New UX and UI with lots of fun things like loyalty badges and user profiles
Price would be the same! Just one of the core feedback we've received over the years was, "I wish there was an alternative to Patreon", so we're currently exploring and gearing up to offer that. I wanted to see thoughts and ideas as well as feedback on what you'd want specifically from this new offering -- and, of course, would like to learn about if you'd make the move!
OH: and new Criminally Stupid before the weekend!
EDIT: As a follow up, I think people are interpreting this the wrong way due to not enough details. By alternative, I meant this hypothetical platform would exist alongside Patreon as an alternative to those who don't wish to use Patreon. There would be no need to support both platforms and it's not replacing Patreon (so you could continue to use Patreon if you prefer Patreon). It is simply another option for people to use INSTEAD of Patreon. By "ability to subscribe to individual shows", I meant it would be possible to subscribe to individual shows for a cheaper monthly subscription but the $5 a month for all shows option would still exist there as well. For example, you'd be able to subscribe directly to Criminally Stupid to only receive those episodes early and ad-free for $3 a month if that's the only show you're interested in but those who want all three shows (RT, OP, CS) would still have the same $5 a month option that we currently have.
Thanks,
Jackson

i hope the plan to find a way to release video versions of podcasts in early access comes to fruition sometime soon. Right now i often end up waiting to listen to certain shows and OP episodes that have visual elements until the public version comes out because it feels i'm getting an inferior experience in early access at which point that benefit loses a lot of value

2024-08-05 17:06:35 +0000 UTCPatreon has been trash. I like to go back and listen to older episodes but getting to them takes so long its easier to use spotify

Grelk
2024-05-02 00:52:40 +0000 UTCNeat concept for sure. But honestly it’s pretty cheap for your Patreon as it stands so maybe something like multiple tiers for other perks may work better. More concise and all that. Either way I think it’ll go good. But Personally I’m comfy here on Patreon
X-51 Dragon
2024-05-01 19:18:38 +0000 UTCPeople really are stupid, how do you misinterpret the fact that they were STILL going to keep using Patreon as normal as well as use another platform? You really thought they were going to just stop Patreon and then use a different platform? You really thought they were going to make you pay a separate 5$ for CS, RT, and OP? Just read all the details in the post before getting your panties in a bunch. It isn't that confusing
Matthew .Make No Mistake, I was there when they crucified my lord
2024-05-01 12:21:19 +0000 UTCif you did the YouTube membership then I would switch to that because I hate the patreon website when I want to watch more than one episode. I don't even have the patreon app because it is so laggy and annoying. I just use the RSS feed with a different app when I want to listen on my phone or in the car.
Avalon
2024-04-30 14:46:04 +0000 UTCI support this decision as having a third app would be a bit much. We're already established on youtube
CheeseCake King
2024-04-29 23:50:25 +0000 UTCi’ll gladly switch over to a platform that offers more benefits, patreon ain’t all that. It’d be nice for change, thanks for always trying to be better jackson

2024-04-29 15:44:00 +0000 UTCMaybe if yall add a gooning segment
Egg Lord
2024-04-28 07:13:17 +0000 UTCTo add on to this you can have the badges you talk about, the early video uploads and if you make separate channels for each podcast you could also have the individual podcast memberships for cheaper
kanaracko
2024-04-28 05:53:10 +0000 UTCWhy not make the official podcast channel have a membership feature for $5 and post videos early on yt for only those people

Wakeuplaid
2024-04-26 00:51:45 +0000 UTCIf you could find a platform that's better than patreon in terms of user experience then that would be amazing, patreon works kinda, but it's horrible at filtering the content, anytime I want to listen to an old bonus I have to wait through 5 long load times before I've clicked enough boxes to just get old bonuses, can't see how an alternative would be a bad idea
Simon Hughes
2024-04-26 00:34:30 +0000 UTCIf it's just an alternative to patreon why do you get the exclusive perks at the new place?

Matante Kurdent
2024-04-25 23:29:33 +0000 UTCI like the sound of this I just hope there would be a download button on this platform as I consume most of the podcasts offered here offline after I download them through patreon.

2024-04-25 22:39:40 +0000 UTCI like the idea alot, but I would hope there would be a way to link my patreon so I don't have to cancel a yearly membership
Cruz Jimenez
2024-04-25 21:12:06 +0000 UTCI misunderstood the first time, but if it's another site alongside Patreon I'd be totally cool with it especially if more video means more Watchparties. But it would have to be an app you could listen to on mobile as well with the screen locked

2024-04-25 16:46:25 +0000 UTCjust having video available with the early release would make it worth the switch
Mandark
2024-04-25 16:45:11 +0000 UTCThe option to get all the shows early and with video would be well worth it alone. Most of the time i wait to watch the podcast/red thread until it airs on youtube so I feel adding video to the early uploads would be an amazing change. Generally speaking I’m loving all the new changes and ideas recently!

2024-04-25 14:31:14 +0000 UTCPatreon mobile app sucks ass. I still don’t have access to months worth of content here. went back and forth with their support team over and over and their only solution was to try to listen on a PC that I don’t own.

Tetsuc4bra
2024-04-25 10:38:02 +0000 UTCme personally, I would use it for the exclusive stuff like watching the videos sometimes and the merch, but since Patreon integrates with Spotify it’s super easy for me to listen there. Totally down for it tho, sounds interesting and I’m sure people would enjoy it.
Joshua
2024-04-25 10:24:59 +0000 UTCI think it would probably be a good idea!! Esp if it gives you more options and better ways to show y'alls content to the audience. And if that new platform can save my place in videos that would also be amazing

2024-04-25 09:56:58 +0000 UTCI highly prefer Patreon, because I manage all my subscriptions here, but if you provide additional content that can't be realized on Patreon, I'd consider switching.
Alexander Wittich
2024-04-25 09:51:30 +0000 UTCTMG app was a good switch IMO. I like their app and they use it for multiple shows and seems to offer the same things your thinking about. I’d move to that tbh.

hero
2024-04-25 08:57:14 +0000 UTCNo! It's just an option as an alternative if someone doesn't like Patreon. We wouldn't ask people to support on both platforms and it's just user preference. Both sites get the same content. -J

2024-04-25 08:26:33 +0000 UTCAs long as it has RSS
coolp_xels
2024-04-25 08:26:33 +0000 UTCNo, in this situation you CAN pay less for individual shows but you'll still have the option of paying $5 a month for all shows! It's just an option in case someone only likes the main show and wants to pay less just for that show, etc. -J

2024-04-25 08:25:47 +0000 UTCHe says in the post it would be the same price

Bertil Olsson
2024-04-25 07:47:34 +0000 UTCAs someone who has other patreon subscriptions and listens to each series on the car, staying on this platform seems most convenient personally. Trying to manage another subscription service on top of my existing ones sounds like a pain

2024-04-25 06:17:22 +0000 UTCNo issue with this as long as it’s an app not online. I listen to another podcast called “the Ben and Emil show”. They did this recently cos Patreon was taking a massive cut
jack davidson
2024-04-25 05:50:21 +0000 UTCI have no loyalty to Patreon or a reason to stick around here besides the boys. But as a webdev I strongly discourage you from creating and maintaining your own site if that's what you're up to; most of the time the amount of money, time and effort spent just isn't worth it - especially for sites serving video content.
Dirty Mike
2024-04-25 05:50:16 +0000 UTCIf you use a different site and I choose to just use the new site instead of paying for both, will I still be able to listen to old bonuses without having to pay for patreon?

Carrossea
2024-04-25 05:00:00 +0000 UTCSaw that the price would be the same, awesome. I really only use Patreon for y’all and two other podcasts. If y’all used a Patreon alternative that they also use, that would be great. You guys are the only reason I haven’t switched to another platform in the first place.
See U Later
2024-04-25 04:41:51 +0000 UTCI only use patreon to sub to yall so sure why not.
Little Lacie
2024-04-25 04:41:05 +0000 UTCAs long as the base price for everything is still the same, and it would just be cheaper to choose one or two things by themselves, then I would switch over no problem.
See U Later
2024-04-25 04:39:53 +0000 UTCI would really prefer an option to have the RSS feed playable in Apple podcasts like on here, but I’ll join either way. That’s the only thing for me personally
corbin74
2024-04-25 04:35:27 +0000 UTCyeah, that’s fair. just unfortunate. they were a fun addition bc it’s just more of the same podcast we all love but with less of a filter bc no youtube upload, but it makes sense after 7 years
PercocetPete
2024-04-25 04:27:12 +0000 UTCThe patreon app is absolute dogshit, if the new ui is a usable improvement I could see myself trying it if the price stays the same for all the content you produce
Eric Curry
2024-04-25 04:21:48 +0000 UTCDefinitely look to TMG for inspiration if you’re looking at making an app.

2024-04-25 04:08:36 +0000 UTCIf it's called the official app I'm in
Thegamingpro22
2024-04-25 04:03:12 +0000 UTCI find it hard to track watch/listen history on patreon (compared to youtube for example). if im being honest, it is the main reason I'm letting my subscription run out on patreon and not renewing. I just can't be bothered to take the effort and find where I was on an ep, which ones i started but didn't finish, and if I switch devices I have to remember where I was and skip there. I would gladly support on another site that has better history tracking, but I don't want to on patreon. much love to the boys
Brian Cartwright
2024-04-25 04:00:16 +0000 UTCThis pod is straight up the only reason I use Patreon and I'm not a big fan of it but it's whatever. Wouldn't mind seeing something else.
Jacob Knarr
2024-04-25 03:59:45 +0000 UTCAs long as it's decent. Patreons app is pretty shitty but it's one of the better one's I've seen, but if it's at least on par then sure why not. Would the old backlog be on this site?
Joeballsaque
2024-04-25 03:56:54 +0000 UTC(Unrelated but is there anymore word on the bonuses with just you and kaya btw?? Its ok if not I know you guys been tryin to revive criminally stupid which is great, is that just going to be future watch parties between you two or are they goin to be a separate thing?)
Phoenix Igneous
2024-04-25 03:54:51 +0000 UTCWill the previous patreon exclusive episodes be on this new site? I like re listening to old bonuses
LilBaptize
2024-04-25 03:47:41 +0000 UTCI’m all for it as long as it’s an app that I can use in the background with my phone off. I listen pretty much exclusively at work and I can’t have my phone on all shift without it dying
Keegan
2024-04-25 03:47:41 +0000 UTCYou're still getting the same content. Literally nothing will change from your end if you choose not to subscribe to the alternate service. It just gives people a different option to support the crew that don't prefer patreon
Scab_Chips
2024-04-25 03:47:39 +0000 UTCwill we be able to keep the bonuses and previous content that you’ve put out?

Unknown Jpeg
2024-04-25 03:45:15 +0000 UTCIt seems like the alternative would become the “patreon” and nothing would get split up. Maybe I am mistaken
Keegan
2024-04-25 03:45:12 +0000 UTCmaybe floatplane? you can separate all the different podcasts (red thread, etc) into different mini-channels under one "brand" of The Official Podcast or The Boys or whatever. another youtuber, dankpods, did it with all of his different channels where he works on cars, talks about drums, etc
raventhegoat
2024-04-25 03:45:08 +0000 UTCPatreon as a site is pretty mid, honestly I just use the emails to know when stuff comes out and only log in for content or comments if I feel a need. Might be worth looking into Floatplane, I support Dankpods on there and the audio quality is great
Will Hammond
2024-04-25 03:43:17 +0000 UTChad to say hard no. i don't want another subscription service. patreon makes it easy for me to support you. I also like the idea of this being the official patreon for all "Official Podcast" endeavors including red thread and the Jack Off podcast. splitting it seems greedy
DiggingTrapHoles
2024-04-25 03:40:53 +0000 UTCI'd subscribe to something different. I just really hope that we can get he videos at the same time on the new platform if you decide to go to it. I've been subscribed to the patron for a while and I love listening into episodes before they come out. I do wish that I could watch the video early aswell. Might be something worth looking into. Keep it up boys.
Michael Brison
2024-04-25 03:39:52 +0000 UTCI think I’ve recommended a similar thing, sounds awesome! Can’t wait for the new criminally stupid
kanaracko
2024-04-25 03:39:16 +0000 UTCas long as the UI isn't clunky (and doesn't bug out all the time) and I get everything I'm currently getting (or more) for the same price, I'm on board all the way, Jackson
phsiic (sick)
2024-04-25 03:38:20 +0000 UTCThe patreon mobile app is shit. The filters+ search functions are bad and sometimes it takes ages to scroll through stuff when looking for older content. Also when using the app in my native language you can tell they just Google translated some stuff. Id be down to use another platform if you find something better that also has an app
Brz12311
2024-04-25 03:38:02 +0000 UTCfuck this is already so long but there’s so much to say. another point for keeping it all as one subscription is if you split it you might end up with shows that don’t do well financially and make sense to not do anymore but then that takes that away from the people that do want them, even if they are few
PercocetPete
2024-04-25 03:37:43 +0000 UTCIf that’s the case and the app works out then I’m all in, doesn’t sound like there’s a downside. Also, pumped for Podophiles!
Vuskenicht
2024-04-25 03:37:33 +0000 UTCI know why they cut it but it still sucks and the main and bonus were the only things I listen to from them I’m just not as interested in the other shows

2024-04-25 03:35:48 +0000 UTCyeah i saw that response i just still have the opinion that it’s easier to have it be one payment. plus, even if it was for just one show, i think you guys deserve 5 bucks a month at least for the work you put in and the entertainment (and at times knowledge) you provide. especially you with all the research you seem to do for red thread. i understand it can be easier for more people to pay less for less stuff but even for me (in a terrible financial position atm) i feel more than willing to pay the 5 bucks for all the content
PercocetPete
2024-04-25 03:34:42 +0000 UTCMy reason for saying No, when you say new membership site would there be an app, I personally appreciate the functionality of apps over the clunkiness of navigating a website.
Magdy Gerges
2024-04-25 03:33:46 +0000 UTCI’m thinking the same because they got rid of the bonuses
TexasMan903
2024-04-25 03:33:04 +0000 UTCmiss the bonuses but it made sense that those were the first thing to go. idk if you listened to the red thread after report but jackson talked about how the podcast, having run for so long, is getting a little stale for them hence some of them are branching out to new shows
PercocetPete
2024-04-25 03:32:33 +0000 UTCJust to clarify on 2), we'd still have the same ol' $5 package including everything! -J
The Boys
2024-04-25 03:31:45 +0000 UTCIf it brought back the bonuses I’d be willing for multiple subscriptions or even a higher tier
TexasMan903
2024-04-25 03:31:23 +0000 UTCpatreon ui is terrible and a switch off to a platform that works better would be great, however: 1) video is always nice, but it shouldn’t come at the cost of making audio only more difficult. myself, and i’m sure most others, listen to podcasts at work and video isn’t always an option and keeping the phone on and unlocked on a video drains more battery and such 2) imo splitting up prices per show just makes it more difficult
PercocetPete
2024-04-25 03:30:47 +0000 UTCI would be into a change if there were a functioning app, I only listen via patreon or Spotify so any change that doesn't support adio only is bad imo
Bryan Anderson
2024-04-25 03:30:32 +0000 UTCAs long as the episodes show up in the same manner on a Spotify/whatever feed, I'm for it
bis
2024-04-25 03:30:16 +0000 UTCNo, this is hinting at new merch subtly! -J
The Boys
2024-04-25 03:29:58 +0000 UTCCriminally stupid let's go
Yeetskeeter477
2024-04-25 03:29:39 +0000 UTCWould all the episodes that are currently getting uploaded here also be uploaded on this other platform ?
Fabian Vingochea jr
2024-04-25 03:29:08 +0000 UTCI joke Jackson, I love you ❤️
Super Dank Awesome Unikorn Guy
2024-04-25 03:28:35 +0000 UTCAll I want is early episodes on an rss feed. Yes.
Red Hot Willy Pumpers
2024-04-25 03:28:34 +0000 UTCMore content always makes me happy papa Jackson
Martian Manfucker
2024-04-25 03:28:20 +0000 UTCAwesome thanks for the clarification also I’m gonna touch you Jackson
Santas_Babe
2024-04-25 03:28:14 +0000 UTCI only use Patreon for this so I don’t mind moving to another service as long as I can still listen to stuff with my screen off
Kilmonjaro
2024-04-25 03:28:10 +0000 UTCBeen listening to yall for 6 years and just became a Patreon recently , either way I’m happy to finally support you guys
Juan Romero
2024-04-25 03:28:01 +0000 UTCIf the price is the same, yes. I wouldnt pay anymore however just because of lack of bonus content. I just don’t see the benefiet
Mitch Armitage
2024-04-25 03:27:53 +0000 UTCUsed to listen on Spotify, but found the Patreon with everything on it. Honestly, I only listen cause I like hearing y’all talk about random shit. Personally I don’t really care about specific “shows” since I listen to them all, but I know some people would like it
Nebula
2024-04-25 03:27:19 +0000 UTCSo, my question is, would you rather piss a peanut or shit a softball?
Josh Crawford
2024-04-25 03:26:29 +0000 UTCas long as its still 5$ im with it. if i could cast it on ios id be even happier.

Exotic_MV
2024-04-25 03:26:22 +0000 UTCid love to be able to filter episodes & add to a queue!
Persei8
2024-04-25 03:25:59 +0000 UTCyes but i would love the option to maintain an RSS feed to use with Apple Podcasts
Austin
2024-04-25 03:25:50 +0000 UTCWhats wrong with patreon?
Aidan Price
2024-04-25 03:25:49 +0000 UTCYeahhhhh Jackson wooooohoooooo
JakeP_2002
2024-04-25 03:25:35 +0000 UTCI am good with anything! I've always loved the stuff you boys put out and I'll follow where I have to.
Andrew
2024-04-25 03:25:32 +0000 UTCPatreon is honestly ass. Mobile and desktop. Make the switch
jack rouse
2024-04-25 03:25:24 +0000 UTCDiscounts to merch, wait they have merch other than the really old stuff
Joshua Palacios
2024-04-25 03:25:07 +0000 UTCWe will follow you anywhere jackson our lord and savior (because it's the same price)
Ramen Noodles
2024-04-25 03:24:27 +0000 UTCYeah, we'll clearly be showing everything the new platform offers before it goes live and there will be a month-long discount period. -J
The Boys
2024-04-25 03:23:21 +0000 UTCSame, I voted no because I already feel disappointed that bonuses were canceled after I paid for the annual membership.
Garlic Bread Ben
2024-04-25 03:22:49 +0000 UTCi just joined but yes
austin red
2024-04-25 03:22:15 +0000 UTCHey love you Jackson
Vittorino Alvarado
2024-04-25 03:21:47 +0000 UTCHonestly? Im currently cutting my subscription Services across everything. Making a new Account isn't something I'll do anytime soon. Love your stuff, though.
Greg K
2024-04-25 03:20:47 +0000 UTCWe're exploring the possibility of an app as well to solve that issue! -J
The Boys
2024-04-25 03:20:20 +0000 UTCOnly Fans?
Family Dollar
2024-04-25 03:19:41 +0000 UTCSame here! I would absolutely love a UI other than patreon's but I still want to listen while my phone screen is off.
Lukey
2024-04-25 03:19:41 +0000 UTCThank you for the quick response and transparency, Jackson. I'd love to follow you all.
Live Man
2024-04-25 03:19:28 +0000 UTCI would love it but y’all haven’t released merch in forever
Minimo
2024-04-25 03:18:10 +0000 UTC1. We'd like to include that functionality but we'll have to see if it's possible. 2. No, individual shows will be cheaper but we haven't decided on price points yet. -J
The Boys
2024-04-25 03:18:06 +0000 UTCin fact I would be incentived to move over if the player and search function works better than patreon lol
cas.ko
2024-04-25 03:16:11 +0000 UTCNo
D4C
2024-04-25 03:15:55 +0000 UTCI guess my only questions are: 1. Can we carry over the Patreon subscription? I subscribed for the year, and would love for that to transfer over. 2. Does the ability to subscribe to individual shows mean that it's 5 dollars per show?
Live Man
2024-04-25 03:15:53 +0000 UTCAny chance you guys can make a couple snip bits of the new stuff you guys have planned prior to going/creating and alternate platform and give Patreon members a week or month discount just so we can test the water and see what we like?
Santas_Babe
2024-04-25 03:15:36 +0000 UTCSounds great except I usually listen at work which means my phone is asleep in my pocket. Unless I’m mistaken, I can’t do this on a browser page
Vuskenicht
2024-04-25 03:15:08 +0000 UTCso when you say that you guys plan on offering the ability to subscribe to individual shows, will that still cost 5 dollars?
BottleHippie
2024-04-25 03:14:19 +0000 UTCMy only gripe with patreon has been UI issues on mobile over the years. The search is abysmal and you guys have been in the game for so long scrolling is kinda out of the question at this point. Hope you guys go with something more user-friendly but I'll keep subbing wherever you end up.
Dee Jay
2024-04-25 03:14:11 +0000 UTCThe only reason I’m on Patreon at all is you guys. It’s basically my OP app.
Bwoods
2024-04-25 03:13:32 +0000 UTCYes, but also no because I paid for an annual membership right before the major podcast changes were announced earlier this year 💀
Solar Insurgent
2024-04-25 03:13:32 +0000 UTCi'd sub regardless of what platform you guys use as long as it's mobile friendly and we can download episodes to listen offline, because having to fuck around with the patreon app at work or on the road when it bugs out sucks ass
cas.ko
2024-04-25 03:13:16 +0000 UTCWould you transfer old episodes to the new site? More features sounds great but I like to come back to old bonuses and the like, and I wouldn't want to split payments (even though $5 is more than worth it) ❤️
Randy Lahey
2024-04-25 03:13:15 +0000 UTCI use Spotify with Patreon so that I can listen to all my podcasts and music on Spotify
Snow Ball968
2024-04-25 03:13:11 +0000 UTCAs long as the podcast rss connection still works, another platform is fine. Would there be an app?
Jessie
2024-04-25 03:13:10 +0000 UTCNot so much separate! It's just an alternative to Patreon! We don't want people subscribing on both platforms, we're just giving people choices of platforms (as people often complain about Patreon functionality itself). -J
The Boys
2024-04-25 03:13:01 +0000 UTChell yeah then go hog wild friend
The Boi
2024-04-25 03:12:33 +0000 UTCI was vote 300, anyway yeah I'm good with a transition is there's is not difference
fack tart
2024-04-25 03:12:03 +0000 UTCYes, it's a Patreon alternative but not a replacement! So Patreon will continue to exist and be updated the same way it has forever! -J
The Boys
2024-04-25 03:11:43 +0000 UTCSince I listen while I’m at work, the video would not be a perk I could take advantage of. The other perks are still nice, specifically subscribing to individual shows
Chris’s Secret 3rd Ball
2024-04-25 03:11:40 +0000 UTCAs long as subscriptions carry over, I pay annually and don't want to be stuck on a worse platform for almost a year
Jack
2024-04-25 03:11:36 +0000 UTCI'll support the official brand no matter where it is but patreon Is definitely an easy and comfortable way to do it for me. I'm conflicted personally, I like the ease of patreon but if the prices stay the same and I get better content then I'd like to hear the alternative to where it would be. I always listen in audio format so the patreon app has made it easy. Will your new method be as easy for audio only listeners?
Bryan Anderson
2024-04-25 03:11:28 +0000 UTCI mean, yeah, I guess I’m already here 😅
Caleb Pitts
2024-04-25 03:11:24 +0000 UTCAnyway you boys can move off of discord? Tried to watch the show live this week and i couldn’t hear anyone
SoulReaper644
2024-04-25 03:11:20 +0000 UTCWe haven't been able to figure out an easy way to accomplish that yet but would recommend just supporting us on one platform anyway! -J
The Boys
2024-04-25 03:11:12 +0000 UTCI need separate rss feeds for all the podcasts, it's getting hard to manage
Juan De León
2024-04-25 03:11:11 +0000 UTCYou should move to watcher
Peyton Grayson
2024-04-25 03:10:59 +0000 UTCHow?
Jack
2024-04-25 03:10:45 +0000 UTCThanks jack son
Payto
2024-04-25 03:10:42 +0000 UTCWould the Patreon be left out of stuff? One thing I like about the Patreon is we have access to all the shows. As long as it’s like that I’m sure it’s not going to be bad at all
Aotd
2024-04-25 03:10:34 +0000 UTCAnother separate thing would be such a pain. Think of all the streaming services we already probably have. At least Patreon and Curiosity consolidate creators, but that's two separate platforms for creators we watch on youtube.
Thaddeus Tobin
2024-04-25 03:10:33 +0000 UTCSorry, I meant if you only want to support Red Thread or Criminally Stupid, we'll likely offer tiers JUST for those shows at under $5 a month. The $5 a month for EVERYTHING tier will still exist. This isn't a price increase! -J
The Boys
2024-04-25 03:10:32 +0000 UTCWould there be an app?
Tyvin Wells
2024-04-25 03:10:11 +0000 UTCIdk I always use the mobile app so if this has one then yeah
Love Ducks
2024-04-25 03:10:04 +0000 UTCOkay Watcher lol
Caleb Pitts
2024-04-25 03:10:03 +0000 UTCI just want my subscription to carry over would be all as I pay for the year (tight on money and would really want the price to stay similar if it can) but yah I dont care for the patreon ui tbh, regardless i just like supporting the lads
Phoenix Igneous
2024-04-25 03:09:49 +0000 UTCyes, as long as we can still subscribe to every show for the same amount :)
Landon
2024-04-25 03:09:49 +0000 UTCThe watcher method would be putting all non-bonus content behind a paywall. This will just be bonus shit, we would still have the free mainline episodes
Chris’s Secret 3rd Ball
2024-04-25 03:09:47 +0000 UTCHmm well it depends. Would we be forced to sub to each show or could we just do the all encompassing one for 5 dollars? Also does this new service have an app where I can download the podcast eps and listen with my phone off? Will the patreon be deleted too?
Jacob G
2024-04-25 03:09:47 +0000 UTCNo, we're still posting all of the content that we're posting for free on YouTube already! There's really nothing majorly new about the alternative other than giving people a new platform to support us on instead of just Patreon (+ video uploads early, etc). You're not losing anything by staying on Patreon or however you currently listen to us and we're not locking anything behind the new alternative! -J
The Boys
2024-04-25 03:09:42 +0000 UTCI’d be down to use aN alternative to Patreon especially if we got more criminally stupid(podophiles)
Thornoggin
2024-04-25 03:09:41 +0000 UTC“Ability to subscribe to individual shows instead of everything.” So i have to pay an extra $5 to subscribe to the Red Thread so I can get early content? What does that mean?
DJ Leanczar
2024-04-25 03:09:38 +0000 UTCYes but is there any chance you guys could give a discount for people who would like to support your guys one both platforms?
Santas_Babe
2024-04-25 03:09:21 +0000 UTCKoFi takes less cut per month.
Jackson Clarke’s Right Hand
2024-04-25 03:09:11 +0000 UTCThe only reason I have patreon downloaded on my phone is for you boys. (Specifically Jackson and Kaya as of a long time).
Luke Seth
2024-04-25 03:09:09 +0000 UTCokay, would you be willing to keep the Patreon up? id like to get the full package while also not having another application i have to give a fuck about.
The Boi
2024-04-25 03:09:07 +0000 UTCAbso-fuckin-lutely, patreon BARELY works on my phone browser
Slugmancer
2024-04-25 03:08:51 +0000 UTCYes I only really use patreon for you anyway I don't mind going to other sites I just love the content and want to support you guys and if the new site results in a better user experience then why not!
bingus 69
2024-04-25 03:08:49 +0000 UTCAs long as I could still listen to exclusive content on my mobile device. I’d be sad if I couldn’t do that anymore.
EmptyJuul
2024-04-25 03:08:49 +0000 UTCQuestion, if we were able to subscribe to individual sections of the podcast would it cost less or the same?
Joe's pizza
2024-04-25 03:08:46 +0000 UTCOh ok. Thank you
Squig
2024-04-25 03:08:42 +0000 UTCi will go to whatever platform has more episodes of criminally stupid‼️‼️
Braden Gerow
2024-04-25 03:08:38 +0000 UTCThis is the only show I support on Patreon, so i would have no issue switching! :)
Christina
2024-04-25 03:08:33 +0000 UTCI only use this for you. If you swap I swap
Joshua Craig
2024-04-25 03:08:29 +0000 UTCIf you stay on patreon then absolutely!
dalton clack
2024-04-25 03:08:28 +0000 UTCI mean if it still has the spotify integration it wouldn't be the end of the world but id still prefer not
Ryan Elgie
2024-04-25 03:08:26 +0000 UTCAbsolutely, TMG moved away from patreon to their own thing and it is 100x more functional. Patreon is subpar and the UI sucks
hoodie_hung
2024-04-25 03:08:16 +0000 UTCPatreon would remain and include all of the same content (sans video uploads)! It's just an alternative with slightly more features! -J
The Boys
2024-04-25 03:08:03 +0000 UTCI enjoy being able to listen to episodes live/early, but I've gotta say I like seeing all the boys on camera. I would be down for an alternative site.

2024-04-25 03:08:00 +0000 UTCI’d rather not but for yall yes

2024-04-25 03:07:47 +0000 UTCI would like an alternative with those options but would the audio recordings still be fully available on Patreon

Alex Kostiuk
2024-04-25 03:07:17 +0000 UTCWould you stay on Patreon too or ditch this site for the new one?
Squig
2024-04-25 03:07:17 +0000 UTCYes, if bonuses come back 😔
