New tiers from today

EDITED AT 18.14 01/02 TO EXPLAIN PRICE INCREASE 

Good morning,

I hope everyone survived what seemed like an eternal January.

As mention previously, January saw changes to the billing cycle and release schedule and February will see a tweaked tier structure come into play.

Below is a rundown of the tiers and what you can expect. I was planning on introducing a new $5 tier that would be for images only but I'm going to hold off on that for a while as I'm still in two minds about it.

You'll notice the new $36 Super Fan VIP tier look a lot like the old $25 Super Fan tier. And although it will include some additional content, you are right.

I can absolutely totally understand why a 50% hike may seem a lot - but let me explain why it's not. Context is important - I launched the $25 Super Fan tier in July 2020. At launch, the $25 SF tier entitled members access to 5 films to stream and download every month. In the 4.5 years since it launched, the price of that tier has not change but the number of films in that tier has grown from 5 to 9 - that's an 80% increase!!! That's obviously crazy, so this tweak corrects that.

Comparison is also important - I always work on the assumption that fans probably only really like 3 of the 9 films I release every month. Three films for $36 is $12 a film. That's cheap when compared to what my fellow producers are charging - and insane value when you compare quality.

Also, I've designed it so all of the 6 new films released every month are in the $28 SF tier. So fans can stick in that tier and upgrade to the VIP tier as and when there's a re-release or XXX cut of a film they are interested in.

Hope that helps ...

The short answer is yes, although the new VIP tier will include some additional content. I can totally understand why a 50% hike may seem steep - but let me explain why it's not. Context is important - I launched the $25 Super Fan tier in July 2020. In 4.5 years the price has been unchanged. At launch, the $25 SF tier entitled members access to 5 films to stream and download every month. In the 4.5 years since it launched, the price of that tier has not change but the number of films in that tier has grown from 5 to 9 - that's an 80% increase!!!

I'm a bit confused still about all the changes. Can I ask concretely: is it correct that the benefits that corresponded to the psycho killer superfan 2.0 previously (e.g. 6 months ago) now correspond to the psycho killer superfan VIP tier? If so, that's a 50% price increase (from 24.50 a month to 36.00 a month), which is quite steep.
