THE NEW PATREON LIVE STREAM SITE IS ALMOST READY! :-)
Added 2020-04-28 22:46:21 +0000 UTCOkay, Gang, I'm in the process of getting the new Patreon, THE CAVE, set up to be the home of podcasts and live streams.
PLEASE REMEMBER! - If you read this and check it out, please don't forget that it's almost the end of the month. If you join today, they'll hit you for a monthly fee again on Friday, and I know it's only 2 bucks, but it's still probably better to wait. :-)
THE DETAILS: I outlined this in a Live Stream here at THE GOOSH the other day, but I know everyone can't be there at the same time, so I'll give you guys the details:
I've been wanting to create a community of people who enjoy talking politics, pop culture and basically anything current - and for that matter - old school. This new community, THE CAVE, will be where we record my podcast going forward. I'll be doing some advertising for the podcast, so hopefully it will be taking off.
My initial idea was to put everything available for $5 per month. Unfortunately, there is no way to give you guys here who are at that level or above automatic access over there. Because of that, I wanted to make sure you guys didn't see it as disrespectful; the idea of me starting a new Patreon, but not being able to bring you guys aboard. At the live stream, it was unanimous that you guys were okay with it, and I thank you.
I have updated the concept, and it will now be $2 per month for full access. The live streams over there are done through Crowdcast, which means we get to converse in real time AND I can easily bring any of you guys right into the stream with me!
The plan is to record my weekly podcast episodes as live streams at THE CAVE, post articles of news items, opinion pieces and stuff like that, which will then likely become topics in streams or podcast streams. The articles I post over there are also entirely free for you guys to re-post, in whole or in part, anywhere you'd like, if you have a use for such things... A link to THE CAVE would be nice when re-posting, but not required.
I think this will be a GREAT deal of fun for those of us who enjoy some good hashing out of the topics of the day. As ALWAYS, my main goal is that we can create a fun community.
Things are just getting set up. There is one article posted and there will soon be the first live stream/podcast scheduled. For any of you interested, I hope to see you there, but remember, there are only a couple days left in the month, then Patreon automatically rebills, so feel free to wait until Friday if you'd like to join. :-)
THE CAVE is at: https://www.patreon.com/curtiscandy
Please give me any of your thoughts, questions or concerns about this in the comments below... Talk to you guys soon. :-)

2020-04-29 12:31:58 +0000 UTCI don't like to repeat the thoughts of everyone else, but I just don't see the need for splitting the community like this. I like talking politics and thouroughly enjoy a good discussion and would probably still pay the extra 2 bucks I just don't see why I should have to.

2020-04-29 11:50:52 +0000 UTCI'm with Mr Miles a bit not new and I do watch most of your reactions not a huge fan of code geass so I only watch it while I do something else but I'm also catching up on some older ones anyway sidetracked a bit there It doesn't bother me at all I just don't see any need for it to be a second patreon but I'll be signing up regardless

2020-04-29 06:39:44 +0000 UTCActually I don't like this idea now that I think on it, or rather how you intend to implement it. I'm with Miles. And why not just make it available for all Patreons on here? I don't think I've ever seen this before either, a YouTuber with 2 Patreons. I think I'll stick to this Patreon as I feel one Patreon should include everything. At least depending on the tier. It's not so much a matter of the amount, it's just kinda strange. Also I think you should have asked on Patreon first, not a livestream. Hopefully this comment is okay, well tbh I don't care lol. I always post my thoughts with no sugar coating. Better to tell it straight.
2020-04-29 02:31:30 +0000 UTCI'm still fairly new to this community, so I don't feel that my thoughts or opinions should matter much because I'm still kind of an outsider. However, I will share how I feel. I'm not very thrilled at the idea of creating a new Patreon for this. I don't understand why you have to cut out everyone that's already signed up here. I'm not upset, I just don't understand it. I'm a $5 supporter and my main interest is your Bleach reactions. I don't watch Code Geas or One Piece. I am fully aware this is my problem though. But, it still kind of stings that I'd need to pay again on another Patreon when I don't take full advantage of the subscription I already have here. But again, I accept that is a "me" problem. It's not your fault that One Piece or Code Geas doesn't interest me. Ultimately you're not taking away any access from me. I'll still be paying 5 bucks to see you react to Bleach. Nothing actually changes for me so I can't exactly be upset. I may feel left out a bit but I'll get over that. But if I threw a fit over 2 extra dollars.. well, hopefully, I'll never be that childish or cheap. That about sums up my thoughts... I'm not sure if this was helpful but you did ask, so I shared.
