Subject: Important Update: More Content, Lower Prices & The Future of "The Growing Virus"
🕑 Added 2025-09-13 21:53:30 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
Gonna be real with you all. We've had a ton of people unsubscribe recently, and it's hit a point where I need to be totally transparent about the future.
The truth is, if we can't get the numbers to recover, I'll be forced to cancel "The Growing Virus" series entirely.
That would be gutting, because I truly think it's the best work I've ever done, and I'm just scratching the surface of what I can do with Blender to make it even better. But all that extra work and quality costs time and money, and right now I'm basically losing revenue trying to improve things for you guys. It's just not sustainable.
So, I'm going to try something drastic. For the next 3 months, I'm jamming the tiers with way more value as a test run to see if we can save this thing.
Here's the deal:
Premium Tier: I'm dropping the price from $12 to $11, and you're now getting TWO 8-minute animations per month instead of one 6-minute one. Yep, more than double the content for less money. (And of course, you're still getting access to everything in the other tiers as well)
Animation Lover Tier: You're getting a 10-minute animation every month instead of a 6-minute one.
This is a test. If you want to see these changes become permanent and save "The Growing Virus" (and help it get even better), now is the time to subscribe or consider upgrading your tier.
This new schedule is already active—that's why the latest EP dropped so early. The next episode of "Mia the Growing Beauty" is coming right after it. Quick heads-up though: that one, and probably the next one or two after, will still be around 6 minutes long since they were already in the pipeline. The new 8-minute lengths will kick in right after that.
Thanks for reading, and for all the support. Let's make this work.

Me I unsubbed because I'm encountering financial problems. I unsubbed to all my 20 creators but 1. Then I seen your post and for the quality upgrade, I thought it was worth staying after all.

While it is appreciated to make a small saving, this wont kick in until November on my part and next months subscription cost is being charged the same. For the premium tier of $1 reduction, I am not sure that is enough to warrant future value, but to assure you, I am happy to continue subscribing for now as I like your content :-). Given all the website issues and restrictions associated (totally appreciate these are in place for a reason), it makes things tougher overall to justify. If many people have simply unsubscribed, then it could be a case that many just dont want to say anything about issues they are encountering, or its not been taken onboard and they are voting with their wallet; it sucks granted, but it offers a reflective point, which I think you are trying to enact a solution to help the matter, and thats great to see. You also have additional content behind another paywall after the subscription tier costs utilising a credit system, so for a lot of people it is just not financially viable. For myself, I cannot justify more than what I am currently paying as it is already on the pricier end for a content creator per month and as has been highlighted before, other content creators are cheaper, but equally some are more expensive. Again, I am not going to see the saving of this appreciated price decrease until the start of November, but I do hope it works for you and hope you can continue producing high quality content going forward :-).

I was going to upgrade then I saw I was already premium, carrying on. But best of luck, the reason I AM premium is your stuff is just high grade!

Honnestly I'd pay more, you're one of my favorite creators, lol.

Man sucks to hear. I really like your content and that E2 of Virus is really good. It's rare for GTS videos to have voice acting too. Looking forward to next Mia episode though she always was my favorite.

I wonder if people unsubbed because u finished Sophie's series. I came here because of that one but I stayed because I like the rest of your work :)

It's sad things like this happens. Let's hope things get better. And one question about what you said about (The next episode of "Mia the Growing Beauty" is coming right after it.). Do you mean that EP 5 will be posted this month also?
Sam
I do like the growing virus series and I hope that you are able to make more of it
