New Tiers for New Channels (You're Being Grandfathered)
🕑 Added 2025-02-07 16:18:39 +0000 UTCOk, so with the start of some new channels and building up an existing one, I'm going to be reinstituting tiers for different content levels again. However, those that are currently members on patreon are going to be grandfathered into the highest tier since you've been getting anything and everything I put out regardless. For those that joined the patreon specific discord that I haven't used in forever, I will start being in there on an everyday basis, and it'll be the only server I have with notifications on so if anyone is in and wants to chat and I'm not recording, I'll be in there to chat. Not only that, at least once a week I'll be in a voice channel for a few hours to just shoot the shit with whoever wants to hop in. Also working on a either an intro or outro screen for videos that shouts out as many patrons as possible at a time to either precede a video or proceed it as a show of appreciation. So the new tiers will be as follows:
Free Tier: Basically anytime I record a show reaction to something like Still Game (or as I had promised but haven't really had time for Some Mothers), or have a blocked youtube video, I'll post that reaction there, in addition to the rest of other tiers, for the appropriate content tier.
$1 Crew Level 1: Access to non video posts, polls, and discord
$2 More Reactions Early Access: All previous level content and at least 2 weeks early access to clip reactions for the More Eclectic Beard Reactions content. Will take any suggestions for videos and run a poll once a month. The winning video will be exclusive to this tier and will be the only portion of the tier perks that will not be shared with the grandfathered and ultimate tier. The winning suggestor will be shouted out in the video. IF the suggester of the winning clip gives the ok for the clip to be put onto youtube the clip will stay an exclusive to patreon for a month and will be scheduled for a future release on youtube so the tier has a full chance to enjoy the video before release to the channel.
$3 Music only tier: Access to the perks of the free and $1 tier level and 2 weeks early access to videos. Will also be doing polls for full album reactions exclusive to Patreon as well as a monthly poll for song album reactions to put onto youtube where the patron that suggested the song winner will be shouted out in the video. The suggested songs will be the only perk of the tier that is not shared with the grandfathered and ultimate tiers. If the suggestor wants it to be shared to youtube, it will be a patreon exclusive for a month before it is put onto youtube.
$4 Shows and Movies Tier: This tier has access to the free and $1 tier and unedited reactions to shows and movies before they make an appearance on youtube. As well as early access to the comedic clips and skit reactions posted to youtube. They will have access to all previous show and movie reactions on Patreon. I'll take movie and comedy reaction requests and at the end of every month will do a poll with the suggestions given. The winning clip or movie will be put on here unedited. This is an exclusive perk that will not be released to the grandfathered or ultimate tiers and will only be released to youtube if the winning suggestor is fine with it. Then it will be a patreon exclusive for a month before it is released onto youtube.
$3 Anime Only Tier: Access to perks in the free and $1 tier. Unedited reactions to content posted onto the Eclectic Beard's Anime Journey, tier exclusive posts and polls. Will run a monthly poll for anime, anime movies manga or manwha to take a look at. Will react to a singular episode (will be put into a poll after the conclusion of a simulcast show season OR after the completion of a show on the channel and in patreon for consideration for further reaction for youtube or as a Patreon exclusive show) or anime movie. For manga will look buy 1 volume of the winning suggestion and do a review video with full page showcasing. The winning suggestor will be shouted out in the video and for the movie suggestion winners, if the suggestor is ok with it being posted to youtube, the unedited reaction will be a patreon exclusive for a month before the edited reaction is released to youtube. For manga and manwha winning suggestions, the video if the suggestor doesn't mind or wants it on youtube will have much of the page presentation cut out to avoid ip and copyright issues that often trips up a youtube channel for reviewers. This is the only tier perk that will not be shared to the grandfathered and ultimate tier levels for patreon.
$2 Grandfathered tier: You will still receive all current and any new content from all tiers going forward with the exception of tier specific perks from user suggestion winners of those tiers. You've been here before and have frankly been through my bi polar ish behavior in here. You've suffered enough. Also, will begin reacting to a tier exclusive movie or show episode or comedy clip a month. This will be a capped tier, capped to the amount of current paying members. IF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION LAPSES OR IS GOING TO LAPSE THEN MESSAGE ME. I'LL DROP THE CAP BY ONE AND THEN MESSAGE ME AGAIN IF YOU DECIDE TO REJOIN. I'LL HAVE A LIST OF NAMES OF THE CURRENT TIER MEMBERS AND WILL RAISE THE CAP AND MESSAGE YOU SO YOU CAN REJOIN AT THAT LEVEL. WILL BE THE ONLY TIER MEMBERS THAT THIS HAPPENS FOR.
$10 Ultimate Tier: All access. Access to all but tier specific perks of every tier. Unedited and early access reactions for music, culture, comedy, tv show, movie and anime reactions. 1 Ultimate tier discord voice chat a week. Tier exclusive posts and polls. Will react to a comedy clip, show episode, or movie once a month that will be exclusive to this tier only. Winning suggestor will be shouted out and if the suggestor wishes for it to be posted to youtube, will be a patreon exclusive for a month before it's put onto youtube.
Now for much of this, I 100% know it is VERY VERY VERY much putting the cart before the horse. The anime channel has to be built literally from the ground up, the music channel is less than 5k subs and the More Eclectic Beard channel currently isn't even monetized (though another 1.8k view time it will be and I have a feeling I'll hit that before the end of the month, possibly by the end of next week). Outside of the main channel and the anime channel I could opt for channel memberships and do the early access that way but it'll be much harder to do anything exclusive that may be blocked or struck by youtube. For you OGs in here, things won't change for you since I'm grandfathering and capping the only current tier. I'll be doing this Monday. I'll be uploading the last episode of season 1 of Mr Inbetween here in a bit and then I'll be uploading the rest of what I have for Ted Lasso and Vikings (Like 4 more episodes of Lasso and 2 of Vikings). I thought I had more OFAH already recorded but since I am ahead so far on the shows for the channel, next week will be focusing on recording and finishing up Porridge and getting through at least a season of OFAH and a season of Doctor Who. I've got I want to think 2, maybe 3 more episodes of Porridge. What is the recommendation to replace it with?
