A Quick Note on Channel Memberships
🕑 Added 2020-02-19 01:56:31 +0000 UTCFriends:
You might have noticed that I recently rolled out Channel Memberships on YouTube. This feature allows people to support the channel directly on YouTube.
You might be wondering how this will effect Patreon or if the rewards will be better for Channel Members.
Don't worry; nothing will change here. I have some custom emojis and membership badges for Channel Members but Patreon is going to stay my focus. You all have made this channel possible and I'm going to keep giving you the early access and exclusive content you've come to expect.
I'm doing Channel Memberships for one reason: some people will NEVER become Patrons. Some people have political or ideological objections to Patreon or they don't want to go through the sign-up process. Many of these people have specifically asked me to offer Channel Memberships. So, I'm rolling this option out for people who don't want to do Patreon.
That's it.
Thank you all for your constant support!

thanks for all what you are doing i have learnt so much about hand tools, :)
Rex Krueger
And I'm glad you're here to be a part of this community!

I can't remember which of you videos I saw first, but I immediately loved your basic hand tool approach to woodworking. I had a;ready worked with power tools and it got a little boring. Seeing the pure hand tool approach, especially stuff you could easily pick up on the cheap from flea markets, resale store, etc definitely kicked some excitement backing the hobby for me. I am glad to support the your content and channel.
Rex Krueger
OH! That makes SO much more sense. Thanks!
Rex Krueger
You're much too kind. Really.
Rex Krueger
And thank YOU for being here. You all make everything possible.

I took me a YEAR to get my first plane working, so don't feel bad!
Dieter Gobbers
Thanks for the clarification! I recently tuned a cheap plane following your "Super-tuning the Stanley 12-404 plane" video. It took me several days till I was halfway satisfied with the result, but now I can use it - yeah!

You are the only person I'm patronizing.... Well, the only person I'm giving money to on Patreon, anyway. I like your content that much. Thanks for keeping us updated.

Sorry for the mystery comment, that was just my odd sense of humor kicking in. That translates to "If they can't put their hands in their pockets they can't reach their wallet meaning they will never contribute."
Josh McWilliams
I am highly opposed to your YouTube Membership......... Because now I have two memberships t o keep track of. l am officially a dual patreon/youtube card carrying member. lol
Rex Krueger
I think you lost me on that one. Sorry, haven't had enough coffee yet today.
Ed Smeltz
Thanks for keeping us advised, Rex. What you are doing makes sense to do. Keep those great videos coming. I have been watching them for weeks and still have not seen them all. :-)
Frank
Some people have hands so big they don't fit in their pants pocket. Pity, they don't know what they're missing.
Rex Krueger
I'm really glad you see it that way!
Rex Krueger
What other people said. Some folks got banned for sketchy reasons. It was a mess.
Rex Krueger
I'm glad you think it makes sense!
Rex Krueger
You're very welcome. I love doing it!
Rex Krueger
You're very kind!
Rex Krueger
Thank you! The Patrons will stay the focus!
Rex Krueger
You're very kind! I don't think the button shows on mobile.
Rex Krueger
Well, that's interesting...
Rex Krueger
That's a REALLY nice and sensible way to look at it. Thanks!
Rex Krueger
Yeah. What are you gonna do? Running this thing takes money and adsense doesn't pay enough to keep the lights on.
Steve Crane
I'll continue supporting you on Patreon as long as there are no emojis; hate them. I noticed a comment on the memberships video that was just "Unsubscribing"; because how dare you expect people to pay, the internet should all be free, yadda, yadda. People are just weird.
Nic Beurskens
You'd be crazy not to drive memberships on YT. Keep up the work that got you to where you are and the next 100k will be close behind!

Also think about the https://lbry.com/ some creators move there for a lot of reasons, check it out :)
Paul Pearson
Couldn’t find the join button.... I’d add to you tube to get em rolling in... Lila a tip jar....always bait it with a few
Rick Prosser
More support is good! Very pleased with your support of us Patreons.
Mark Coren
I'm glad to see you reaching out to supporters on a variety of platforms. I hope the YouTube community grows as much as this one has!
Mark Coren
There was some controversy last year when they removed some accounts that were promoting hate speech through other channels. Some thought that it was taking an ideological stance promoting certain values and somehow denying people freedom of speech (which isn't technically a right on any media platform). There was an exit of some of the banned party's followers but in the long run it seems that most people agreed with Patreon's decisions.
Brett Clark
Thanks for the clarification, and LOTS of thanks for all of the great videos!
Hassan Rogers
Make sense, many creators wouldn’t bother to update us, thanks for the explanation and I look forward to more of your content!
Josh McWilliams
Just curious , but what issues do people have with Patreon on a political or ideological level ?
Juan Karlo Licudine
Appreciate the explanation. I think it makes sense to offer other ways for people to support.
