These art critique/art help streams were pretty fun, but I wanted to toss some ideas to June and crew based on some other streams I watch with viewer contributions.
I do think it’s the right call to have the people who can submit be tied to the Patreon, but I think it would be better if these were community streams and not just Patreon streams. I see it as a way to advertise the Patreon while providing a resource to your community. If you did go this route, it’d probably be a good idea to set rules the chat needs to follow to make sure things don’t get toxic.
As for submissions, it might be better to request submissions the week before the stream and then whichever ones you don’t get to during stream have to resubmit. If you just keep every submission, the backlog will be too much, and I saw people in chat wishing they could change their submissions, which this would allow them to do.
Lastly, I don’t think there necessarily needs to be a new Patreon tier for submissions, but if you were going to do that, I would suggest either have it between the $5 and $10 tier or have a new higher cost tier that guarantees a slot on the stream, but I’m iffy on the latter option. I feel like if you went with the latter option it’d possibly lead to some toxic behavior (i.e. community infighting, entitlement, etc.), whereas the former option keeps things more fair, but raises the threshold of who’s allowed to submit.
I hope these ideas/ suggestions are helpful!

Thanks again for just the idea of these streams. It's a nice concept and hopefully a lot of us gained some useful information for you and the team. Hope to see more 'classes' in the future.
