Great News!
Added 2017-12-13 21:48:56 +0000 UTCHello lovely Patrons! If you missed the Patreon debacle of the last week then lucky you - it's all over now, so don't worry! No need to read any more, except that I am supremely grateful to all of you! <3
If you were following along, Patreon have just announced they will not be making the proposed changes to their fee structures.
I refrained from saying anything publicly whilst everything was up in the air (though behind the scenes I did write a scathing letter to the company). Some people chose to modify or delete their pledges; I understand absolutely and as always your money is yours to do with what you like!
Right now I'd just like to give a special thank you to all of you, and especially to those who pledge $1 or $2, for weathering the storm. Over the last week several creators have echoed what I've said since I started this project, which is that you are the backbone of the entire operation. Philosophy Tube simply would not exist without crowdfunding, and though I have a few more grey hairs as a result of this omnishambles it looks like things will, fingers crossed, be okay!

Big up Olly.... Been watching you Channel flourish since you was a mere 60k subs on YouTube. Happy to contribute. It's been pretty long overdue on my part ✌️

2017-12-14 22:51:50 +0000 UTCJust a few days ago I started making some numbers after the patreon email I received, and to recap if the new fee were to be implemented it will took away almost half of the creators earnings (which is obviously a super high fee) I never withdraw the support for you or any of my other patreons, I would have redouble my donations if that helped a little bit more, but hopefully it won't happen! Love to keep seeing more of you in the next 2018! Cheers men!

2017-12-14 13:33:19 +0000 UTCReally glad to be able to pledge again. I can only afford $1/mo for my favourite 10 creators, and the price hike made it simply unaffordable. Glad they listened to the creators and supporters in the end
