Patreon Update, and a Couple of Questions

Added 2022-05-15 17:06:22 +0000 UTC

Hi everyone! First of all, I am completely blown away by how many people have shown support on here - it was more than I ever could have expected, and I cannot thank each and every one of you enough. You are all amazing and I'm excited to keep making content for you guys! A couple of questions about how this all works:

-Usually once I get a video on YouTube, I schedule it to release at 5 PM that Wednesday, but in doing so, YouTube forces the video to be private. In getting videos early to patrons, would it make sense to just manually share it with everyone's emails? Should I upload a separate unlisted "Patreon early access version"? Is there a far better solution I'm not thinking of?

-You all probably know that I find it funny to end videos abruptly, which is why I didn't initially include a "Patron shoutout" benefit, but I still want to be able to shout you all out when the opportunity comes - for example, the end of part 3 of the diner video will likely have a credits sequence. I was also thinking I could put everyone in the video descriptions. Is there anyone who doesn't want to be shouted out, or wants to be called by a different name? Feel free to message me about this!

Thanks again for the help and support, and look forward to a big New Jersey train-themed video this week!
