Big Tier Update
Added 2020-06-30 02:00:52 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
Any long-time patrons will know I had always intended to up the tier price as I never expected things to take off the way they did and for this to be a (currently) full-time thing. I'd initially announced it was happening in October 2019 and I didn't because a load of new people joined and I felt bad about changing it. I'd also wanted to hold off because of the pandemic since I know times are hard for a lot of us. It's also a pain changing prices because you can't just edit a tier and change the price, you have to retire it and set up a whole new one.
However, my dad lost his job today. He's going to be moving away soon so I'm having to find a place to live much earlier than I'd anticipated and support us both in the meantime. I do feel terrible for upping prices but at this point it's a necessity for me. If you don't want to pay any more for content I completely get it, and everything that's currently available to the lowest tier will stay that way; only future content will be affected so there's still plenty of content available.
If you signed up for The 100 and Agents of SHIELD reactions specifically at the $2 tier they will also remain unchanged. (EDIT: OUaT will also go to this tier). The $1 tier won't be retired but it'll just become a generic 'support the channel' tier and access to the Discord.
Buffyverse reactions will now be available at the $5 tier for Buffy S7 and Angel S4 & 5. As previously stated, the back catalogue of Buffyverse still on here will still be available to all tiers. I'm really sorry if that's too much for some of you, but I can assure you the reactions won't be going anywhere if you can go for it in the future. If you're brand new here and came at a lower tier anticipating future Buffyverse and don't want to just watch already available stuff, message me for a refund if you wish and I'll sort one for you.
Upping the prices was always a difficult thing for me to do (hence why I've been putting it off for 8 months lmao) but this has forced my hand.
Love you guys, see you for more soon.

You have always charged SIGNIFICANTLY less than other reactors for similar perks. Your content is well worth it, as are you, so don’t feel bad. Hang in there.

2020-07-06 03:20:11 +0000 UTCI'm happy to help as long as I can ^^ I'm staying! I truly hope your situation improves. Greetings from Spain!
Laura Navarro Díaz
2020-07-03 18:26:23 +0000 UTCYeah, you'll need to swap to the $5 tier but you dont have to do it until the next reaction is posted if you like. I think it should only charge the difference between your current tier and the $5 one when you switch
2020-07-01 21:31:17 +0000 UTCSo how will this work? Do I have to go and subscribe to the £5 tier to get buffy reactions in future? I payed for the lower tier today so just wondering how it’ll work or if I have to do anything ?

2020-07-01 20:22:32 +0000 UTCYou absolutely deserve more Liam, I'll definitely make sure to give more than 5 whenever i have extra cash.
leo
2020-07-01 17:05:51 +0000 UTCI upgraded to £10 as I feel I should pay more after being on the £2 tier for so long 😂
CeNedra
2020-07-01 10:21:43 +0000 UTCI upgraded to the $5 tier a while back because I felt you deserved more, will upgrade to the $10 soon if I can... buffy helped me when my dad passed away a few years ago, and your reactions and analysis makes me feel like I'm watching it again for the first time, so thank you so much for that ❤
2020-07-01 08:49:48 +0000 UTCI just got myself updated to the $5 tier. You're well worth it, Liam. Your content is always A+. Sorry about your situation. I hope my little part can help you.
Katherine Thoreson
2020-07-01 04:04:38 +0000 UTCYour analysis and thoughts are worth it! Will subscribe! 🥰 Can’t wait for your S6 reviews and S7 reactions!
Stephen Mintac
2020-06-30 19:33:32 +0000 UTCI updated to $5
Dutchkel
2020-06-30 16:44:23 +0000 UTCThis is worth 5$ or more for me. Hope you are okey and everything will settle down soon. wish you well
Victor Morin
2020-06-30 15:44:42 +0000 UTCUnderstood, the content is worth it. Upping this week!
Mary Kate
2020-06-30 13:57:53 +0000 UTCTalked to my partner & upping to $5, glad I'm currently secure enough to help. 💜
Raq Miller
2020-06-30 12:27:09 +0000 UTCI am definitely on board with the tier upgrade. I am so so sorry to hear about your current troubles. You’re such a sweetheart and deserve all good things.

2020-06-30 12:21:20 +0000 UTCSorry about your dad. I'll continue to support you at the $25 level - combined Patreon and YouTube support. And I'll be more patient in the future. Quality takes time ha ha!
Sherlyn
2020-06-30 11:11:04 +0000 UTCUnder the circumstances, and with the quality of output, this is perfectly fine. I hope that Patreon can make a big difference in helping you and your father out.
Zoot!
2020-06-30 10:14:44 +0000 UTCI always said you were worth more ☺️
CeNedra
2020-06-30 10:13:25 +0000 UTC$2 :)
2020-06-30 08:42:03 +0000 UTCJust to be sure what tier will once upon time reactions be at. I'm slightly confused?
Mya546
2020-06-30 08:41:28 +0000 UTCEverything I wanted to say has already been said, so I will keep this short. Your channel is bringing joy to a lot of people, do not feel bad about this decision. I personally feel it is worth it for me and people who cannot afford it will still have the youtube edits. Difficult decisions need to be made from time to time and I appreciate your thoughtful and humble approach. Good luck now and in the future.
2020-06-30 07:58:44 +0000 UTCI am so sorry your Dad lost his job, Liam, I can imagine how hard that must be right now, and upping your price is perfectly reasonable! Even if this situation hadn't happened many reactors charge more than you do, and you shouldn't feel bad at all. I'll still be here looking forward to the content you create! Your reactions always bring a smile to my face and I look forward to your humor and wit each week! :D
Chaotic Cam
2020-06-30 07:47:18 +0000 UTCAdding to UTU49, it's not just us who mention you in other reactors' comments, *other reactors* mention you. Shiny Antics is one who comes to mind. You are beloved by all. (He's ahead of you though, so don't look him up.)
Rachael
2020-06-30 07:08:06 +0000 UTCTier upgraded 👍🏻 Sorry about your current struggles, I hope you and your dad find a more permanent solution soon enough. “Interesting” times to live in for sure. I know you probably haven’t been feeling great about finally pulling the trigger, but just remember, whatever tier each of us can afford, we all support you, because you're great. Keep it up!

2020-06-30 06:32:47 +0000 UTCHello Liam. Thanks for offering the lower price as long as you did. It was a great distraction, especially in these times and very quality entertainment. I wish I had the funds to up my pledge to the new amount, but sadly, I don't qualify for any of the covid assistance and my clients dried up about 75% during the pandemic. I was holding onto my patreon pledges despite my severe lack of income at the moment because I didn't want to pull my support to anyone if possible, but I can't afford to increase at this time. I wish you the best and hope to catch up on your Buffy and Angel reactions later on if/when the money situation isn't what it currently is. Have a good one and keep doing what you do, cause it's awesome!

2020-06-30 06:17:45 +0000 UTCHey Liam. Your tiers have been very inexpensive relative to others. I went to your $5 tier a while ago, because I felt weird about donating $5/month to Van and Amber and Liam #2, when I enjoy your videos just as much. You and Ian (Passion of the Nerd) have been the only 2 YouTubers that I donate to NOT for your tier rewards, but just to support you, so from my perspective, you're special. :) You might not be aware of how many of us consider you one of our favourites. People mention you pretty often in the comments sections for other reactors' videos... when the topic of our favourite reactors comes up, or things like that.
UTU49
2020-06-30 05:55:06 +0000 UTCJust rejoined the $5 tier. We needed to reselect our tiers right? Or am I supporting you twice over? Lol. Glad I can support you still, though. Sorry about your Dad’s job loss, hopefully he finds something soon.
Bunny Norris
2020-06-30 05:33:53 +0000 UTCTbh you deserve it, $5 is definitely worth the amount of content you give us.
KT
2020-06-30 05:33:45 +0000 UTCI thought $3 was a crazy deal all along, more than fine with $5. Thanks, Liam, and hopefully all the changes in your life end up being for the best. 🤞

2020-06-30 05:24:25 +0000 UTCSorry to hear about your dad's job. I got you, Liam! 💜💜💜
Sisnerdly
2020-06-30 04:56:53 +0000 UTCHappy to pay the extra few bucks to help out. Your content is worth it , and so are you.
Claire Eyles
2020-06-30 04:52:09 +0000 UTCI am sorry about your father. I wish you both luck, and of course I understand you upping the prices. For your reactions for Once Upon a Time... completely worth it! :) Stay healthy, and be safe. Sincerely, Heidi
Heidi Elizabeth Marcum
2020-06-30 04:36:13 +0000 UTCExtra couple of bucks a month isn’t too much skin off my nose, it’s worth it IMO.
Arnold Kim
2020-06-30 03:58:51 +0000 UTCSorry to hear about your dad, Liam. I thought Buffyverse full reactions were already $5? Eh, maybe that's just the tier I signed up for and forgot the details. $5 is standard for full reactions (there are some reactors charging $10 which is too much imo), but I totally understand people who can't afford the new pricing, especially during an economical crisis that is going to get worse. I'm looking to drop some reactors myself (not you, of course, Liam!). Best wishes for everyone who is struggling; I hope things improve soon.
Rachael
2020-06-30 03:42:36 +0000 UTCA mere $2 was quite a bargain for the quality of reaction videos you put out each month, so I find myself nodding my head in agreement to read that you are raising the minimum pledge for your content.
Hef
2020-06-30 03:41:39 +0000 UTCYep. Okay. No prob.
Rob Z
2020-06-30 02:57:43 +0000 UTCCompletely reasonable. Your Buffy and Angel reactions / afterthoughts are the most thoughtful and insightful out there. Definitely worth the extra few bucks. Best of luck to you and your family.
2020-06-30 02:43:02 +0000 UTCGood question! I'll probably put that in the $2 tier
2020-06-30 02:33:44 +0000 UTCThank you 🙂
2020-06-30 02:33:07 +0000 UTCSorry to hear about the misfortunes, but hopefully you will be able to make it with the help of your patrons! I wish you the best & will join the $5 tier for now. Down the line I hope to be able to up pledges to the creators I follow, but I’ve got to stick to $5 for now. Sending good thoughts your way! Your reactions are sincerely my favorites because you’re very earnest & thoughtful, and you really talk about the show and your reading of things. Media critique for fun is something my closest friends and I have always done & you are one of the rare reactors who does so, but comes from a place of wanting to enjoy things & have fun, not trash talk.

2020-06-30 02:26:50 +0000 UTCI just dropped a couple of others, so I can make that bump.
FernWithy
2020-06-30 02:26:09 +0000 UTCNo worries mate. Will gladly up it to 5.
Chess Red Eagle
2020-06-30 02:23:26 +0000 UTCJust updated to $5! I love your content too much to miss out.
Kimberlee
2020-06-30 02:22:01 +0000 UTCNo worries, Liam. $5 is pretty much the standard for the creators I support. I wish your dad the best and will continue my support. Looking forward to the remainder of the Buffyverse stuff :)
Miah
2020-06-30 02:17:58 +0000 UTCNo problem! Make your money!
2020-06-30 02:09:50 +0000 UTCGotta do what you gotta do. Unfortunately, a 5x increase is a bit much for me, especially without a regular upload schedule... but I'll keep supporting at the $1 tier and watch the YT cuts when they come. Good luck brother.
Bisibia
2020-06-30 02:09:36 +0000 UTC👌🏻 I’ll stick around.
Koz
2020-06-30 02:06:38 +0000 UTCOh no, hope you’ll do better!! I notice you didn’t mention anything about OUAT, will this be impacted? Im here to stay and support ❤️
Miguelito
2020-06-30 02:05:36 +0000 UTCNo problem. ❤
Shaun Stacy
2020-06-30 02:04:16 +0000 UTCReally sorry to hear about your situation, bud, but please know you still have my support 100%. Watching your Buffyverse reactions truly makes my day, I get so excited every time I get a notification that there's a new post up. Keep doing what you're doing, I'm excited to keep supporting you.
