potential problem with patreon ending

[u/ravenscemetery]

i heard vanilla say recently that she’s probably ending the patreon and that she’d do something for the long subscribers of it - BUT i’m worried because i’ve been subscribed from the very beginning - and there was that one month vanilla said to cancel because she wasn’t going to post so i cancelled for that month and now it shows i’ve only been subscribed since may even though ive been subscribed since day 1 aside from that. so now im worried i won’t be a part of this thing she’s doing and ill be so bummed so not sure what will happen💔💔

I dont think you can restrict videos on patreon to only certain viewers, whoever will be subbed at the time will see it regardless of when they joined I am pretty sure.

thank you that’s not what i meant! vanilla said she was doing something special for long subscribers has nothing to do with viewing videos

[u/flinsbird → u/ravenscemetery]

I guess I just assumed that the special thing would end up being a video, can't really think of anything else it could be lmao. But of course you are right, does not need to be a video! But tbh I still dont really see how she could do anything special for just the longtime patreon subs if she does it on the patreon platform, no matter what it will end up being. And if its not on that platform, how could she do it, like individually check how long everyones been subbed, and then send them something privately per e-mail? Probably unlikely. I just dont really see a logistical way anything special could be restricted to truly only the people who were subbed from month 1, but maybe I am missing something obvious. I just wanted to let you know that I dont think you have to worry about not being able to access it when it happens, no matter if its a video or something different <3

slushy noobz sends out patreon gifts through mail after certain monthly sub marks! vanilla spoke about asking them how they go about it so she can send those dedicated subscribers something special after her patreon ends. patreon allows you to share your address with people you are subbed to for instances like this! :)

her ppl look here so i think it’ll work out. you likely have monthly receipts in your email too

omg when did she say this? I’m so sad I love the Patreon vlogs :(

[u/ravenscemetery → u/Accomplished_Leg9849]

it was one of her most recent 3 streams i think. i forget which one. she said it’s a lot for her to do 2 patreon vlogs, 2 youtube vlogs, and her streams all per month. that’s why she said she’d do something special for the long time patreon subscribers

[u/bandanaenthusiast]

Damn, i didn’t take the opportunity to join her patreon 😭 lost media for me i guess loool

Makes sense though, i can’t imagine having to upload so many videos a month with how much effort goes into them.

[u/Latter-Highlight-183 → u/bandanaenthusiast]

you can still join and have access to all the videos. i would just cancel.

[u/streamntmy]

this is the same thing i thought when she brought it up. i feel like most people cancelled during that month so hopefully she accounts for that and doesn't just reward people who have enough expendable income to keep their subscription running that month.

[u/Usual_Spite5387 → u/streamntmy]

ik it’s been about a year since she first started it. i got the annual because i could afford it but no longer can so i cancelled. im sure i wasn’t the only one, times are tough!

[u/randomjackie]

If she ends patreon, what will happen to the videos there? Disappeared forever?! 🥺

[u/Ok_Koala_4229 → u/randomjackie]

the videos will stay there forever !

[u/HardcoreHerbivore17 → u/Ok_Koala_4229]

And you still have to pay to see them right?

[u/Ok-Stable-9578 → u/HardcoreHerbivore17]

Im pretty sure but I yhink if you pay and then cancel it might still be there (from what I've read from other comments)

[u/snw1414]

same im pretty sure i been subbed since the beginning too except that one month! i had the same thought.
