That's an interesting idea. I watch videos, and I don't mind videos that promote their Patreon page and/or other member exclusive benefits. They are free to make videos how ever they like, but I wonder is promoting member exclusive content actually undermines their success.
For example, in this SciShow video => https://youtu.be/fsS6d4byK4A?t=143 https://youtu.be/fsS6d4byK4A?t=143
- make free content, get free viewers
- promote Patreon to viewers, get patrons
- promote premium content to free viewers, alienate free viewers
- lose free viewers, shrink pool of potential patrons
I guess some pitches are more invasive than others.
- glandium 8y agoHere's a counter example: https://m.youtube.com/user/Dogen https://m.youtube.com/user/Dogen He does what could be described as stand up comedy around the japanese language. And his patreon has comprehensive japanese pronunciation and intonation lessons. https://www.patreon.com/dogen https://www.patreon.com/dogen They're different but related things with different but overlapping audience.
