Or the rewards... "You will become an official producer of the Easy Allies podcast. Your name will be included in the credits of the show and Brandon will mention you, by name, at the end of one episode a month. You’ll also qualify for all earlier rewards." well, he'll soon have 200 people to mention..

That's the $500 tier.
How many of their fans do you honestly think have that kind of cash to spend every month on gaming focused streams and youtube videos?

Hell I hope they get those 200 guys. I can just skip the first 5 minutes of their videos and that would give them a core income of $100.000 every month

EDIT:
Nevermind. I read that wrong and got it confused with the $500 tier

Just wondering why they haven't changed their YT channel name yet (and gotten a custom url). As far as I'm aware they meet the requirements. Channel is older than 30 days (started feb 10). They have more than a 100 subscribers (9k already). Account is in good standing. Have a channel icon and channel art. "eza" and "easyallies" urls are not taken.

unless YT may need the subscribers to hold a certain amount of time before opening that feature up to them.

No, that's the $25 tier.

500 is:

At this level, you’ll become an official sponsor of our streams and shows. Your name, or company name, will be read aloud during every episode of our podcast, and frequently during our other shows. Certain restrictions apply, obviously. You’ll also qualify for all earlier rewards.

While Kyle is the reason I would consider supporting this, I'm...kind of not okay with a lower production Bosman show. The bonus bits and lore were the best thing about Final Bosman.

I get that the same level of production isn't feasible with their independent structure, but the spirit of Final Bosman has to remain alive!

I'm physically incapable of reading EZA as Easy-A due to being a lifetime subject of the Queen's English. Zed is zed!

I'm really hoping it hits $20k before they start streaming. Interestingly, the Twitch page has a sub button now, and I believe it's the very first time that a Twitch streamer has a sub button before ever running a single stream.

Oh right. Got them confused.
Yeah that is kinda silly.

With 200 not so much. With 2 podcasts a week that's 8 in a month so that's like saying 25 names at the end of the episode (it says you will get mentioned once a month).

But looking at it from an optimistic point of view. It would get silly if they ever have like 500 people in that tier

I think this is because they didn't know what was going to be the response over their patreon and they set a few expectations a little low for the beginning. It should get better in no time.

Will support soon. As a fellow website runner and content creator, these were always my goto guys for entertainment. Always up for supporting those I enjoy. Good luck to the crew and I can't wait for the podcast to hit.

I go to sleep and I wake up with them having almost 10k more than before. Awesome stuff. I'm so glad they're getting all this love. Can't wait for the stream. Hopefully they post it to youtube later.

Did we get a confirmation on that? Wasn't sure if the second podcast was going to be weekly or monthly.

It's nice that reviews are coming back, I honestly didn't think they'd get that must that fast. But that's what happens when you believe I guess!

Why is Americans always so backwards with everything. Over there the Republicans are Red and the Democrats are blue.

Everywhere else it's the other way around. Socialism and the left is red and conservatism and the right is blue.

Blue bloods, nobility all that jazz.

Anyway it's a bit Off topic.


But on topic, I don't get at all how people think about the money.

20K is like 40% of a years pay for most middle class people, to get that monthly isn't a small sum.

Probably because we switched in the middle of the 20th century.

Its a nice chunk of change but still nothing to support 7 people, especially in California.

They have a great start and should do well if they pace themselves as a part time gig for now. Long term it could grow to something more.

Donated my $5, I'll see how long I can keep that up.

So how does this work for Patrons? Exclusive shows, early podcast, and getting to participate in polls. Are links going to be emailed to me or what?

You will get an email every time they post something on their Patreon wall (which includes the podcasts and exclusive shows of course).

Im guessing they'll be relying heavily on twitch for most of their stuff since its easy. Not a fan of watch people play games so ill pass on their twitch streams but i subbed to the youtube channel! Cant wait for the actual good stuff to start showing up

Well obviously not enough for so many people, but as you said with additional revenue it should be a solid base.

Patreon alone should be a good paycheck for 3- 4 people, if that was the case

I just remembered this was happening today and was caught totally by surprise! When I get home, I'll examine my finances and pledge my first patron ever! Soooo close to Damiani's show right now. Super hype!
