One of those months
Added 2018-07-25 01:01:23 +0000 UTCI figure I'll let you know since I want to be transparent. Last month I put a ton of work into my NoClash videos, and after publishing them, they're my worst-performing videos in ages in terms of view count, and my views aren't generally great as it is. That alongside a couple other issues has got me feeling pretty burned out. Uninspired, demotivated, kind of a mental block. So instead of my usual three or four videos per month, by the end of this month I plan to get two videos up here: My final NoClash video (the part 2), and Hovind 12. Next month I'll bring it back up to normal. But this is why I have it set to per-video.

2018-08-14 22:46:28 +0000 UTCThe Patreon viewers aren't enough to sway the ad revenue. I'm honestly not sure if unlisted views impact me in the algorithm. I suspect not too much.

2018-08-01 04:01:09 +0000 UTCThis makes me have a question because i don't know how it works. Since I've become a patreon I've pretty much stopped watching your videos on youtube because they come up here a couple days early. My question is do you miss out on ad dollars because of this? I don't want you to lose money or have your numbers thrown off just because I (and probably alot of others) want to watch your videos a couple days early. The reason I think of this is because i really liked the no clash videos and it makes me a little upset that they aren't doing well and i figure hey every little bit helps. Anyways thanks for all you great videos and keep it up!

2018-07-26 23:37:12 +0000 UTCToo bad the No-Clash videos aren't really working out, I found their blatantly absurd interpretations of the Quran a breath of fresh air. But you do what you've got to do man. Keep making videos and I'll keep watching them!

2018-07-26 04:01:35 +0000 UTCI loved the content the production value was great. My thoughts are that there is less viewing in the summer esspecially in July. I have less down time since people like me get to see the sun. Should mention I live in MN 3 months of sun, or so it seems. I've raised my donations this month just because. Mental blocks hit us all, it's expected. So stop ya belly aching thangs always gwt bedder, Ya dern tootin.

2018-07-25 19:07:46 +0000 UTCI think another Kent Hovind will probably boost them views.

2018-07-25 16:31:25 +0000 UTCI think the other patrons covered it well. I too love watching you just make mince meat of stupid harmful people and thier beliefs. While maybe viewership was down I'll go out on a limb and say you probably did t lose many of any of us patrons. We love you! I don't expect to like every single thing you put out. But I'm still a huge fan regardless and this patron ain't going nowhere.

2018-07-25 12:57:24 +0000 UTCDon't let it get to ya, man. There's always gonna be dips and peaks in views and interest may go down for a while. The internet is a funny place that way. But I'm quite sure that if you keep at it, numbers will soar back up again. I watch every video and appreciate them all.

2018-07-25 10:15:45 +0000 UTCI'm sorry to hear that you are feeling a bit uninspired at the moment. It must be very difficult finding videos that both interest and motivate you and keep your view count up. Do whatever you need to do to feel that creative impulse again, meanwhile, please know that your patrons appreciate your insightful, entertaining content.

2018-07-25 08:07:04 +0000 UTCWhile I enjoyed the NoClash videos, as I'm always interested in learning precisely what idiotic things other people believe in the name of religion, they just didn't have the same magic to me as some of your older stuff. In particular I really enjoy your series on John Pendleton and Kent Hovind. Maybe it's because I grew up in the Bible Belt and don't have a lot of connection with Islam but the Islamist stuff just doesn't really resonate with me as much. It's kind of alt-universe Christianity to me, most of the same content but with some different takes on the same messages. The crap that Hovind spouts is stuff I grew up hearing and I'd already become an atheist by the time I was 10 because of how absurd and illogical it is, so having someone far more eloquent than I demolish it is quite entertaining to me. Real happy to see you keep going with that series! Either way, I'll watch all your content so do whatever you enjoy, man!

2018-07-25 02:52:35 +0000 UTCNo worries man. Take a breather if ya need one. I'm thrilled for the next Hovind vid. NoClash isn't my favorite, but I've watched them all and plan to watch the next one.

2018-07-25 02:49:37 +0000 UTCI love your videos! Even ones that aren't religiously-oriented. Personally, I have just been super busy with irl stuff and haven't been watching much content online. I'll definitely get to it, though!!

2018-07-25 02:21:40 +0000 UTCBro, for the record, I really enjoyed those videos. One suggestion I have is maybe tackle some flat/dome Earth creationists. It would be both fun to pick apart their ad-hoc nonsense explanations AND useful to humanity as a whole, as it seems that more and more people are taking this flat-earth shit seriously.

2018-07-25 01:45:58 +0000 UTCGotta agree with above - attack dumb arguments wherever you find them not just in religion.

2018-07-25 01:44:56 +0000 UTCYou do what you need to man. Completely understand. I can understand why you feel down about those videos not preforming well since you obviously out a lot of effort into them. I'll admit, I wasn't really interested in watching them myself. For me personally its that the "The Bible/Quran has scientific truths!" stuff while ridiculous they don't really feel all that important to address. It's kind of like the Padres videos. They're great for a change of pace, but not really worth 4 videos covering them in depth. I've heard you mention in your videos more than once that you're here to entertain us. Well, for me, what I find most entertaining is watching you intellectually thrash harmful AND bad arguments. Emphasis on both of those. For example, the stuff the young earthers teach is damaging to the scientific literacy of children which has far reaching implications beyond this one argument. It's important to challenge as well stupid. That's my two cents at any rate. No idea if anyone feels the same. Still a happy patron and looking forward to your next videos.

2018-07-25 01:31:15 +0000 UTCDude, just do whatever makes you happy. One suggestion, go back to your roots. The Logicked that we all fell in love with. They were simpler and happier times.

2018-07-25 01:20:56 +0000 UTCI agree with the others. I wish I could be as engaging and thought-provoking as you when I'm uninspired.

2018-07-25 01:15:31 +0000 UTCLogicked. You make people think. People don't like to think. All the more reason to put quality content up online.

2018-07-25 01:13:40 +0000 UTCI'm sorry you are going through that man. Do what you got to do to get your reptoid-demon groove back. Personally, your NoClash stuff is one of my favorite series you've done. ^^ Let us know how we can be supportive. Proud to be a Patron! ♡

2018-07-25 01:07:42 +0000 UTCDon't sweat it, big guy. If any of US care, I'll pay an extra dollar/month for them to stfu about it.
