I have been waiting for the next instalment for a while, as have we all, and now it crescendos with the surprise reveal. But I do have one question? What made you decide to make this audio a Patreon exclusive? I am both convinced and genuinely curious.
Here's the deep dive: I've been working on ways to make the Patreon more appealing to my listeners for a long time. I couldn't make these audios or run this channel without the support of my patrons, but at present, only about one half of one percent of my youtube subscribers are patrons. That's a pretty tiny percentage. I do polls once in a while here on youtube to see what would entice free listeners to become patrons, and the overwhelming response is always "patron exclusive content." To that end, I've started putting one audio per week on Patreon and one on RU-vid, but even then, it didn't really seem to matter to people. I realized that the only way anyone would care about the patron content was if I brought back some characters I haven't used in a while and made the content with them. That way, listeners would have some idea of what they were getting if they supported me because they already know the characters. Obviously I couldn't do that with the vampire roommate or some of the other more long-term characters - as frustrating as it is, some listeners get VERY entitled and upset if they can't have every hour of that content for free. So I thought bringing Medusa back would be a good way to expand her story, give the patrons something juicy, and encourage youtube listeners to take the plunge into joining Patreon. Eventually, the patron-only audios will become public, but since I make four of them a month and only release one a month to RU-vid, that means it'll be a while. So if people REALLY don't want to support, they can be very patient and get the content someday. But my goal is to help people feel like they're getting some real value for supporting me. My Patreon has a ton of perks, everything from Discord hangouts with me to early access to one-on-one calls for some patrons, but in the end, if content is what people want, then I have to create content that will make people go "oh yeah, I wanna hear that," and be willing to join the community. I know $5/month can add up if people are trying to support a lot of creators, so for me, it's a matter of upping the appeal and helping patrons feel like they get a LOT for their $5. I hope that makes sense! Thanks for your question :)
Not spicy, and RU-vid doesn't have length limits that affect audio roleplays. This is a preview because the full audio is available to patrons on Patreon. Please see my other reply in these comments if you'd like the full explanation! :)
