1 Year Later: How Patreon Has Grown Digging The Greats
Added 2024-12-10 16:30:03 +0000 UTCIt's officially been 1 year here on the Digging The Greats Patreon! I am so grateful to each and every one of you! Today I've got a few things to share with you, specifically
How Patreon has been after 1 year
Reviewing 2024 and what YOU made possible
Looking forward to 2025 and what's coming
A few tweaks to the tiers*
A new "Executive Producer" tier**
_________________________
Of course I want you to watch the video, mainly so I can tell you thank you, but there are 2 things I want to make sure you see:
*Tweaks to the tiers
The Break Room will be changing slightly: instead of once a month Patreon exclusive, it'll be once every 2-3, publicly on YouTube. I explain this in the video, but this will allow for more people, a great vibe, and a better set from me
The Beat Battles: I'm not gonna say they're completely over, but I'm rolling them back a bit in order to focus on other things and where DTG is headed (more in the video)
** Executive Producer Tier
I've had multiple people ask if I'd make a higher priced tier, simply because they want to support DTG even more than the producer tier - so today I'm announcing the "Executive Producer" Tier - which is the same as the Producer, but with a price of $50/mo - this also comes with a thank you in the Caption of every YouTube video while you're in the tier.
I know, seems crazy, and maybe it is! But the option is there along with the other tiers.
_________________________
Please check out the video above, again, mainly so that I can say thank you as directly as possible. This has been an incredible year, and I am so excited for 2025!
If you're in the free tier, take a look at the Kick It Tier - you'll get extended videos that don't have ads, as well as behind the scenes content, and your direct support means the WORLD to me.
If you're in a paid tier - thank you so much! Your direct support made a lot of things possible this year!
Lastly - keep an eye out for a very big video coming before the end of the year. It's been brewing for a WHILE and I can't wait to share it with you, and of course, you'll get the extended version here on Patreon (along with a bts video to go along with it)

2024-12-16 03:23:38 +0000 UTCI've been a fan from your 3th video on YouTube. And subscribe from day 1. Love everything you have put here and still my personal favorite is the "Drop" by Pharcyde explain video. I just missed out on the last month or two paying, but I'm back to support this great place again.

2024-12-13 20:36:19 +0000 UTCI want to thank you and your team for the musical experience tour. Hearing more small and big facts about a variety of artists and groups. The records and their stories behind and around them. I feel so good about that. The music then gets even more depth and meaning for me. Wonderful. Keep it up. Keep sending, researching, sharing, growing, motivating, stimulating, experiencing and much more. Thank you for the enrichment you give to the religion called music. With musical greetings, Jeroen van Eck.

2024-12-13 16:53:51 +0000 UTCLike someone else said, you are my one and only Patreon. I came because I love the education and wanted the uncut versions. I paid because of the downloadable producer pack stuff. Was super intrigued by the beat battles, and can’t wait for the next one. As a totally blind creator, I’m Happy to support your vision for the future.

2024-12-12 11:52:34 +0000 UTCThe MF DOOM Patreon cut was the video that made me think “these YouTube plebs don’t know what they’re missing” Love the personality and authenticity in this. Happy to continue to support your journey

2024-12-11 16:32:40 +0000 UTCHere's to another year of you and the team bring me new insights. As a long term guitarist/rocker wanting to know more, having this kind of passionate in-depth guide is an amazing resource. Side note: My Spotify year in review was basically DTG because I have the playlists as background music for all my English classes while I teach at Uni here in Japan. Gotta introduce the kids to real music ;)

Brandon Shaw
2024-12-10 20:23:56 +0000 UTCI can’t believe it’s been a year already 🤯 I’ve been a paid Patreon follower for many content creators, but they are seldomly worthy of continued support. But maaaaan I’m so glad I’m able to support you and the DTG project, totally worth my money, and seeing how you’re using that support has been amazing. Keep it coming man, and Netflix please give this man your $$$

2024-12-10 19:21:15 +0000 UTCMan, didn't realize I missed April '22 - May '23 when I sub'd at YouTube. The high, high quality of your work is unique in this era, Brandon. I'll paste, again, this YouTube comment from demar.9K that says it best: "@demar.9k 2 years ago i can’t express how much i love this channel" Wishing you and yours the best of health and prosperity as you see fit, in the coming New Year, with your most excellent of endeavors and work, Brandon!

2024-12-10 17:05:38 +0000 UTC👍🏾👍🏾 ....wait...that was Charlie Brown? I thought that was YOU!!! 🤣🤣🤣❤️ I keep editing this thing, but this will be it, I promise!!! BShaw, you have turned DTG into an amazing experience! And I'm so glad to be able to support it, because I'm getting so much value from it! I still wish there was a way to give one-time gifts (buy you some cups of coffee perhaps? lol), but I'm loving everything you're doing. You're putting your heart and soul into this and it shows! Next year will be a natural blast! 🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳
