Patreon Relaunch Coming Soon (Do you have feedback?)

Hey everybody! We need your feedback – in the next two to three months we’ll relaunch this Patreon, which means there will be new perks, new rewards and a redesign (all of you will have access to the new rewards too!).

And we’ll do a new Patreon video ( in which we show how a video is made and explain why it takes us so long to make them and why Patreon is crucial for us in keeping the channel alive).


So before we relaunch: How do you like it right now? Are you happy with the perks? Is there something you would like us to offer to you? Do you think your perk is not as good as you hopped? Is something too expensive or too cheap (birds for example will probably get a little more expensive because ironically „too many people“ are ordering them nowadays).


If there is anything you would like us to know before we change everything, we’d really appreciate it and will read every comment. Feel free to email us at patreon@kurzgesagt.org or write here in the comment section. Thank you!

I just want to know , do we have to register again as a patron?

Arjun Iyer

Maybe you could give patrons special behind the scenes updates more often (How you make videos, What you are up to etc., Special IRL Video about your crew and studio etc.) Other than that your rewards are awesome and I love the channel. :)

Jake Wood

I think the opposite, as payment per video would encourage them to make videos quicker, resulting in less time per video and either loss in quality or content. I like the length of the videos, and that they have the freedom to publish a video when they are satisfied with the result, not when they need more money :-)

I would rather give money per video than per month. A month doesn't guarantee the release of a video or multiple videos, but I am supporting the team in respect to the work which can be measured in videos completed. So I'd be happy to give MORE by simply giving per video, automatically via Patreon. Please consider.

I like Kurzgesagt perks already, but it would be better if patrons could have exclusives and earlier access to the videos that are made. Other than that, your perks are great. Keep up the good work!

If you're looking for more perks, here's a suggestion. Have a custom avatar for perks over 7$

Ori marash

I adore your videos and want only for you to keep making more of them at the high quality at which you excel. Perks, shmerks :)

I'm very satisfied with your video, am happy with the perks (the 2$ perk is a hoot!). I didn't pledge for the perks, though. You don't need to offer anything but please keep up your good work :-)

Sidse Dahlin

I wouldn't want to put anything on you that could potentially distract you from working on your awesome content. However, a making of would really interest me. But treat it as a goodie at the end of the year or something. Do it when you have time, don't beat yourself up if you can't make the "deadline you set yourself. As for the perks, I take part here to support you, that's my reward!

Kay Brinkmann

I'm with the others about supporting in any way we can. However if there is an option for wallpapers, I still have the universe on my phone as a wallpaper so... more of them?

+1 for not really caring about the perks, lol. I support the channel (albeit only in a small way) because the content is awesome, not because of the perks :-)

I don't care about the perks. I love your videos. If they get too big, either cut them down or split them up. Taking a long time is OK with me.

I don't really care about making-of videos or anything. I'd rather you spend the time you'd spend on that on making actual videos instead.

Marconius

Wow!! I can't wait to see these new perks and learn how to make my own videos! I already have some experience in Adobe Premiere, but any information or insight is always welcome! Especially when it comes to editing techniques!! :D

I'm not interested in physical perks related to pledges. I want all the money to go towards making the video and paying the workers. Putting my name in the video description is cool though. If I were you guys I'd still sell the merchandise, but at a very small profit margin. Why? The more merchandise out there means better advertising.

I am more than happy with what you have now, and it's an honor to support you all. For a perk improvement: please consider adding some older wallpapers like "Is war over". Your animations are amazing.

I'm not here for the perks. I'm here to support you. The real perk that I get is the result of your great work with every video.

Razvan Caliman

Yeah me too, Im here for the videos and to support you guys

Same as others - I am not here for perks, I donate what I can afford to support the videos.

I am only hear for the videos which are always fantastic. Perks and that stuff I ha net even looked

Like many others here I'm a supporter because of your amazing videos. I don't really care what the Patreon perks are; I give what I can and when my income goes up so will my donation. Also, I hate to see you guys stressing so much about the time between videos. I understand that it's ideal to put out content on a predictable basis, but don't kill yourselves, the quality speaks for itself and justifies the wait between releases.

Greg

I just wanted to add my voice: the perks are not what I care about. The videos are what I support you for. Keep making the videos please.

Eric Jensen

Like lots of others here, I don't care about perks. I just want to support you so you can continue making excellent videos. Keep up the good work.

Not related to the actual patreon system, but I really like it when creators post lots of updates, kind of like a blog, so it would be great if you guys could post a little more often (about anything, what you're working on, what's going on in your city, etc.)

I dont care about the rewards. I just want to support you ^^

Nils

Like many other I'm not realy a perk person, I give as much as I can offer for a patreon and I just want you to make as much video as want. But for me one of the possible ultimate perk could to ask you a question you will answer in a video.

I'm happy with the way you are operating now. Keep it simple - great videos - little perks are fine - don't overextend yourselves

I look forward to seeing a behind the scenes and meeting the creators, but I don't need any special perks, I just contribute to help out.

I contribute because of the informative material and excellent presentation, not because of perks. Getting updates on what's coming is nice. Other than that, I can't think of anything worth adding.

Mike Fuchs

I contribute with just a couple of euros, but I can't afford more. The most interesting feature is your videos, I don't get tired of them, but I understand it takes a lot of work to keep making them. As long as you keep doing them (let's hope they don't take too many months of work) I'll be happy. Though I would like to see the next chapter of several videos, like the one about black holes, red dwarves, etc. Astrophysics, planetology, and even transhumanism or biology are my favourite fields, but I enjoyed every single video of yours (ones more than others, obviously)

Arkonor

I'm perfectly content with no perks at all. I just like to contribute. This is one of the best Youtube channels on the internet, and being a (very tiny) part of it, is already enough.

Hi. I'm very happy with no perks and just more great videos. Your videos are some of the best on Youtube, in my most humble opinion. I really think you guys should be less shy about posting additional 'meta' videos on introducing your staff, 'making of' videos, vlogs, and facility (if you have one) walkthroughs. Don't be afraid to try to do additional monetization videos like this which are *much* easier to produce. If it eventually leads to more staff and, therefore, more 'In a Nutshell" videos, I'd be very pleased to watch them, ads and all. Another idea might be to place these videos on a secondary youtube channel to avoid clogging up the main channel. Just my two cents worth of ideas. Keep up the great work!

I'm happy with it all as long as there are videos that you are happy with :)

How about a relatively costly one-time perk ($100?) to create a bird, and a cheaper perk ($10?) to continue to remain on the list of "active" birds which will be featured in videos? This would hopefully capture the work required to create them while encouraging people to keep contributing after they get their bird. Hopefully existing birds get grandfathered in to the active list. :-)

Steve Bonds

I want you guys to continue making videos. Whatever is easiest/best for that gets my support. All the rests (perks included) are just gravy.

@Osric@Terberlo.dog

I'm one of the "not big on perks" people, though other video creators who release a day early as a perk is often nice because I can offer a comment before the youtube comment hoards show up to try and ruin everything lol.

Jesse Thompson

I'm one of the "not big on perks" people, though other video creators who release a day early as a perk is often nice because I can offer a comment before the youtube comment hoards show up to try and ruin everything lol. So does "relaunch" mean we all have to sign back up again or anything? :o

Jesse Thompson

I care little about the perks. I'm here for the video you make every month, and I'm paying for that.

Zageron

How much are you donating?

My favorite perk for patrons is a private livestream - a chance to chat with you guys (and my fellow patrons) about the videos and what comes next.

Richard Campbell

I love the perks, but I've been a Patron since March, and I still haven't gotten my name in the description.

Jason Zhang

My only concern is that I have not received my bird yet and will I still get it when the perks are renewed. But anyways I love everything you have made and I will continue to support the channel, bird or no bird.

I absolutely adore the wallpapers, I haven't used a non-kurzgesagt wallpaper since I became a patron. I hope those are still available!

Cory Hammerschlag

The background images rock :)

For me personally, the only perk I care about is that I get to see more Kurzgesagt videos in the future! :) I recently had to scale down my Patreon portfolio but you guys have immunity. :)

I've been having trouble finding the perks, particularly the music since Bees. The perks are of the highest quality (I use the backgrounds everywhere, and I listen to the music while doing things), but I don't know how to get the new ones.

dm_nimbus

Something that I really like whith Captain Disillusion is a one day early access to his video which is enough to me :)
