New End Card

Added 2020-01-05 18:25:59 +0000 UTC

I've needed to change the way I do the end card/patron shout outs at the end of a video since my channel took off a year ago. But every month when it came time to do it, I didn't have enough time to re-invent the wheel and just kept using the one I had, which was an absolute pain.

Most creators just copy/paste their entire patron list into their videos, which is clearly the smarter move. I was hand-typing every person, changing the size, color, and spacing for each name, trying to figure out what order to put everyone in... this person is a new $20, but has been a $5 for six months, so are they at the start of the list? The end? That, along with going back to remove names when people ended their pledge, was just too much and added an extra hour or two to the editing process.

So here we are, a much more simplified, cleaner look. This list should be up-to-date as of today, if you recall, only $10+ patrons get their name in every end card, with each tier above that getting a larger font size. I decided to do away with color changes. Patreon automatically sorts by newest/highest first, and in the interest of simplicity, I'm going to leave it that way. I had been doing oldest first until now.

Please check the list to make sure it's accurate for what you want it to say (or not say).
- I will continue to abbreviate your last names, unless you're using a username.
- Let me know if you'd rather use a username or don't want your name listed at all.

To make it easier on me, if you don't want to be listed at all, the best way to make sure you never accidentally get on the list is to switch to the "No Tier/Reward" option. You can also change your Patreon name to a username. I will still try to accommodate your requests, but please keep in mind that mistakes will occasionally happen when I'm dealing with this many patrons.
