Hi everybody! I have 3 really exciting pieces of news. First, my Patreon campaign is at $5,400 per video. That means that for releasing this video, I'm getting a check in the mail for $5,400. From my patrons, from you guys. I can't tell you how grateful I am for your support. You swooped in and you made it happen, not just for me. And this is exciting piece of news number two: but we've had over 1,300 content creators sign up. We have tons of content creators making hundreds and hundreds of dollars per video, and we have a handful of creators making over a thousand dollars per video. And those numbers keep getting bigger. I am. Amazed by your generosity and your help. This brings me to exciting piece of news number 3. Last week, Patreon started fundraising. So far, we've raised just under $1 million. We're building a mobile app, we're hiring an engineer, I'm gonna be able to write my patrons on my phone. Now you might be asking, Jack, why am I your patron if you guys just raised almost $1 million? Let me make this very clear because that's a really great question. I will not be taking a salary from for running Patreon. My salary will be $0. The reason I'm doing this is because I want Patreon to be a company for content creators by content creators. I want creators to be the center and the reason and the focus for Patreon. And I think if I continue making my living as a content creator, I'll just naturally be focused on what's best for creators. Anyway, thank you guys. I unders— I get it that this is you guys that's making this happen. This is you. I am so appreciative and thankful for that. Thank you. If you like this video and this song, you can download the remix on iTunes and make sure to pick up concert tickets because I'm coming on tour this summer. The links are in the description and I will see you soon. I'm so excited. Goodbye.
