About a week into the change, and it seems not as many have responded as would have been hoped.
But in all likelihood, it's more likely that people aren't noticing the change rather than not being inclined to supporting it per se. It was very low key & subtle, and I noticed it only in passing myself.
If there were to be an announcement about it in one of the Patreon updates, or maybe in a video... that could possibly make all the difference.

I also think that most of the fanbase who intended to support the patreon is already there, so most of the growth from now on will be at a more leisurely pace, as the show gets new viewers.
I just want to say that I'm really happy to support it, as Mark have been doing more exclusive stuff than I thought (in my tier, I thought it would be just the podcast, but he's also throwing in a few exclusive videos).

Dropped down to $10,374. Guessing it was some of those $100 pledges.

Anyone following Magnum Skywolf? The March wallpaper he gave out was freaking awesome!

Do you get to download the podcasts or do you have to listen to them on Patreon?

The latest one (about working on internet videos) was deeply personal and sincere, as Mark talked a lot about the frustrations that may appear when you have to depend on a service like Youtube - but also the good things, as he talked about how he hoped the Patreon model would benefit creators of more complex, edited content like himself.

I've still haven't got through that one since I've lost my earbuds, but I'm looking forward to it!

I think the Patreon is going to be under $10K by next month. It's only $68 away and the biggest drops are generally at the beginning of a month.

So anyone listened to the new podcast? I didn't get into it that much this time around since I'm only familiar with Gundam. But next month it'll be comics, and that'll be awesome! Other topics he could cover would be 80's action movies.

That's a bummer. Of course, a lot of people only meant to support for a few months. I hope the show can get more donators soon, as Mark is definitely working a lot to guarantee we get as much content as possible. Hey guys, if anyone isn't supporting the Patreon yet, consider doing it! The extra content is definitely worth it.

The podcasts themselves are worth 5 bucks. Can't wait for the next one.

Evidently it's holding steady at around 8.5K, has been for these past several months. Still in the 100K per year range though.
Have to admit, seeing him recreate the arcade, with the transparency of the entries on challenges he faces maintaining the business, as well as the general effort he puts into it - does sort of gradually rebuild trust in the guy...
He has still forsaken us though.
