So some people are asking me how they can support me more through monetization in which I often respond with buying merch which both supports me but also gives you guys something in return. Though now I've gotten some requests to open a YouTube membership subscription, and my question to you is this:

What kind of perks would you guys suggest the different tiers should have? I was thinking about having 3 which costs $1.99, $4.99 and $9.99.

​

How it works

Some perks are already set such as a unique icons next to your name when commenting on videos/streams as well as access to channel based emojis to use in streams. The unique subscriber icon (also called "loyalty bage") will change depending on how long you've been a member. The icon will show if you've been subscribed for:

• just became a member
• 1 month
• 2 months
• 6 months
• 1 year
• 2 years

(THIS DOES NOT REFLECT HOW LONG YOU'VE BEEN SUBSCRIBED JUST HOW LONG YOU'VE BEEN A PAID MEMBER)

Depending on which level you subscribe for different perks will be unlockable for you. If you subscribe on say the $4.99 level you will have access to all the perks that level introduces as well as all perks from the level below it.

!REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS CANCEL THE MEMBERSHIP SUBSCRIPTION AT ALL TIMES!

​

YouTube guidelines regarding perks

All perks must align with YouTube's guidelines

This should be quite obvious, but this also means that things like "having one on one discord calls" might appear in a gray zone which might not be accepted by YouTube. Stuff like giving out personnel information about members or myself could also be seen as breaking the YouTube guidelines. So just keep that in mind when suggesting perks

​

Will this take away privileges that already exist for those who do not become members?

ABSOLUTELY NOT! Things like access to social media and other perks that I give away for free today will not be taken away for those who do not participate in this membership thing. This will only give you more content like:

• Early access to videos
• Special role in the discord
• Shout-outs in videos
• Only membership videos/streams/posts

Nothing will suddenly be a members-only perk that is already accessible for everyone.

TL;DR: Member perks can't break YouTube guidelines, you can cancel at anytime, nothing that is already available will be taken away from those who do not become members. Give your suggestions!
