There's been a big change for the channel since we last released a video: we now have the option for channel memberships! This recurring support is similar to our offerings on Patreon, now with the convenience of not having to leave the YouTube platform.
Patreon is still the better choice - the support levels are more affordable, they get a few extra perks, and more of your support comes directly to the channel. But here on YouTube, channel members get these cool new emojis I stayed up an entire night making (see pinned comment below). They also get a cool little symbol beside their username when they comment. This upgrades over time to show how long members have been supporting us, and each version is based on a design similar to that first emoji.
And for those of you that want to help the channel, but don't want to commit to a monthly membership, you can now hit the "Thanks!" button on any video and support us with a one time gift.
Don't worry - nothing is going away from the channel with these changes. The regular Archives and Sightlines videos will still be available for everyone, and will be releasing on the same schedule as always (at least through October). Members will just be getting some added benefits, like access to exclusive videos, behinds the scenes updates, weird stories we find during research that don't really fit in videos, Q&As, and a bunch of other stuff (most of which were already available to the Patreon crew).
New episode of the Knott's series drops this Friday, but it's been available for Members for several days already.
