Thinking Basketball

Hey Everyone! So we've added content this year for members who want even more breakdowns than our usual videos. Here's the rundown:

-Our normal content will run throughout the season on this channel and on the NBA's channel for everyone per usual. (The only difference might be Enhanced Podcasts – I'm not sure what will happen with them yet this year.)

-Speaking of the podcast, for $2/month watch and interact with us as we record LIVE. We try to take at least 1 audience question every episode and the live comments during shows often make their way into the episode, which has been really fun for us.

-For $5/month get all of our EXTRA video content this year as a YouTube Member. Our Great Games series focuses on the best 2-3 games a month between playoff teams. We also have bonus chapters tacked on to videos. (eg a bonus chapter on Franz's defense at the end of his offensive analysis.) And sometimes we just have spinoff content from a video, like an extra on the Lakers defending the new Memphis offense. And whenever we finish a video, you'll get an early release if we don't publish it right away.

-For $10/month Patreon subscribers get all extra video and all stats (Patreon.com/thinkingbasketball). This is our “everything” tier, with access to our historical and in-season stats, community, and all of our video content . (“Everything” but the live podcast)

All member content is ad free, and we'll have the same Patreon tiers for stat-heads and our community per usual. Member support like this has been a huge part of allowing us to grow and make more content over the years, and we're hoping to expand that in the 2025 season. Thanks as always for your support, and if you sign up, we hope you enjoy the new content. 🙏 -Ben

Thank you for listening to the feedback and communicating this all clearly. You’re the best basketball channel out.

Appreciate the explanation, the communication on the YouTube membership lacked some clarity up to this point imo. I won't be going for any of the paid options and hope that the content available to us non-paying viewers won't change in frequency and length.

Thanks for listening to us Ben! $10 is much more reasonable and as I’ve observed you’re bumping up the content rate esp. the vids. Keep it up!

Just take sponsors instead, no one watches the sponsored ads in the videos anyways, we skip the 30 seconds and you get your money, it’s a win win

So will the "normal" content available to everyone be more videos cut in half and then put behind a pay wall?
