I will support you as soon as possible. Even if it's $1. I'm only a highschool student And that's the best I can do. Due to the exchange rate in my country.

I will be upfront i would pay 5/10 bucks once you know I would. I try to be supportive by word of mouth, and promoting your uploads... I dont hold anything you decide to do against you. Im just so appreciative for what you have given man.

Tbh, i would love to support you and other youtubers that i love... but i have a few issues that sustain me from doing that: 1. I don't have a credit card (you can wonder why, but the answer is simple, i just prefer not telling that here). 2. In my country, 1$ equates to 8 bucks (around there, and it increases almost every few months/years), so going a little over 15$ is a lot fo money to spend...

Hello everyone. This is an important channel update with both good and bad news for those interested.
• BAD NEWS: I am forced to slow down the rate at which I work on uploading albums for this channel. This might be surprising from your perspective—since I only upload them every 1-2 weeks—but behind the scenes, I have been spending 90% of my time working on getting these uploads into a state I am confident in. Of course, I enjoy doing this, or else I wouldn't do it at all, but that doesn't change that it's too much work for me alone, especially with minimal returns on my end (YouTube algorithm...). So, I will continue to work on 1st presses, but they will likely only be uploaded every 3-4 weeks instead, or sometimes a little longer than that (of course, I'll still upload them sooner if possible!).
• GOOD NEWS: There are more things I would like to do with this channel beyond just cataloging original releases, and if I can, I intend to dedicate more time to working toward these other ideas in exchange. This includes more content relating to the bands I upload, like guitar & vocal covers, guitar tone tutorials (with explanations as to why tones like Ride the Lightning and Rust in Peace sound the way that they do), and perhaps even straight-to-the-point guides on how to play songs that I cover, riff by riff, with complete accuracy.
—
I understand that not everybody will care about content beyond the original mix/masters, and that's okay! I just hope those who are interested will be able to find this channel and benefit from what I want to do here.
Beyond all this, I would like to ask: how many people would be interested in supporting my efforts here on the channel through websites Patreon, Ko-fi, etc? I am expecting the percentage to be exceptionally low, but understanding how many people would participate in correlation to the channel's current size is helpful for the future, at the very least. I receive no monetization from the album uploads, nor do I even want ads on them, so a separate donation pool for those consenting & willing could be nice.
Thanks for reading this, and have a good one.
