If you're interested, I release videos privately on Patreon and through my YouTube membership program. Signing up gives you content more often and supports the channel. The YT program: youtube.com/channel/UC6FO-Up1-oLj5nNivCNHL-Q/join

I'm also starting to put out early, slightly rough main channel releases in both spots, and have a private Discord server linked to both spots.
