Where Your Patreon Money Goes

If I win the lottery, you bet your arse I'm doing that for a few months!

It's this kind or transparency that makes that Nerdcubed (& Company) is the only "YouTuber" I support financially. Thanks for the update Matt and keep up the good work everyone.

Just an idea, but what if you made blueprints/instructions for the things created in the Builds series and offered those for sale. I'm not even into Lego and (if the piece cost is reasonable) wanting to buy the parts and use the videos as a how to.

The transparency is always appreciated. Thanks and here's wishing you well

I guess nobody has subscribed at the $9,000 tier yet.

I was a Patron a long time ago, stopped due to life being in the way but I'm back to a point where if I can buy myself a fucking sword I can happily support you guys!

Cameron Bennett

Thanks for the transparency, it's very much appreciated.

Varik

Thanks Matt.

Patrick Jackson

A long time fan of you, I remember you very early rant Vlog's all the way to your awesome newer content (especially the Outer Worlds which was incredible) . I often miss the streams but when times are hard, I go back to your older series to re-watch (favourites being Shadow of the Colossus and Bully). I hope my $3 A month helps all of you in these difficult times

I can only afford $1 a month but every little bit counts right? Also I'm probably responsible for a fair bit of that little bit of YT Premium income lol Thanks for the explanation.

Malachy Hamilton

Long time fan since 2012! I understand people are not financially able to contribute as much doing this time, but I am one of a lucky few that would love to contribute more. I miss 90% of your live streams, but is there any way for fans to pay you $50 to play a game of their choice for 30 minutes on twitch regardless if they are able to watch it live or not? I would be down to throw money at you several times a months (since you know we can't go to the strip clubs anymore...jk) Love you Dan, Matt, Rebecca and Steve!

Secret projects, hmm...

I've always wondered about the company and its very comforting and to me, makes me feel involved and sort of warm that you'd be so transparent, it reinforces the feeling I've always gotten from Dan's and Matt's videos that, they're just lovely people who id love to have living across the street as all you'd hear is curse words at every drink spilt, misclick and toe stubbed at much greater volume hope you're all staying safe and again thank you for being so transparent (in a good way, not like a window with bird shite sliding down)

I for one am totally ok if you spend the quid a month I give you on Lamborghinis lol

Yes, but you missed a period in an "...", so 1/5 stars, Matt. Do better XD (no seriously, transparency is amazing and always appreciated)

MYTH

Thanks Matt! I'm happy to keep supporting the team for all the great content on the various platforms.

Charles Rowe

Thank you for the clarity, it’s unnecessary but greatly appreciated. I can’t speak for everyone but the possible need for sponsorships or other revenue streams doesn’t phase me. I’m here because I love everything you all do, a 30 second ad isn’t going to change that. All I ask is that you carry on.

Alex Sutherland

such a shame youtube no longer supports their users :-(

Some of the sponsorship offers we get (even now) are insane. We got one the other week that was basically offering us 6 months income for the one deal (Granted they wanted a couple of vides and several streams but still). We've half joked internally about the idea of doing a 'Sell-out month' and do every sponsorship all at once to get a load of money saved. But I think that would degrade most peoples goodwill, AND most sponsors have an exclusivity period anyway so they'd have to be spread out legally!

Appreciate everything you guys do, thank you for the transparency. Look after yourselves

TheSolBear

Unsurprising Fact #1: Armchair "experts" online thinking they have any concept about how money works.

Stephen Staver

As a training accountant I understand the complexity and confusion people have between turnover of a business and how much profit is left after you've paid all the things off. And also the struggle to be transparent with people who all have varying knowledge of it all. It's really hard and we will always appreciate you all so so much for how hard you all work and what you give to the community! I will always support you guys as much as possible!

Hannah Tapson

Thanks matt, the honesty and all your hard work in general is really appreciated. Stay safe

Matthew coggon

I do love everything you guys do. That’s why I’m here, throwing (tiny amounts) of money at you. The transparency and openness is fantastic. I love Dan, and I want him to keep creating content I love. Can’t wait for the new book!

Darythe Hill

Thank you to all of you for everything you do and the incredible community you've nurtured over the years!

Alexander Lewis

Purple wrapped Lamborghinis? Surely you mean Cerulean blue, we're not philistines ... (That's a Shmee150 reference for non-car guys, he's a British car youtuberist). Food for thought, I'd be perfectly happy with you all shamelessly selling out if it meant you all got filthy rich. If anything I would love to see you all game the system, just how much you can sell out, what bonkers sponsorship you can get and how much you can make, I can imagine quite a few people would be on board with that. Anyway mainly came here to give you a whole extra $2 a month. Think of it as postage on the car wrap catalogue :) x

Luke Fitzpatrick

I've been following Dan since the big Minecraft flying turtle city when I was in grade nine(?). Gave me so many laughs through the years, so many memorable moments that I still look back on to this day. Through the pauses in content, switch ups, "Hell", and every. last. fucking. bush. in The City of Dave. Now I'm 22, out in the real world, and still absolutely love your content to this day. So wish I was able to catch your streams, they look so great to be a part of. But, once I finally made an account on here, this was the first place I came, I am more than happy to support the Nerd³ team, you guys mean the world to me still. Never really had a place to write something like this, really always wanted the opportunity, thanks for all the years! Glad to hear that you're all safe and doing comfortably during all this mess, it's been rough on too many. ❤

JonahEventual

If we were to ever do a sponsorship, it'd be for something non-obtrusive and good, and not related to games (Think Skillshare or something). We really like how Jay Foreman does his sponsored spots, so we'd likely do them similar to how he does. In an ideal world we'd never go down the sponsored route though.

Mattophobia

Thanks for the update Matt, all of you stay safe and keep up the good work

Logan Rees

For comparison, as a software development contractor, I'd usually be making a similar amount per month for a company of 1 that you are for a company of 4, so yes, this is far from megabucks.

Andyface

Thank you all for all the respect you guys give us by being open and honest with all your dealings. I obviously don't speak for everyone but as long as it's a sponsorship you agree with and it's nothing scummy or overly manipulative I think any creators I follow getting sponsorships is a good thing, so I'd say don't be afraid of doing so. Thanks again for everything you guys do!

LeafCaliber

Thanks Matt, I always love to see the behind the scenes of businesses and this is one of the best write-ups I've seen regarding that. It's good to hear you all are doing as well as possible in this time.

Peter Carr

Stuff like this is the reason this is the only Patreon im subbed to. Know that all of your hard work goes appreciated Matt, thank you and fuck you :)

James Hamilton

Matt I just wanted to say that even though many joke about you like the mattfuckedup thing we all appreciate all the great work you have done<3 Thank you for giving a clarification too it always helps.

Joel (Cirael)

Jack Jones

Really well written & informative Matt. Always happy to support all at Nerd³ HQ. Keep up the amazing work, stay safe, and stay sane (we'll... As sane as one can be working with Dan).

So Mr Harris
