About
I started a tech review show pretty much by accident. But now we have over 10,000 subscribers and 3 million video views. And it's still growing!

Media makers in the 21st century don't have the luxury of relying on a single funding source. A bulk of my revenue currently comes from YouTube through the Google Adsense program. It's great and growing. But I don't want to always rely on having all of my eggs in that basket!
That's why I have the Lon.TV Store to help recoup some item acquisition expenses, and why I put affiliate links in the description of most of the products I review.
I am now launching this Patreon - partly because all of the cool kids are doing it - but also because I've received some notes from viewers who want to support the channel monetarily. Patreon (at the moment any way) feels like the most friction-free way to do just that.
I don't like asking for money so I won't be turning the YouTube channel into a telethon anytime soon, but if you feel like you're getting some value out of the content every little bit will help the channel grow.
I also don't want to do backer-only specials as I feel this excludes people who are not able to contribute. So I think I might do more of the things the Patreon backers would like to see but make those videos accessible to everyone.
