A Cause For Concern?

Hi all. Firstly let me say to those who are seeing this, thank you for supporting me here on Patreon. I have however noticed over the last month or so that there's been a quite significant number of people who have stopped their Patreon support, and I'm wondering if it's a cause for concern.

Of course this sort of thing happens from time to time - we'll get some new Patrons and some old Patrons will leave for a variety of reasons that are all fine - but with it being a decent number of people in such a small space of time I'm wondering if there's something I'm doing wrong, or not doing right, that is the cause for it. I sometimes wonder if things are stretched too thin, with Twitch, Patreon and now YouTube Memberships too, but I basically have those available as choices rather than actually expecting anyone to be utilising them all. YouTube are even trialling having multiple levels of membership in a similar way to how Patreon can do different reward levels, so I've been considering whether it would be a better idea to completely close Patreon and favour that if/when it gets rolled out. But then YouTube Memberships are only available in select countries so it's never an easy decision.

Either way I'd like to ask you guys. You can let me know in the replied to this, or on Discord (either in the Patreon Supporters channel or in DMs). Is there something I'm doing wrong, or could I be better in some way? Either with Patreon itself or my videos/streams as a whole? Let me know! As always I want to make sure I do what I can to make sure everyone is enjoying what I do :) Thanks!
