Ways to Support the Community Efforts

 

The question I  have been getting recently with increased regularity, is how can a viewer do more to support the community?

#1 Participation

I know it may not feel like much to a community member looking to do more, but simply participating in our efforts by interacting with content, will always be a cornerstone of support!

Viewing Content, Likes, and Comments do so much to expand our community reach to new viewers. For instance, I publish MANY MtG Arena decklists on Aetherhub. Next time you go to check one out, take a moment to like the decklist, or drop a comment. Every time you interact with our content, you increase our clout in that platform, and increase the power and range of our efforts. I realize this feels like a small inconsequential thing, but it has so much impact for such a low effort.

#2 Letting the Ad play on YouTube

The YouTube as of July 2023, has reached monetization and it will now provide a much needed influx of revenue to the community and resources to expand our vision. Please consider letting the Ads play, even if you aren't interested in them. After all, everyone needs a moment to use the restroom, or grab a refreshment.

#3 Subscribe & Follow across our expanding Platforms

I am certain you have discovered our Community on a single platform, probably YouTube. While any given platform represents an important portion of our efforts, did you know we are currently on 6 different platforms?

The fact is, I publish a lot of content for this community, and only a fraction of that content ever makes it out on to any single platform. I've included a list of our current platforms below.

YouTube, Twitch, Aetherhub, Facebook, Blogger and...

#4 Consider becoming a Stronghold Patron

Having become a Budget Community spokesman, I am very aware of the often wide gambit of resources which our members have with relation to their Entertainment funds. The sheer number an frequency of inquiries regarding Patreon, have driven me to take action. It is my sincere hope this provides a pathway for those with more resources to participate more directly in our community development, with the end goal of providing more indirect help to those dealing with a smaller entertainment opportunity.

I have put a lot of effort into creating multiple avenues of support, with specific benefits, and targeted goals. Each level of support is given specific opportunities to guide the community development, and specific areas for it's marginal funding. For instance, the first $1 (only) of each contribution will go to base needs of the Stronghold, like Work Space, Electrify, Broadband Optical Internet Access, and the occasional Coffee for yours truly, because that's what makes me go. Beyond that, each tier of patronage has specific functions like, expand the community, content development, and long term asset upgrades for the Stronghold. It is my goal, that there is an opportunity here for every resource level, and specific interest in our Communities growth.
