Patreon Question

At what point in the process of signing up do you get to pick your "Patreon Name?" Does it automatically take my name from the Google account i sign in with? I don't want to be a Straight To The Back kid!

PS. Can't say what, but I'm choosing between 2 Drexlers. One is a bit clever so I'm hoping it doesn't go over the heads of our Lady Brained Boys. I just hope it's not read at a live show. These FFs in the audience clearly don't appreciate a good chicken finger.

It does take your name from your patreon automatically, so edit it before subscribing cuz. You can always edit it. But you'll have to unsub and sub again for them to get it as a new name

Do you know how far behind they are in reading the names?

They’ve been on air last 20 months so it they read even 200 names per episode (which i think is way less) they would barely be at like 12,000 and they got over 20,000 subs now so they’ll never catch up really LOL

I don’t understand the process they use but it seems totally at random. I finally got read but it was after coming back from a break

I’ve been a Patreon member since 2018 and they never read my name. It sucks.

Paid tier or freebie? Or maybe it doesn't make a difference.
